CHICAGO COPS ordered NOT TO ASSIST ICE GOONS swarmed by demonstrators. [View all]

Department of Homeland Security agents were seen abandoning one attempt to arrest a man in Chicago over the weekend after being outnumbered by protesters. In at least one case, the Chicago Police Department was ordered not to assist federal agents swarmed by demonstrators, according to reports.

In videos circulated on Instagram, two masked agents could be seen trying to take a man into custody in the middle of a busy street.

Drivers shouted at the federal agents and blew their horns as onlookers gathered. The struggle went on for several minutes before the agents released the man and fled in an unmarked vehicle.

Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported that Chicago officers were instructed not to respond to the U.S. Border Patrol's calls for help in another incident where a vehicle was rammed and a person was shot.
