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.

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

      They know. They don’t care. They believe the “our country has been flooded with violent criminal illegal aliens” bullshit so when they see people being brutalized, they immediately think, “oh well they must deserve it. I have nothing to worry about because I don’t deserve it.”

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

      That would be the lie America would tell everyone. The real reason would be that America wants to loot America’s natural resources.

      America doesn’t invade because of such things.

      Or you mean “liberation” in the very sense as Russia liberates Ukraine? Just killing and destroying for fun? Well, in this case America is liberating America right now!

        No, America “liberates” countries because they have resources that can be exploited.

        Killing and destroying for fun is just a perk.
