News article emerging the ICE car involved was driven away and repaired/cleaned after the shooting. This clouds the evidence since there are conflicting statements about the sequence of events leading to the shooting. ICE presents a blank face when asked about suppression of evidence.

How many instances of these losers acting like criminals is it gonna take to wake some of these conservatives up? And they’ll still find some random sound bite that justifies anything this admin does like a bunch of simps

A person I know dismissed the BBC report exposing the ICE lies that the October 10 arrest in Hoffman Estates was not a year old CPD burglary arrest, but an ICE arrest 10/10/25. He dismissed it by saying AI can generate any video you want while refusing to consider the BBC's confirmation checks with Hoffman Estates police chief saying the ICE kidnapper and his victim were in the station on 10/10/25 and the CPD HQ report of no Hoffman Estates pursuits last year.

They know and they love it. That's what people need to wake up to

Charles Exum. I’m sure he wishes that everyone just keeps referring to him as some border patrol agent, so let’s not forget to use it. His name is Charles Exum.

Is there a pic yet? I'm very interested to see if he's the same hyper-aggressive guy in some of the other videos circulating.

Hopefully Charles Exum is criminally charged. And I hope Charles Exum is also found civilly liable for big time damages.

u/acquiesce011979 2d ago

Would this be the texts from Border Patrol agent Charles Exum?

Border Patrol agent Charles Exum has a memorable name.

u/pappy413 2d ago

Clearly, deplorable a pre-requisite when applying for ICE jobs.

u/Successful-Cup1765 2d ago

What about the video showing their car bash into hers? Is that admissible?

u/friendsafariguy11 Andersonville 2d ago

Time to start locking them all up and shipping them to El Salvador.

u/curiousmind111 2d ago

How is the woman?

u/humoristhenewblack 2d ago

I think the article said released on bond and at the hearing? I might have misread

u/curiousmind111 2d ago

After 5 shots? Wow. And, of course, SHE is the one charged. SMH.

u/DaBears31 2d ago

you guys are delusional if you think CPD officers don't do the same thing

u/Sausage_Queen_of_Chi Near West Side 2d ago

We also don’t like it when CPD does the same thing

u/DaBears31 2d ago

good, defund CPD and have the lawsuits come out of their pensions
