Border Patrol Agents Caught on Video Beating and Choking a CITIZEN in Chicago.
A disturbing video out of Chicago’s West Side shows U.S. Border Patrol agents detaining a Black man after a car accident — with one agent appearing to choke him while his hands are restrained behind his back.
The clip, filmed by a bystander and shared widely on social media, shows several agents in tactical gear surrounding the man next to a white sedan. Witnesses say the agents claimed “this is not an immigration enforcement action”; yet the man was handcuffed and taken away.
📍 The incident took place near California Avenue and Congress Parkway, in Chicago’s East Garfield Park area.
📅 Reported mid-October 2025.
So far, no charges have been announced and DHS hasn’t explained why Border Patrol was even there. The man was later released, according to local reports.
Civil rights advocates say this is part of a pattern of violent and unlawful detentions under the guise of “federal protection.”
“This isn’t law enforcement, this is intimidation,” said one community organizer.
Why are federal agents assaulting civilians in our cities?
