racist thugs harass innocent Americans, spread terror and violence
Diaz, 23, had been walking down Archer Avenue on the Southwest Side in late September, heading toward the CTA Orange Line for a trip downtown. Earbuds in, he was listening to music and said he barely registered the vehicle that pulled up near him. That was until he felt the pain in his shoulder.
Diaz felt confused and disoriented. He couldn’t hear because “Higher Power” by Coldplay was still playing in his ears. But when he craned his neck, and saw more than half a dozen federal agents surrounding him, he understood what was happening.
“I’m Hispanic and I’m dark (skinned), so that’s why they picked me up,” Diaz, a U.S. citizen, said. “It feels scary because I’m wearing a target — you know, pick me up because I’m this color. It shouldn’t be like that.”
Diaz is one of the five U.S. citizens and green card holders the Tribune spoke to who has either been questioned or detained by federal immigration agents during Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz for seemingly no other reason than being Latino, an experience they said was equal parts terrifying and frustrating.A landscaper in Evanston was handcuffed until he proved he’s an American citizen. House painters and laborers in the northwest suburbs were asked to show proof of citizenship. A woman finishing her shift at a downtown bar zip-tied and questioned for an hour because she “doesn’t look like” her last name. An Illinois Department of Transportation employee, who is Indian, questioned if he’s aware of New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani at a resurfacing project in Park Ridge.https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/...ation-chicago/While he was up against the vehicle, Diaz said one of the agents ripped out his earbuds and handcuffed him. He said the masked agents didn’t tell him their names or badge numbers. He worried that they may not even be real agents.
They asked him a series of questions — is he a citizen, does he have a green card, is he here illegally, where was he born, Diaz recalled. He told agents they could check his ID and Social Security card that he’s carried in his wallet since hearing about immigration raids in Los Angeles earlier this year.
While an agent inspected the card, Diaz said he tried to move his sore right arm that was pinned behind his back.
“And one of the agents says, ‘Don’t move. Don’t try to run.’ And I told him, ‘I’m not trying to run. I’m just getting comfortable,’” Diaz said. “He’s like, if you move again, I’m gonna tase you. And he takes out his taser, and points it at my ribs.”
After about five minutes, he said an agent put the cards back in his wallet and threw it on the ground. They then walked to their vehicle and drove away, he said.
“I felt like a piece of trash,” Diaz said. “They’re not even treating me like a human being. They’re treating me like I’m some piece of plastic.”

“He had disappeared,” Favela said. “They disappeared him despite him being here legally.”
It took 10 days for the family to find Huerta wandering the streets of Franklin Park, disoriented, dirty and hungry. Based on what Huerta could recall, the family believes agents released him without a phone call or transportation home.

Aceituno recounted the conversation to a Charlotte Observer journalist at the scene. “I don’t have to answer your questions,” he said he replied. “Why don’t you ask other people that? Why just me?”

https://www.daylightsandiego.org/san...-appointments/Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers began detaining people at their green card interviews in downtown San Diego this week.
On Wednesday, word spread quickly among immigration attorneys about clients arrested at routine appointments with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that should’ve been the last part of the process to get their green cards for permanent residence in the United States.
“It's pretty shocking honestly,” said Tessa Cabrera, whose client was among those detained. “It's not something we've seen at all.”
