A Democrat congressman has been accused of distorting the facts about the arrest of an illegal alien at a daycare facility in Chicago.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has accused Democrat Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) of lying about the circumstances of the arrest.
According to Breitbart, Quigley falsely claimed that ICE agents arrested an innocent “preschool teacher.”
However, Quigley failed to mention that the “teacher” is a foreign national who had entered the country illegally.
Quigley provoked outrage from leftists on social media by claiming that ICE stormed into the school and “abducted a preschool teacher without a warrant – in front of children.”
This morning, ICE abducted a preschool teacher without a warrant — in front of children.

Quigley also shared a viral video of the incident showing agents dragging a woman outside of a school that teaches kids Spanish.

The short clip might lead viewers to conclude that Quigley’s account is true.
However, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warns that this is another example of Democrats omitting context to paint illegal aliens as victims.
In a post on X, the official DHS account accused Quigley of “deliberately misrepresenting” the facts.
The woman, a Colombian national who entered the U.S. illegally in 2023, had “fled inside” the school after officers attempted a targeted traffic stop, the agency said.
She was in a car with a male driver who refused to pull over when officers put on their lights and sirens.
Congressman, you are deliberately misrepresenting the facts.
ICE law enforcement did NOT target a daycare and were only at this location because the female illegal alien fled inside.
Here is the real story:
Officers attempted to conduct a targeted traffic stop of this female… https://t.co/a5BdcbhnwC

Video of the incident shows a silver car parked illegally in front of the school, seemingly backing up ICE’s account.
The school was not targeted, DHS emphasized, and the arrest took place inside an entryway, not the school itself.
Upon arrest, the woman “lied about her identity” and claimed she did not know the male driver of the vehicle, which was registered in her name.
She said she had “picked him up from a bus stop.”
“Officers attempted to pull over this vehicle, which was registered to a female illegal alien, with sirens and emergency lights, but the male driver refused to pull the vehicle over,” spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin wrote.
“Law enforcement pursued the vehicle before the assailant sped into a shopping plaza where he and the female passenger fled the vehicle,” the DHS said.
Of course, Democrats tell a different story.
They say the woman is just a teacher who is loved by the community.
That could be true, but it still would not give her the right to remain in the country illegally.
Neither does her having a work permit, as the DHS pointed out.
“Work authorization does NOT confer any type of legal status to be in the U.S.,” the agency said.
“The illegal alien’s work authorization was approved by the Biden administration, which exploited this loophole to help facilitate the invasion of our country.”
The DHS also accused the woman of endangering children, saying she encouraged her two teenage kids to cross the Southern Border unaccompanied, and smugglers may have been involved.
Quigley responded to the DHS’s account by simply writing, “They’re lying.”
He did not elaborate or provide any evidence.
Democrats insist that Trump’s immigration crackdown has gone too far.
But if that is the case, why do Democrats need to keep lying about it?
