Overview

• A mass and candlelight procession honored Silverio Villegas González at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Melrose Park as the community mourned the 38-year-old father.
• Franklin Park police body-camera video from the aftermath records an ICE agent saying he was dragged “a little bit” and that his injuries were “nothing major.”
• DHS previously said the agent was dragged and severely hurt and that the shooting occurred because the officer feared for his life, a description now under question.
• The Village of Franklin Park says the FBI’s Chicago Field Office is leading the investigation, and DHS did not provide a response to the newly released footage.
• Uncertainty persists over whether ICE agents had body cameras or a dash camera, while officials including Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Mexico’s president press for a full accounting.
