(WGN) — Just days after she was detained by Border Patrol agents on Chicago's North Side, attorneys representing the WGN creative services employee at the center of the incident have released a statement.

On Friday, Debbie Brockman was detained after Border Patrol agents said they were conducting immigration enforcement at a busy intersection in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood at the height of rush hour.

“I heard yelling and screaming and honking. I ran downstairs to see what was going on. It looked like Border Patrol agents in a minivan had slammed some lady to the ground. And so, I ran up to her and asked her for her name. She said she was a WGN employee,” Josh Thomas, a witness who lives in a condo above the scene in the city’s Lincoln Square neighborhood, told Nexstar's WGN.
