An ICE agent threatened to kill my friend as we were legally observing a detention in Chicago. This same agent was videoed September 20 in Evanston, IL, where he and his team injured a US citizen whom they attempted to detain.

This ICE agent immediately became aggressive when he realized he was being filmed.
You may notice the high-visibility vest in the passenger seat. ICE agents often place these vests in their windshields to blend in. This man is an ICE agent. He and his vehicle have been seen abducting my neighbors.
This ICE vehicle attempted to hit a legal observer simply for filming their actions and holding them accountable.
Ice agents blocked in observers, then pulled a gun and a taser on others, and then blocked them in claiming they were blocking the road.
An ICE agent went to the police as observers were filming his car. He was then allowed into an authorized area, and a police officer came and drove his vehicle away. The ICE agent was parked in handicapped parking.
An ICE agent was filmed exchanging information with a Bloomingdale police officer. Illinois law prohibits local law enforcement from working with ICE unless they have a judicial warrant.
Agents drove over the curb past an “Authorized Personnel Only” sign in St.Charles.
Ice agents shoved nonviolent observers and threatened them with tasers as they detained a man.
Ice arrested a man and shoved a teen to the ground. 20 minutes later the vehicles were spotted again and an eyewitness said he watched them let the man go.
I was filming this agent’s illegal plate cover when he got out of his vehicle, stomped on my foot, and shoved me back trying to trip me. I was never in his way.
TPS was just cut from 350,000 Haitians. This will only get worse.
(Illinois) HB1312 prohibits ICE from operating within 1,000 feet of a courthouse. Here’s a Kane County sheriff ignoring the situation and refusing to give his badge number.
This morning reportedly by a home owner, ICE agents jumped the fence into their yard, never presented a judicial warrant, and shot a gun at her home (not in video.)
Again, WITHOUT A JUDICIAL WARRANT, ICE agents went into private property, arrested someone from their home, and shot a gun at the house.
Doing this kind of action without the required warrant used to be illegal. Now it’s commonplace.
Thugs.
We had been filming an ICE vehicle after a group of agents detained a man. The vehicle ended up at the Wheaton Police Station and it seemed that the agent had called ahead as a cop was waiting to pull us over.
Ice is always trained to use least force necessary and de-escalate every situation lmao.
