"Dan Jones was jolted awake around 1 a.m. Tuesday to the sound of federal agents trying to break through his apartment door. They couldn't get past his double lock, so he went back to bed. But when he woke up hours later for work, he walked out and found broken doors littering the hallwayand his neighbors missing."
"Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked, residents and witnesses said. Agents approached or entered nearly every apartment in the five-story building, and U.S. citizens were among those detained for hours."
"When he got home from work, Jones said he entered his unit to find all of his electronics and furniture missing, and all of his clothes and shoes thrown on the floor. Jones said he had no idea who took his belongings and hadn't received answers from Chicago police. I'm pissed off, Jones said. I feel defeated because the authorities aren't doing anything."
Federal immigration agents executed an early-morning raid at a five-story South Shore apartment building in Chicago, detaining dozens of residents. Agents in military fatigues forcibly entered or approached nearly every unit, pulling men, women and children from apartments, and U.S. citizens were detained for hours. Residents reported broken doors, mattresses and belongings strewn in hallways, and missing electronics and furniture from units. Property managers discarded damaged doors and mattresses into dumpsters while toys, shoes and food remained in debris-filled corridors. Several residents said they received no explanations from police and described feeling defeated and angry after the operation.
