On the ground in Chicago where protesters rage against ICE
Fox News Digital spoke to protesters against ICE deportation efforts in Chicago, Illinois.
Two migrant suspects in the U.S. illegally have been charged with the murder of a 63-year-old man whose body was found tied up at his home in Chicago late Sunday, the same day U.S. border czar Tom Homan and the Justice Department led a large immigration enforcement operation in that city, sources confirmed to Fox News.
Investigators found the man, George Levin, bound with duct tape near his face and mouth in his Norwood Park home, police sources said. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office conducted an autopsy that determined Levin died of multiple injuries related to assault and the death was ruled a homicide, a spokesperson said.
Multiple Chicago police sources tell Fox News the two suspects in custody are adult migrants, one from Venezuela and the other from Ecuador. A top U.S. official tells Fox News the migrants are believed to have crossed into the United States through the Texas border in the summer of 2023.

The suspects were identified by the Chicago Police Department as Geiderwuin Bello Morales, 21; and 29-year-old Jefferson Ubilla-Delgado.
Both are charged with one count each of murder and robbery of a victim with a handicap or over 60 years-of-age. They are expected to appear in court on Saturday.

Ubilla-Delgado was arrested on Wednesday and authorities took Morales into custody on Thursday. Fox News Digital has reached out to U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE).
Sources told Fox News that Levin possibly met with the suspects on a gay dating app. They said the suspects stole items from him during their encounter, which may have been a targeted robbery attack.

One of the suspects in custody apparently had been arrested in Chicago on Jan. 12 for allegedly trying to lure children, sources said. A police report indicated the suspect was released one day later.
Levin was said to be living in the lower level of a home he shared with his sister in Norwood Park, which is considered a quieter community that lots of law enforcement and city workers traditionally have called home.
