An Indian-American employee of the Illinois Department of Transportation was stopped by three masked agents and questioned about his immigration status and whether he knew New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The man, a US citizen, was working on a road project when the agents approached him. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker condemned the incident, calling it racial profiling and “harassment of state employees.” The Department of Homeland Security denied the agents were from ICE or CBP. The episode sparked fear in nearby schools and concern over growing immigration raids across the Chicago area this week. (PC: India Today)
