U.S. citizen injured in Illinois after ICE agents mistook him for fugitive, tried to arrest him

A U.S. citizen sustained injuries after being mistaken for a fugitive by immigration enforcement agents in a Chicago suburb, according to local police and a bystander. The incident occurred in Evanston, a city around 12 miles north of downtown Chicago. The man's injuries included cuts to his head, neck, and teeth, and he was taken to the hospital for treatment.

ICE agents were looking for a fugitive with a Chicago address and a warrant for his arrest when they mistook the man for the target. The man refused to provide identification and was taken away in an ambulance. Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss condemned the incident, which drew backlash against ICE's presence in communities across the country.
