Addison, IL – The Addison Police Department issued a statement Friday morning addressing growing public concern after residents spotted what appeared to be federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents near Village Hall and the police station.
According to the department’s Facebook post, multiple federal agents and vehicles were seen in recent days parked in public and semi-public lots between the Library and Village buildings. Police confirmed that while agents were visible in the area, they were not working with local law enforcement.
“Agents showed up unannounced, did not ask for any assistance, and we did not provide any,” the department said. “They have no access to our facilities and limit themselves to public or police parking property.”
The department emphasized it has not received any communication from ICE or Border Patrol regarding their intent or presence in Addison. Officials stated they typically learn of such federal operations at the same time as the public.
The message follows a surge of questions from residents concerned about potential local cooperation with immigration enforcement. Addison Police reiterated that they are not involved in immigration activities and encouraged residents to contact the department directly with further questions.
