Evanston resident injured after mistaken ICE detention; police investigate

A U.S. citizen and Evanston resident was injured Sunday morning when ICE agents detained him by mistake in front of a Howard Street restaurant. Police say he suffered head, neck, and dental injuries, was treated at St. Francis Hospital, and was later released after authorities determined he was not the person sought. The Evanston Police Department is investigating, reviewing video and body-worn/in-car footage, as ICE activity in the area is examined; ICIRR noted related regional enforcement activity, with Evanston’s case marking a notable incident after months without an ICE detainer in the city.
