Incident in Chicago Neighborhood Ahead of Halloween Parade
On October 25, 2025, federal immigration agents from Border Patrol released tear gas in Old Irving Park, a Chicago neighborhood, just minutes before the annual Halloween parade was set to begin.

Some claims stated that ICE "tear gassed children," however, it was unclear how close any children were to the tear gas deployment.
- The incident occurred on the same day as the scheduled Halloween parade in Old Irving Park.
- DHS head Kristi Noem denied a request from Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker to pause ICE raids for Halloween.
