Dramatic footage captured outside a Walgreens on Chicago’s East Side shows multiple federal Border Patrol agents tackling a 19-year-old identified as Warren King to the ground. The video, recorded by Jose Aguilar, quickly circulated online and drew widespread attention.

“I’m a US citizen!” the teen can be heard shouting as agents restrained him. According to ABC7 Chicago, the incident occurred during a search for an alleged illegal immigrant involved in a car crash with federal agents earlier in the day.

Authorities confirmed that King was not the target of the operation, and the encounter is under review as questions arise about the tactics used by federal agents in urban settings. Local residents expressed shock at the confrontation, describing it as intimidating and chaotic, especially given the public location.

The incident has sparked a broader debate about federal enforcement practices in U.S. cities, and whether operations like these properly account for citizens’ rights and public safety.
