A startling video has emerged showing Border Patrol agents forcibly removing a 67-year-old man from his vehicle and restraining him on the ground during an immigration operation at a children’s Halloween parade in Chicago, various reports reveal.

The incident unfolded as the man, returning home from a lengthy morning run, encountered a roadblock established by Border Patrol agents in the Old Irving Park area of the city. The running group he belongs to, DWRunning Racing Team, shared details of the event on social media, explaining the man’s surprise upon finding his route obstructed.

Identified by the club as a U.S. citizen, the man was reportedly pulled from his car and forced to the pavement after agents allegedly threatened to shatter his window if he did not comply by moving his vehicle, according to the team’s post.

Footage uploaded by the running club shows the unnamed runner on the ground, struggling to speak as he gasps, “I’ll move my … get off of me,” while agents restrain him by kneeling on his back to apply handcuffs.

Bystanders, visibly distressed, shouted at the agents, demanding, “Get off of him,” and expressing concern over his safety by yelling, “You’re f—-ing suffocating him!” as they recorded the confrontation.

The man suffered six broken ribs, which caused internal bleeding during the detainment, the club claimed.

The arrest came as Border Patrol agents converged in the neighborhood to conduct an immigration enforcement raid. Residents claimed the officers interrupted a children’s Halloween parade and released tear gas without warning, ABC News reported.

Footage obtained by the outlet showed agents deploying the tear gas and cuffing several people, including US citizens, outside houses adorned with Halloween decorations, according to the outlet.

The agents “had to deploy crowd control measures” to protect themselves from a hostile crowd, Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement to ABC.

Agents were conducting an operation to arrest an illegal immigrant from Mexico “who has previously been arrested for assault,” authorities told the outlet.

“During the operations, Border Patrol agents were surrounded by a group of agitators. Federal law enforcement issued multiple lawful commands and verbal warnings, all of which were ignored,” McLaughlin said.

Two US citizens were arrested for assaulting and impeding a federal officer, Mclaughlin said.

“To safely clear the area after multiple warnings and the crowd continuing to advance on them, Border Patrol had to deploy crowd control measures,” the statement continued.

The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately answer The Post’s request for comment on the arrest of the man featured in the video.

“The outpouring of messages and support [over] the past 24 hours has been overwhelming and heartwarming. It’s given us some hope that light can shine through the dark,” the club wrote in a follow-up message.

“For those concerned about our athlete, thank you. He is doing as well as can be expected.”

DWRunning did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for additional comment.

Several violent clashes have occurred between federal agents and angry protesters since US Immigration and Customs Enforcement last month launched “Operation Midway Blitz” in the Windy City.

The initiative aims to “target the criminal illegal aliens who flocked to Chicago and Illinois because they knew Governor Pritzker and his sanctuary policies would protect them and allow them to roam free on American streets,” the department announced in an X post.
