CHICAGO — State Senator Robert Peters (D-Chicago) released the following statement in response to today’s federal activity at 105th and Avenue N. in Chicago’s Southeast Side:

“Once again, lawless federal agents have wreaked havoc in a Chicago neighborhood today, and, once again, residents gathered to make it clear to the masked agents they are not welcome to terrorize people in our community.

“I am in touch with city officials and legal aid to ensure the estimated nine community members who were abducted by ICE agents today in the Southeast Side have representation and their families are supported, and I will share any additional information about this incident as I receive it.”
