An ICE officer shot and killed an undocumented immigrant during an arrest attempt in a Chicago suburb. The immigrant, who entered the country at an unknown time and date, was described by ICE as "a criminal illegal alien with a history of reckless driving". Neighbors report that the immigrant, who has not been identified, was the father of two daughters and was well-known in the neighborhood.
The shooting, which took place on Tuesday afternoon, sparked fear and anger among families in the community, who have started to question their safety and the presence of ICE in the area.
"I never knew something like this would happen right next to me," Sandy Moreno, a resident of the area since early this year, says. "I saw the police come in here, block off the road. It didn't feel safe anymore."
Details around the events that led to the shooting vary wildly depending on the source. ICE reports that the agent shot the immigrant while trying to arrest him, alleging that he resisted arrest and drove his vehicle at the officer. However, witnesses claim that the officer shot the immigrant while he was getting out of his car after being pulled over.
The officer, who has also not been identified, has been placed on administrative leave pending investigation. ICE reportedly has a history of scrutinizing the immigrant, who had been arrested multiple times in the past for DUI and drug possession.
