Lion Heart 15,041 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 A Chicago man was shot after immigration agents stormed into a house on the city's northwest side Monday morning — and officials have acknowledged that the wounded man was not the person they were looking for, according to reports. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents encountered a man wielding a gun when they rushed into a residence in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood just before 6:30 a.m., agency officials said. An agent subsequently opened fire, striking the man in his left arm, officials said. The man, identified as Felix Torres, was taken to a nearby hospital, where he remained in serious condition early Tuesday. ICE officials acknowledged to DNAinfo.com that Torres was not the person they came to detain, declining to reveal further details. But Torres' daughter, Carmen Torres, told the local news site that she was perplexed why agents would target their home, as no one there is undocumented. She also said her father doesn't own a gun. "It's a lie when they say he was holding a gun," Torres said, speaking outside her home. "They shot my dad. They shot him, and I don't know why." Torres said she was asleep downstairs with her husband and their 1-year-old daughter when the agents rushed in and dragged them outside. "They didn't say anything. They just came in and pointed pistols in our faces," she said. "We didn't even have time to dress or grab milk for the baby." Torres said at least eight relatives were home at the time of the raid, including her 5-month-old nephew. She also claimed none of her relatives are undocumented, adding that the family has lived in the house for "at least 30 years." http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ice-agents-shoot-chicago-man-acknowledge-wrong-person-article-1.3011036?cid=bitly ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinTrudeau 2,419 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 At least he didn't die from the gun shot, though he's in serious condition now. What could their possible reasoning be? Wouldn't it be better to arrest before asking rather than shoot before asking? This is messed up. I fell down the stairs once as an actor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
