Individual immigration law enforcement officers and agents in Chicago are being targeted by “gangs” and “cartel members” with bounties of up to $10,000 on their heads, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said Sunday.

Protesters in the Windy City have been clashing with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Patrol agents as they conduct sweeping immigration raids at the direction of President Donald Trump, and against the wishes of Chicago’s mayor and Illinois’s governor.

Noem has condemned protesters and claimed that DHS “intelligence” indicates many are part of organized crime groups seeking to kidnap or kill federal immigration law enforcement agents.

“We have specific officers and agents that have bounties that have been put out on their head,” Noem told Fox & Friends. “It’s been $2,000 to kidnap them, $10,000 to kill them, they’ve released their pictures, they’ve sent them between their networks, and it’s an extremely dangerous situation.” Noem claimed “gangs,” “cartel members,” and “known terrorist organizations” are the ones behind the bounties but did not identify specific groups.
