BROADVIEW, Ill. (WGN) — A man is recovering after he says an alleged U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicle struck him near its processing facility in west suburban Broadview.
Now released from the hospital, Daniel Shouse spoke with WGN-TV about the moment captured on video, which he says occurred Wednesday night as protesters clashed with federal agents amid ongoing tension over Operation: Midway Blitz.

“He had hopped up over the curb, ran right into me, and that’s where you see I was thrown right on the side of the road. And he took off back there, which leads back to the ICE facility,” said Shouse, describing video obtained by WGN-TV.
Shouse said he is enraged by the close call.
“I’m pissed. How is this allowed, and is there nothing we can do about it? There’s no accountability,” Shouse said. “The officers came up to me at the hospital and asked if I’d be able to point the person out in a lineup. How can I do that when they all wear masks? They have no name tags. They have nothing. There were three of them in the vehicle. That’s the only thing I could tell officers when it happened.”…
