Immigration sweep on Sunday targeted hundreds in Chicago with multiple agencies involved and Dr. Phil livestreaming.
The knocks began before sunrise. Across Chicago, dozens of agents fanned out in the pre-dawn darkness. At one house in the Hermosa neighborhood, they pounded on the door, shouting, “Come here,” and “Please open the door.” No one answered.
It was the same at several more locations — but by late morning, the team’s fortunes had turned. A 28-year-old Mexican man they were searching for had just returned home in a silver truck after picking up tamales. As unmarked cars surrounded him, agents made the arrest, taking him into custody to face deportation.
