Antonio Enriquez, 53, was walking to a Melrose Park store last month when agents demanded to see his documents. He told them they were a few blocks away at his home, pleading “Vamos a mi casa. Let’s go to my house.” But the agents ignored him. The feds took Enriquez to the Broadview ICE facility. He was held for six hours until she took a copy of his green card and Social Security card. She feared that ICE wouldn’t let him go even though he’s in the country legally. Read the story:

Agents also last month arrested Omar Huerta Cisneros, a green card holder who has lived in the U.S. since he was a child, while he was on his way to a grocery store in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood. It marked the start of a desperate 10-day search by Huerta’s family. The 54-year-old has schizophrenia, a mental illness that often leaves him disoriented and unable to independently care for himself when he isn’t medicated. Huerta’s sister-in-law said the family called and emailed every office within DHS that they could think of, conveying that Huerta urgently needs his medication. But most of the calls went unanswered, she said. And if someone did pick up, they told her they didn’t know where he was. “He had disappeared,” She said. “They disappeared him despite him being here legally.”

Arianna Sofia Veraza, a one-year-old, and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window. They were not protesting. DHS didn’t address the Veraza family’s run-in in a statement, only saying that people “stalked” the federal convoy into the Sam’s Club parking lot and that one Border Patrol vehicle was rammed during that confrontation. According to the statement, agents arrested 9 people, 8 of whom were U.S citizens, over the course of the morning in Little Village and Cicero.
