A disturbing incident has come to light in Illinois, where an Indian-origin employee with the state's Department of Transportation was stopped and questioned by masked agents about his immigration status and knowledge of a New York City politician. The incident has sparked outrage, with Governor JB Pritzker condemning the Trump administration's anti-immigration stance. According to a report by the Chicago Sun-Times, the employee was working on a road resurfacing project when he was approached by three masked agents who asked him about his immigration status, travel history, and familiarity with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Pritzker, who has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration's immigration policies, called the incident 'appalling' and stated that state employees should be able to work without fear of being targeted by masked agents. The Department of Homeland Security has denied allegations that its agents were involved in the interrogation, but the incident has sparked concerns about the Trump administration's immigration enforcement tactics. The incident is the latest in a series of high-profile immigration raids and protests in Illinois, which have been met with violence and resistance from some communities. Pritzker's office has expressed its support for the IDOT employee and has called for greater transparency and accountability from the Trump administration. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and immigrant communities across the United States.
