flag An ICE agent shot and killed Mexican immigrant Silverio Villegas González during a pursuit in Franklin Park, sparking controversy over conflicting injury claims and calls for transparency.

flag A fatal shooting in Franklin Park, Illinois, on September 12, 2025, involving an ICE agent and Mexican immigrant Silverio Villegas González, 38, has sparked controversy after body camera footage showed the agent downplaying his injuries as minor, contradicting initial claims by the Department of Homeland Security that he suffered serious harm. flag The incident occurred during a vehicle pursuit after agents stopped Villegas González, who had no legal status and a history of reckless driving. flag Witnesses and surveillance footage suggest the agent was dragged but not seriously injured, while Villegas González, a cook and father, was shot and died at the scene. flag The shooting, part of a broader federal immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, prompted school lockdowns, protests, and calls for transparency from Illinois officials, immigrant rights advocates, and Mexico’s president. flag The Department of Homeland Security maintains the use of force was justified, but the conflicting accounts have fueled demands for a thorough investigation.
