Chicago: Video of teen arrested in Hoffman Estates prompts call for answers

[Jilly_in_VA]

A video circulating on social media showing unidentified officers roughly detaining a teenager in Hoffman Estates has prompted local police to deny any involvement and has led the area’s congressman to call for answers.

In the video, four unmarked cars can be seen pulling up behind another car near a residential street corner. At least six agents emerge, with one agent pulling a female teenage passenger out of the car by her arm. The video shows the unidentified male officer spin the teen to the ground, and he appears to kneel on her upper back near her neck while restraining her arms. The teen screams, “I’m not (expletive) resisting.”

The 18-year-old, who gave only her first name, Evelyn, told the Tribune Wednesday that the incident occurred last Friday and that she and two others were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. They were released without charges after a few hours, she said.

Prior to being detained, the teenagers had been following the agents’ cars and honking their car horn to warn people that federal agents were patrolling the neighborhood.

“I don’t like the way they’re treating everybody,” she told the Tribune. “They can treat anybody how they treated me. We’re here to fight together, not alone.”
She said her parents are Hispanic and have legal status and that she was born in the United States.

ICE hates being outed, so they arrest the kids.

1. And that evil liar, Trish McGlaughlin

Tried to gaslight again, by making an official statement that the video was actually a Chicago PD Op from last year. She's the worst bald faced liar in the admin, and that's saying a lot.
