Waukegan, Illinois - On Sunday, multiple federal agents allegedly from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (U.S.ICE), U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Marshals Service (U.S.MS) and etc. wearing body armor saying police/federal/ICE agent and heavily armed in unmarked vehicles with tinted windows conducted a door knock raid sweep at various locations in Waukegan, Mundelein,  North Chicago, and South Chicago in Illinois. Numerous neighbors and residents were able to take photos and videos of unmarked vehicles including several with out of state license plates from Iowa, federal government plates and etc., according to Facebooks posts by Margaret Carrasco and Leslie Pérez Sánchez from Waukegan Roselee Ayala and Tom Ramos from South Chicago.

Carrasco reported at least 30 feds near a catholic church preparing for a massive raid operation allegedly targeting those attending the Sunday's church service.

Ramos reported USICE agents at E. 99 Street and S. Commercial Ave. in South Chicago.

So far, 1 unidentified man was taken into custody because his wife opened the door when feds knocked at the door, but they didn't have a valid judicial federal warrant signed by a federal judge to arrest anyone, the wife says.

No federal agency has announced or confirmed any mass raids taking place in the Waukegan and the Chicago metro-area on Sunday.

USICE under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (USDHS) is known to be one of the most corrupt immigration law enforcement agencies in the federal government. (http://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2017/10/us-ice-and-border-customs-agents-lack.html)
