It was not immediately clear how the alleged handcuffing was related to immigration enforcement.

Alderperson Jessie Fuentes, state Sen. Graciela Guzmán, Cook County Commissioner Jessica Vásquez, Alderman Anthony Quezada, Alderwoman Rossana Rodríguez-Sánchez, and the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights are anticipated to address the public on Friday outside the emergency room of Humboldt Park Health.

Fuentes’ office reported that tear gas was recently deployed on bystanders near the Home Depot at Cicero Street and Armitage Avenue as well as at Rico Fresh located on Armitage and Central Park Avenue.

There has been an increased presence of federal agents across much of Chicago recently.

In the Back of the Yards neighborhood, many people were around when at least five men were detained Thursday.

This comes as the Department of Homeland Security says it has made more than 900 arrests so far across Illinois in “Operation Midway Blitz.”

There was also an immigration raid in Humboldt Park about 6 a.m. Thursday morning. A woman says federal agents knocked down her front door.

She says her husband and two other men in the home were detained by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

A woman has shared that she is a migrant from Venezuela, and her family has been in the U.S. for three years while they undergo the asylum-seeking process.
