10/14/2025 — WHAT WE’VE HEARD TODAY:

Federal agents deployed tear gas into the East Side neighborhood in Chicago around noon on Tuesday, amid a day of raids in the area during which Border Patrol agents detained at least one Black person.

Video shared to social media just after 1:00 p.m. Tuesday shows masked Border Patrol agents raiding a Walgreens in the 3600 block of E. 106th Street. The exact timeframe of the incident isn’t clear, but the video depicts an older white agent straddling a young Black man on the ground outside the convenience store.

“Why you running?” the agent asks the young man underneath him. As the young man attempts to answer, a person can be heard in the video screaming, “he’s a citizen!”

“Get the f—ck away from me! You don’t know what’s going on, so get the f—ck back,” the white agent responds. 

An area resident shared with The TRiiBE a second video of the incident from a different angle. In that angle, more people are screaming, “he’s a U.S. citizen” and “damn, that’s f—cked up.” In that video, the white agent tells a witness, “they crashed their car.” The witness responds, “oh really? And what you’s doing when you crash people’s cars?”

In the video, a man can be overheard saying, “show your faces!” A second person is walked out of the Walgreens by agents, who then place them into an SUV.  

Around noon, the community responded to the presence of Border Patrol agents at the intersection of 105th Street and South Avenue N., only a few blocks northwest from the Walgreens. Dozens of locals gathered at the scene after the agents were reportedly involved in a car crash. 

Ring camera footage provided to and reviewed by The TRiiBE shows a white SUV striking a red SUV in a swiping maneuver from behind, causing the red SUV to spin out through the intersection of 105th St. and Ave. N. The crash took place in the late morning, though it is unclear whether it’s connected to the scene outside of the nearby Walgreens.

This apparent PIT (precision immobilization technique) maneuver is a controversial vehicle tactic used by police forces across the country, including the Illinois State Police.

Two people emerge from the red vehicle and run in separate directions, pursued by at least three masked federal agents who jumped out of the white vehicle. Aerial video from ABC-7 News later in the day depicts agents surrounding both damaged SUVs.  

A local resident told The TRiiBE they counted more than 10 agents at the scene of the crash. ABC-7’s video of the scene shows far more were present; over two dozen. 

“They had brought out their guns, it looked like they wanted to point them at us,” a resident said of the agents.
