🚨BREAKING: in Chicago, ICE agents illegally entered Bridgeview courthouse, tackled and detained a man, and it all happened while Cook County deputies stood by and allowed it. Illinois law, and a Cook County court order says, federal agents are not allowed to make civil arrests inside courthouses unless they present a valid judicial warrant. According to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office, ICE agents claimed they had a warrant… but did not produce it. Despite that, they still entered the courthouse, handcuffed a man in the lobby, and removed him from the building. Then, in the video, a deputy is seen shaking hands with an ICE agent, after the arrest. And when the person filming questioned the legality of what just happened, another deputy shrugged, and said, “Isn’t being here illegally a crime?” Which… no. Being undocumented in the U.S. is not a criminal offense. But, besides that, instead of upholding the law, the sheriff just assumed… and potentially allowed a kidnapping to happen. The Public Defender’s office says no federal criminal charges have been identified, and the man was reportedly there for a deferred prosecution hearing. Earlier that same day, ICE also detained a woman, and a small child, outside the courthouse, which the Public Defender’s office called a clear violations of state law. So, the questions, everyone needs to be asking, are this… If there’s a law banning this, a court order banning this, and no warrant is even produced when asked… how is this still happening inside a courthouse? And why are the very people sworn to uphold the law, standing by while it happens?
