Carpentersville, IL – Federal immigration agents were seen outside Village Hall for roughly 30 minutes Wednesday afternoon, prompting clarification from local officials.
According to a statement from the Village of Carpentersville Public Safety Department, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrived around 12:20 p.m. and parked in public spaces outside Village Hall. Officials said the agents did not contact the Village before or during their visit but appeared to escort what looked like detainees to use the public restroom.
Several vehicles reportedly remained parked nearby during the brief encounter. The post emphasized that the Village and its Police Department were not involved in the federal operation and do not receive advance notice of ICE enforcement actions.
The statement was shared on social media to address public concern after residents noticed the agents’ presence near a government building. No arrests or incidents involving local law enforcement were reported.
Community members are encouraged to contact the Village for any additional clarification about public safety or federal activity coordination.
