ICE agents descended on the city and its suburbs as part of their operations, and protesters were also detained during clashes with law enforcement. A chaotic scene in Evanston, a suburb of Illinois, was captured on video by multiple spectators after a car rear-ended an ICE vehicle on Friday."

The local news site LA TACO published images of agents wearing disturbing masks, including one modeled after the horror movie character Chucky. When the news outlet reached out to the homeland security department for comment, a spokesperson replied with: Happy Halloween!"
