ICE Accused of Violating Rights of U.S. Citizen and Others in Chicago
Activists in Chicago are alleging that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) violated the rights of a U.S. citizen and 21 others during a series of arrests. Legal representatives have claimed in court that ICE not only created warrants after arrests but also engaged in illegal detentions. One notable case involves Abel Orozco from Lyons, Illinois, whose encounter with immigration agents was captured on camera. A lawsuit has been filed challenging the legality of these ICE operations, with civil rights attorneys arguing that the agency has doctored documents and violated legal settlements during its raids. The situation has raised significant concerns over the treatment of individuals by ICE in the Midwest.
