Chicago demands answers from ICE
fired his weapon, wounding the second person.
But attorney Thomas Hallock said he heard a different version of events when he visited the wounded 53-year-old man at a hospital. Hallock said he was told the unarmed man heard a pounding at his door, answered it and was shot “without cause.”
“I don’t know if there was some sort of mistake,” Hallock said.
ICE declined to elaborate on the shooting Tuesday, saying its Office of Professional Responsibility will in- vestigate. A message left for a union representing ICE employees wasn’t immediately returned Tuesday.
Hallock said the man and his wife arrived from Mexico over two decades ago and are legal residents of the United States. Seven or eight people were in the home at the time of the shooting, he said.
ICE hasn’t publicly named the target of the arrest warrant, and it wasn’t clear whether that person had been detained. Hallock said he is also representing the wounded man’s adult son, who was briefly detained.
