Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

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.
