Illinois rep. Hoan Huynh says CBP agents blocked his car in Chicago, pointed guns, and intimidated him while he warned residents about immigration raids.

Illinois state representative Hoan Huynh said six armed Customs and Border Patrol agents blocked his vehicle in Chicago’s Albany Park neighborhood on October 22, 2025, while he was warning residents about possible immigration enforcement activity. Huynh, a Vietnamese refugee and Democratic candidate, claimed agents surrounded his car, pointed a gun into the passenger window, and used intimidation tactics, including threatening to break the window. He shared video showing masked agents in tactical gear, one filming occupants. The incident occurred amid heightened federal immigration operations, including a separate detention at a nearby school, prompting concerns over federal overreach and community safety. Neither CBP nor ICE has commented.
