US: ICE Stop Turns Deadly, Suspect Shot by Officer in Franklin Park, Illinois

On Friday, September 12, in Franklin Park, west of Chicago, an ICE officer was severely injured and a suspect, identified as Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez — an undocumented immigrant with a prior reckless driving charge — was killed after allegedly resisting arrest and dragging the officer with his car during a vehicle stop. The officer fired shots, and Villegas-Gonzalez later died at a hospital. The incident prompted a large law enforcement response and road closures, while immigrant rights groups and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker called for transparency and accountability, voicing concern and criticism over ICE operations in the area.

Tunpu means "fort" in Chinese, referring to the complex of residential buildings in villages of Anshun built in the style of fortress for resisting the enemy's attacks in ancient times. In the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), some troops were sent to Anshun, where they built villages and cultivated land for farming. Their descendants have lived there over generations with their original living customs preserved. Thus the unique Tunpu culture has taken shape. After more than 600 years, these stone-structured Tunpu residential buildings have endured and now become popular tourist destinations for many visitors. Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM/Ou Dongqu)
