Krishnamoorthi Demands Transparency and Accountability After Shocking Hoffman Estates ICE Detention Caught on Video
October 13, 2025
Press Release
SCHAUMBURG, IL – Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi today reaffirmed the validity of the video showing ICE agents violently detaining individuals in Hoffman Estates, confirmed that the incident occurred in his district, and condemned the Trump Administration’s campaign of secrecy, brutality, and misinformation surrounding its mass immigration raids. Krishnamoorthi said his office continues to gather information about the Hoffman Estates incident and renewed his call for transparency and oversight following the Administration’s latest attempt to obstruct congressional access at an Illinois ICE facility.

“My team and I continue to gather information about the exact details of what happened in Hoffman Estates on Friday — but there is no doubt that the video is real and that it happened here, in my district, on a street I have walked myself.

What that footage appears to show — a child being slammed to the ground by an ICE agent — is indefensible.

The Hoffman Estates Police Department has confirmed that ICE agents were present in the department’s parking lot that same day and issued a statement referencing videos circulating about the day’s events. Yet instead of providing transparency or clarifying the facts, a senior official at the Department of Homeland Security aggressively spread misinformation online, falsely claiming this was an unrelated arrest from over a year ago and miles away in Chicago.
This continues a disturbing pattern of ICE and the Department of Homeland Security denying the public transparency or accountability while actively spreading politically motivated disinformation.


No offense - but I trust him. Never trust the lady who murdered her dog. She's a piece of shit, A fake, A phoney baloney who engages in false advertising with all of her plastic surgery.

Also - take a look at State Rep Hernandez (D-Melrose Park). That 15 year old had just had kidney surgery.

It was NOT propaganda from the Left. Its not a lie. All "blue folk" ain't kin folk.

Remember the family separation policy? This is that on steroids and TSFs administration needs to wear it.

Look at Raja's voting record. He is one hundred percent true blue.

I am supporting Juliana Stratton, who has the endorsements of JB and Duckworth. I like Raja, but we need him where he is.

Are citizens supposed to just sit back and wait for an ICE visit?

Some people are not inclined to be passive when thugs are trying to kick in their door or kidnap their kids because they dared to disagree with Dear Leader and his house of cronies.
