Overview
- Witnesses say unmarked black Ford Explorer SUVs wearing vests marked for Customs Enforcement chased a red car on Grace Street Tuesday, one SUV struck the car’s rear and the car later crashed into a tree while agents detained an older man.
- Video shared with local outlets appears to show a black SUV hitting the red vehicle before the crash and agents placing a man into an SUV at the scene.
- Chicago police officers arrived about 20 minutes after the crash, blocked off the block with marked squad cars, and told reporters they were waiting to hear back from responding officers for more details.
- The Dunning incident follows a June 2 Albany Park operation in which neighbors reported an unmarked ICE vehicle striking a stopped car and the detention of Domer Jesus Martinez-Sifontes, a sequence that has already driven neighborhood protests and rapid-response monitoring.
- Local reporters and residents are pressing the Department of Homeland Security and ICE for comment while community groups call for transparency and possible formal probes such as CPD crash or Major Accidents reviews to clarify agency roles and tactics.
