A man is recovering from injuries he sustained on Sunday morning after being mistakenly detained by ICE agents in a suburb of Chicago. In a video verified by NBC News, a Black man is seen lying on the street, near a sidewalk, behind a black SUV close to the intersection of Howard and Dodge in Evanston, Illinois. The video shows two agents wearing ICE-style vests standing over him. One has his face covered and his vest reads 'POLICE,' while the other appears to be pinning the man to the ground. The man is heard shouting, 'I’m a damn U.S. citizen.' According to the Evanston police, the man reported injuries to his head, neck, and teeth, and the agents requested an ambulance. The man, later identified as a resident of Evanston, was taken to a hospital where he met with an evidence technician to document his injuries and with the police chief who provided him with information about available community resources, according to a police statement. The police reported that they are continuing to investigate the incident, which was recorded by bystanders and gained attention after being posted on social media.
