The incident unfolded Saturday in Chicago’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say federal agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade

Shocking video shows a chaotic scene on a quiet Chicago street as Border Patrol agents in tactical gear drag a 67-year-old man from his car while children in Halloween costumes look on in horror.

According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding.

The incident unfolded Saturday in the city’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say the agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade amid an immigration enforcement operation.

They know. They don't care. They believe the "our country has been flooded with violent criminal illegal aliens" bullshit so when they see people being brutalized, they immediately think, "oh well they must deserve it. I have nothing to worry about because I don't deserve it."

First they came for the illegal immigrants and I did not speak out because I was not an illegal immigrant... welcome to the poem, you're living in it and just like the poem, eventually there will be no one to speak out for you.

I do try. Unfortunately, trying is the best I've got. I'm not pretending I have a magic wand. But I'll keep trying. It's better than not trying.
