• An armed woman, part of the protest, allegedly rammed her vehicle into an ICE patrol car. Reports indicate she had a semi-automatic weapon.
• During the encounter, ICE officers fired warning shots to protect themselves but did not have serious injuries.
• The woman, a U. S. citizen, later sought medical attention for her injuries after driving herself to the hospital.
