Residents and business owners reported to the office that agents were knocking on doors and were inside of a restaurant in Pilsen, the office said.

The office has not gotten any reports of anyone being detained.

Sigcho’s office has contacted the National Immigrant Justice Center and ICIRR.

The alderman is reminding residents to know their rights.
