One day all the IL-09 folks will team up and write a book on the bullshit that happened during that primary. Because my lord are there stories I haven't been able to tell

![While en route, I observed a black Dodge Durango bearing Illinois registration [censored by EPD] flag me down for assistance. The black Dodge Durango was stopped in front of an unmarked dark blue Ford Explorer, which did not display a front registration plate and had its rear emergency lights activated bearing Illinois registration [censored by EPD]. The driver of the blue Ford Explorer was wearing a face mask, plain clothing, and a vest. Both vehicles were located near Dodge Ave. and Brummel St. The dark blue Ford Explorer then left the area, traveling N/B on Dodge Ave./Brummel St.
The driver of the black Dodge Durango identified himself as Esteban Rivas, who stated he was a supervisor with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Mr. Rivas stated he had been involved in an incident that occurred near 1727 Howard St., Evanston, IL.
Mr. Rivas and I exited our vehicles, at which time he provided me with a statement regarding the incident.
Mr. Rivas stated he had initiated an investigatory stop on male subject, whom he showed me in a photograph on his cellular phone. Mr. Rivas stated the subject matched the description of a fugitive he was attempting to locate. Mr. Rivas stated he made contact with the subject, who was later identified as [censored by EPD] and attempted to identify him.
Mr. Rivas stated [censored by EPD] refused to identify himself. Mr. Rivas stated he then placed [censored by EPD] into custody and intended to transport him for "printing." Mr. Rivas stated that [censored by EPD] began to resist, and Mr. Rivas subsequently realized he had detained the wrong individual. Mr. Rivas stated he then removed the handcuffs from [censored by EPD] and left the scene
I observed a cut on Mr. Rivas's hand with blood coming from the wound. Mr. Rivas refused medical attention.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nq4bzx4cjci66z7532r7y3zm/bafkreiexxgcx6y3r2n6t7zulpkwkps6r6zqend3jwrwf555qspfrv7tiym)
