On Tuesday, May 26th, a black Ford Explorer that has participated in recent immigration abductions was involved in a minor crash with a civilian vehicle on the Dan Ryan Expressway. Rapid responders do not believe that the crash was related to immigration enforcement. The agency vehicle and the civilian stayed on the side of the highway near the 71st Street exit for about an hour until Illinois State Police arrived to process the crash. The damaged Explorer left the scene at 11:20AM, traveling west on 71st to an unknown destination.
