=== [[Incident:2025-10-31 Evanston IL Assault by Federal Agents]] ===

[[File:DonahueEvanston.jpg|thumb]]

On October 31, 2025, federal immigration agents were involved in a confrontation in Evanston, Illinois following a vehicle crash involving a marked Border Patrol vehicle. Video footage from the scene shows agents drawing firearms on bystanders and using force against a handcuffed individual.

Line 25:

Line 26:

The incident has been widely circulated online and cited by civil rights advocates and accountability projects as an example of aggressive interior enforcement tactics by federal immigration authorities.

~~== Public Activity and Media Presence ==~~

~~=== Investigative Journalism ===~~

Donahue has been named in investigative reporting that relied on public records, crash documentation, and cross-referencing of video evidence from the Evanston incident. The reporting focuses on agent identification, conduct during the incident, and broader questions of oversight and accountability.

~~=== Online Activity ===~~

Separate investigative reporting has linked Donahue to an identifiable online presence allegedly associated with racist, sexist, and anti-LGBT rhetoric. These findings have been cited as part of wider concerns regarding vetting and monitoring of federal immigration enforcement personnel. No public statement from CBP or DHS confirming disciplinary action has been released.
