Illinois State Representative Hoan Huynh says on October 21, 2025, he was surrounded by six armed federal agents in Chicago’s Albany Park neighborhood after he tried to warn his community about a possible ICE raid. What happened next has sparked anger, fear, and a new debate over the use of force and the rights of public officials in immigrant communities.

In this episode, we break down the confrontation, the government’s explanation, and the broader question: Was this law enforcement or intimidation?
