Full Description
On September 19, 2025, I attended a peaceful protest outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois. I was standing on a public sidewalk, unarmed, holding a sign and flag, when federal agents began using force against me without warning.
An ICE agent approached with his weapon drawn and pushed me by the neck. Multiple agents then grabbed me from different directions and forced me to the ground. While I was down, I was struck multiple times with pepper-ball projectiles. After I stood back up, I was pushed repeatedly by agents.
A separate agent then sprayed me with mace at close range, causing immediate loss of vision and severe distress. As I sat on the ground unable to see, other protesters attempted to assist me by flushing my eyes with water. While I was in this impaired state, I was struck in the head at very close range, causing me to lose consciousness.
When I began to regain awareness, I reached for my glasses and inadvertently made contact with an agent’s mask. In response, the agent raised his firearm to my face at point-blank range. I pushed the weapon away from my face, after which the agent grabbed me from behind and placed me in a chokehold.
Following this, I was detained and taken behind the facility gates. I repeatedly requested medical attention but was told I would have to wait hours. When I was eventually transported to the hospital, multiple ICE agents remained with me throughout treatment and stated their intent to return me to custody. Fearing for my safety, I called 911, but an agent and hospital security removed the phone and told me no one would help me.
I was later transported to another ICE facility, processed, and released after approximately eight hours.
As a result of this incident, I suffered significant physical and psychological harm. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, experience ongoing panic attacks and agoraphobia, and was ultimately forced to leave my job because I could no longer function in public or workplace environments.
