This is your leadership, Chicago. Surely, you can do better than this.
Judd is recognized for his straightforward and outspoken approach as the Sheriff of Polk County. He is known for his relentless pursuit of justice, particularly through public statements and major operations aimed at combating human trafficking and other crimes. Additionally, he is praised for his effective communication with both the media and the community, his efforts to reduce crime rates, and his leadership within law enforcement organizations.
Known for his no-nonsense approach, he was infuriated when he learned that the Chicago Police Department was ordered to stand down, leaving ICE without backup when protesters attacked them. The ambush consisted of a convoy of roughly ten vehicles, described by officials as a “coordinated assault.”
The confrontation began when Marimar Martinez, a known agitator with a history of doxxing ICE agents online, allegedly rammed her vehicle into an ICE patrol unit while brandishing a semi-automatic weapon.
Outnumbered and feeling trapped, the agents were compelled to exit their vehicles and fire warning shots, hitting Martinez in the shoulder.
Martinez fled the scene and later checked into Mount Sinai Hospital before being taken into FBI custody. Another suspect, Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, was arrested and is currently in federal detention.
Fortunately, no federal officers sustained life-threatening injuries; however, several CBP agents were treated for minor injuries following the assault.
Despite emergency calls made by the agents, Chicago police officers did not respond due to a direct “no response” order from their command.
