Luis V. Gutirrez (D-IL) released a video shot by one of his Chicago staffers of a security incident that took place today in the office of the retiring Congressman in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood. A man entered the office today at about 2:00 pm CT, passed through the office lobby and into the first individual office of the Congressman's Chicago Congressional Office. The man identified himself as a precinct captain for Chicago City Councilman Ariel Reboyas (30th Ward). As two videos shot by the Congressman's staff and posted to Facebook show, the man proceeded to yell, curse, and insult the Congressman's staff, even going as far as to throw items around the office and at the Congressman's staff. The man left the office, but then came back to threaten the staff some more, as the second video shows.

Gutirrez said: This is battery, as the police report I filed with the Chicago Police Department indicatesPlease help us identify the individual who came into my office, assaulted my colleagues, cursed them and threatened us. The Congressman added later on Facebook that he had talked to the Chicago Police Department who assured him that detectives were already on the case to determine who the man is. The Congressman wrote on Facebook: This is outrageous. To assault federal workers in my office who are serving the constituents of the Fourth District is uncalled for. It is emblematic of the fact that some people feel it is OK to behave this way in politics these days. I am grateful to the Chicago Police Department for investigating this incident and bringing this thug to face charges. The Congressman is asking anyone who knows the identity of the individual to please comment on the Congressman's Facebook page, call the Congressman's Chicago office or call the Chicago Police. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
