Belmont Cragin residents say they want answers after a man was wounded by gunfire from federal immigration agents who entered his home early Monday morning.
Villegas’s office confirmed that 53-year-old Felix Torres Sr. was the man shot. The alderman’s office couldn’t confirm the names of the other family members present at the time of the shooting.
Graciela Guzman was among the northwest-siders who came to the press conference Tuesday to try and get clarity on the incident, and to show support for the immigrant community.
The Chicago Police Department has confirmed that it did not cooperate or collaborate with federal agents during Monday’s incident. The department had been advised that Homeland Security, the agency responsible for ICE, was going to be in the area, but wasn’t given specifics about anyone being taken into custody. Officers from the 25th District then responded to the shooting, CPD confirmed.
