Chicago officials clash with federal immigration agents

As immigration enforcement intensified across Chicago, Democratic officials reported tense encounters with federal agents, including state Rep. Hoan Huynh, who says masked officers pointed a gun at him, tried to break his car window and photographed him after he honked to warn others. Ald. Mike Rodriguez said at least eight people, including four U.S. citizens and two members of his staff, were detained in Little Village and Cicero. DHS defended its operations and accused Huynh of stalking agents. City Council member Jessie Fuentes filed a federal tort claim after being handcuffed at a hospital during an earlier incident.
