Chicago, IL – On October 22, 2025, at approximately 10:00 AM, multiple agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), identifiable by their "POLICE U.S. BORDER PATROL" vests, were observed conducting operations outside a laundromat located at 31 in Pulaski. Eyewitnesses inside the establishment captured footage showing several armed agents patrolling the perimeter and attempting to gain entry into the facility, which appeared to be locked from within. The presence of federal agents in a public community space such as a laundromat has raised immediate concerns among local residents and advocacy groups. One individual, who wished to remain anonymous, commented, "We need the hero’s name that locked that door." Another expressed broader anxiety, stating, "Dios los proteja paisanos y a nosotros también 🙏."
