The statement sought by CBS News and provided by the Department of Homeland Security completely undermined the report on a Chicago ICE arrest that ran on the Evening News. But the network ran the report nonetheless, burying the DHS’s statement at the end of the report.
Here is that report in its entirety, as aired on the CBS Evening News on Wednesday, November 5th, 2025:
MAURICE DuBOIS: There is outrage in Chicago tonight following a federal immigration arrest at a day care center.
JOHN DICKERSON: While witnesses say it was a chaotic scene, officials say the day care was not the primary target. Ash-har Quraishi has the story.
ASH-HAR QURAISHI: This video captured the moment ICE agents dragged a pre-K teacher out of a day care center on Chicago's North Side. She can be seen pleading with the agents as she is pushed up against a waiting sedan. At one point, she shouts in Spanish, "I have papers."
MIKE QUIGLEY: ICE agents followed a teacher into the facility without a warrant and abducted her in front of her students. This woman is a trusted, loved member of her community. With a work permit.
QURAISHI: Officials identified the woman as Diana Galeano, a Colombian national in the country since 2023 and seeking asylum. Children, teachers, and parents inside of the time of the arrest said they were traumatized by what they saw.
MARIA GUZMAN: What has happened today is domestic terrorism, and it is absurd and horrific that they have now targeted our day care centers.
QURAISHI: Until recently, sensitive areas like schools and hospitals were generally off-limits to immigration enforcement. That changed under the second Trump administration. Today's incident the latest in a string of controversial arrests that have been happening across Chicago, as part of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
In a statement to CBS news, the Department of Homeland Security denied targeting the day care center and said Galeano sped away from ICE agents in a car and then fled on foot into the day care center, where she was arrested.
DuBOIS: Ash-Har Qureishi in Chicago. Thank you.
