Chicago: ICE Agent Shoots and Injures Father During Home Raid

HeadlineMar 28, 2017

Meanwhile, in Chicago, an agent with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, shot and injured 53-year-old Felix Torres, after the agents burst into the family’s house Monday morning. His daughter, Carmen Torres, says the family was sleeping when agents burst through the front door. She said, “They just came in and pointed pistols in our faces and dragged us out. We didn’t even have time to dress or grab milk for the baby.” Felix Torres was hospitalized in serious condition after the shooting. ICE says he was not the man they were seeking to arrest. We’ll have more on immigration and sanctuary cities after headlines.
