US #BorderPatrol Commander-at-large Gregory #Bovino led a caravan of at least a dozen agents across #Chicago suburbs including Evanston, Skokie & Niles, & Edison Park neighborhood.

Sun-Times journalists followed the caravan for at least an hour & witnessed 4 arrests—2 in Albany Park & 2 others in Edison Park & Niles.

Christopher Klim, a #US #citizen from #Poland, was seen handcuffed & later released ~2PM as he remodeled a home in the 7400 block of North Oconto Ave.

His co-worker, who Klim said also is a #US #citizen from #Poland, was arrested & taken away in the caravan of SUVs.

“I’m not [a] criminal. I’m just working,” Klim, 59, said shortly after he was released & the federal agents had driven away.

“I’m so stressed…I’m worried,” Klim said of his co-worker. “He’s got his car. He lives not so far from here, but I don’t know even [his] last name & I don’t have a phone number to his wife.”

Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the raid. A #US #citizen, he said agents broke through his door & dragged him out in zip ties.

Johnson said he was left #TiedUp outside the building for nearly 3 hours before agents finally let him go.

“I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, & they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a #warrant, & I asked for a #lawyer. They never brought one.”

The feds also claimed the South Shore neighborhood was “a location known to be frequented by Tren de Aragua members and their associates,” but #DHS gave NO EVIDENCE to support the assertion, & authorities did not confirm that any of the people arrested were members of the Venezuelan gang.

Rep #HakeemJeffries has highlighted the case of a 2-year-old #US #citizen known as “VML” who was detained with her mother & sister, who both lacked legal status to be in the United States, at a routine #immigration check-in in New Orleans & subsequently deported to Honduras with no meaningful #DueProcess.

As a #UScitizen “deported” to Honduras, #VML is now effectively stateless.
