One of the locations includes Archer Heights. Volunteers with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights were at the location after one suspected ICE arrest, spreading their "know your rights" information and informing residents of the detainment.
Video shared on social media showed the suspected detainment. The officers don't identify themselves, but have the words "police" and "federal agent" across their vests. They took a man into an unmarked car as witnesses tried to get more information.
