The incident unfolded Saturday in Chicago’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say federal agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade

Shocking video shows a chaotic scene on a quiet Chicago street as Border Patrol agents in tactical gear drag a 67-year-old man from his car while children in Halloween costumes look on in horror.

According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding.

The incident unfolded Saturday in the city’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say the agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade amid an immigration enforcement operation.

  • Things banned in #LandoftheFree:

    • Drones (because you must be a CCP Spy or Mexican Cartel member)
    • Radios (because only drug cartels use them)
    • Building electronics gadgets with complex wiring (because Mrs. Karen says she saw an “illegal” with a “bomb”)
    • Perfume (because its definitely drugs)
    • 1st amendment (because bald JD Vance = terrorism)
    • Excercising (because running = crime)

    Did I miss anything?

    [Edit:

    • Doing Algebra on a plane (remember that?)

      Excercising (because running = crime)

      Dude wasn’t even running. He was in his car just trying to go home after running. Turned onto his street and got pulled out of his car and assaulted.

    I cannot WAIT for the hammer to fall. Nazis were not this bad to their own citizens. I read an article that said the Republicans are planning to escape to Venezuela if the mid terms go bad for them. These fucking Democrat pussy politicians better prosecute ICE and everyone involved in this.

    Trump is literally trying to provoke confrontation were none is so he can have a weak ass justification to clamp down harder … just in time for mid terms.

    He is a fucking traitor.

      Nazis were not this bad to their own citizens.

      Really? The relocation to ghettos, the camps, the beatings, and the gold stars/pink triangles were better treatment than this? On par, sure. But better?

        Well … less than 1% of the population were targeted by the Nazi party. More along the lines of 500k people, and many of them left.

        MAGA is going after 30-35% of the population … assuming ICE is screening by skin color (which they are).

        Its simple numbers. MAGA is going to be way worse than the Nazi party once they get fully ramped up.

    that’s a lot of taxpayer money going to this guy’s medical expenses and compensation for suffering

      • It’s a meme. It appeared to have originated from a rap song, and then was “remixed” by some kid on TikTok saying the line with the “comparative” hand gesture.

        Don’t ask me why kids think it’s hilarious. It just seems pretty “lol random” to me 🤷‍♂️ At least Skibidi Toilet has a fucking hilarious premise and origin (stupid Gmod/SFM video series that is surprisingly deep despite being presented as utter brain rot. Plus toilets are funny.)

        I too am confused. I’m teaching my toddler to count to 10 and my older kids chime in each time as I pass these numbers

      For anyone wondering. Bro is brain rotted beyond repair.

      “6,7” is a meme amongst the youth. It doesn’t mean anything. The meme itself is more about paradolia and confirmation bias of the two digits.

      If you want to stay hip, freak out whenever you see these two numbers in that order.

      Edit: obligatory peter in a straight jacket

    If America saw what America was doing to America, then America would invade America to liberate America.
