Furious anti-ICE protesters threw snowballs at feds to protect Chicago Tren de Aragua gangbanger, DHS says | 8 Dec 2025 | The illegal immigrant whom Chicago anti-ICE protesters tried to protect by hurling rocks and snowballs at the feds is an alleged Tren de Aragua gangbanger who had rammed an officer as they tried to arrest him, the Department of Homeland Security said Monday. ICE arrested Luis Jesus Acosta Gutierrez — who entered the U.S. under former President [sic] Joe Biden — following the impromptu riot on a snowy residential street in Elgin, Illinois, in which dozens of protesters lobbed rocks, bottles and icy snowballs at federal agents who had been chasing Gutierrez, according to DHS. Immigration agents had attempted to conduct a traffic stop on Gutierrez, when he smashed his car into one of the agency’s vehicles, sending it careening into a tree. He then fled the crash on foot before barricading himself in a stranger’s apartment.
