Part 4/7:
Community members have reported multiple troubling incidents where ICE disrupted families and individuals in public and private settings. One such case involved a family in Cicero, where parents were detained without notice, leaving children unattended—raising alarms over the methods and circumstances of these detentions.
Officials have observed increasing instances of ICE agents operating in public places, workplaces, and courts—sometimes without identifying themselves or cooperating with staff. This clandestine approach has been perceived as intimidating and malicious, with reports of staff threatened or obstructed from documenting what they witness.
