The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Newsweek that Border Patrol was making a targeted arrest when Figueroa's vehicle blocked agents and struck an unmarked government vehicle.

Great, yet another example! Keep 'em coming!

A 15-year-old United States citizen was detained by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents on Chicago’s East Side on Tuesday afternoon and held for five hours in a federal facility garage, according to the family's attorney.

Attorneys from the firm Romanucci & Blandin said he was held for approximately five hours without being formally charged, allowed to contact his family, or granted access to legal counsel.

The teenager was restrained with zip ties and handcuffs and transported to a federal law enforcement facility not affiliated with CBP or ICE, according to the law firm. They also said his mother was not informed of his whereabouts during the detention.

Family attorneys secured the boy's release yesterday evening. No charges have been filed against the boy, the firm said.

“Here are the facts: immediately following illegal aliens ramming law enforcement with their vehicle, which resulted in the arrest of two illegal aliens from Venezuela, a violent mob began [to] surround law enforcement," the DHS spokesperson told Newsweek.

"Among them, a U.S. citizen teenager threw eggs and hit a CBP Officer in the head. Agents observed him gathering rocks after objects had already been thrown at law enforcement officers. The individual was arrested for the assault and taken to the FBI Field Office in Chicago where he freely admitted without questioning to throwing eggs at agents. His attorney met with him at the field office, and he was released without charges."
