ICE officer fatally shoots man during traffic stop in Chicago suburb, authorities say
https://www.wbez.org/immigration/2025/09/12/ice-officer-fatally-shoots-man-during-traffic-stop-in-chicago-suburb-authorities-sayFederal immigration agents fatally shot a man Friday morning in the Northwest suburbs after he allegedly attempted to flee a traffic stop and struck an officer with his car, officials said.
The shooting comes days after President Donald Trump’s long-promised immigration enforcement campaign launched in the Chicago area earlier this week, generating widespread fear in the city’s and suburbs’ immigrant communities.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were conducting “targeted law enforcement activity” in Franklin Park when they stopped the vehicle, according to a statement from the agency.
During the stop, a man allegedly resisted arrest and attempted to drive his car into officers, dragging one officer, according to the statement.
