BROADVIEW, Ill. (WGN) A man is recovering after he says a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicle struck him near its processing facility on the outskirts of Chicago.

Now released from the hospital, Daniel Shouse spoke with affiliate WGN about the moment captured on video, which he says occurred Wednesday night as protesters clashed with federal agents in suburban Broadview, Illinois, amid ongoing tension over so-called “Operation Midway Blitz.”

“He had hopped up over the curb, ran right into me, and that’s where you see I was thrown right on the side of the road. And he took off back there, which leads back to the ICE facility,” said Shouse, describing video obtained by WGN.

Shouse said he is enraged by the close call.

“I’m pissed. How is this allowed, and is there nothing we can do about it? There’s no accountability,” Shouse said. “The officers came up to me at the hospital and asked if I’d be able to point the person out in a lineup. How can I do that when they all wear masks? They have no name tags. They have nothing. There were three of them in the vehicle. That’s the only thing I could tell officers when it happened.”

The Village of Broadview’s police department stated that it is treating the incident as it would any other traffic accident. Witnesses told the department that a pickup truck struck Shouse and continued driving into the parking lot without stopping, according to police.

The video shows the tail end of the impact, as Shouse is seen carrying a flashlight and glow sticks around his neck.  

First responders with the Broadview Fire Department administered aid and transported Shouse to Loyola Hospital in stable condition. 

“They had to keep me overnight because of one of my arteries in my throat, they were worried about, because it looked weakened and looked like it was going to burst,” Shouse said.

Shouse added that he returned to the west suburban processing facility on Thursday afternoon, following his release from the hospital. His injuries remain visible.

“…My arm. I’ve got stuff on my side here. My whole leg is bruised up. I’ve got road rash on my knee. I lucked out. From what the officer was saying, they estimated the vehicle was going about 25-30 mph,” Shouse told WGN.

Broadview police said its officers requested to speak with the ICE agent who had claimed to witness the incident. The agents at the gate, however, told police they were unaware of such an agent and had no knowledge of any agent’s involvement in the incident. 

As police officers were surveying the lot for a vehicle matching the description, ICE agents began deploying pepper balls towards protesters, which affected Broadview officers. Due to the lack of visibility and no further identification of a suspect vehicle, Broadview police said they left the scene without further incident. 

“I just want to show them that you can’t silence us,” Shouse said. “It doesn’t matter what you do to us. It doesn’t matter how many times you shoot at us, or what pain you want to put on to us, we’ll be here and we’re going to keep fighting for accountability. And we want to see name tags and no masks,” Shouse said.

WGN reached out to ICE and the Department of Homeland Security for comment on the incident, but has not yet received a response. Shouse said the incident will not deter him from continuing to protest outside the facility. Shouse added, however, that he has no affiliation with any groups or organizations; he is motivated by a desire for accountability.
