A producer and editor for WGN-TV was aggressively detained and driven away by Border Patrol agents on Friday morning during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement action in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.
Debbie Brockman, who has worked for the local television station since 2011, was violently forced to the ground by two federal agents before having her hands cuffed behind her back. While she was face down on the street with the masked agents placing handcuffs on her, a local resident filming the encounter asked her name.
