Father Faces Deportation After Police Chase | Chicago News

A U.S. citizen father of three faces deportation after a dramatic federal plea deal: Rosario Carrillo Lopez, 54, admitted to fleeing police and scraping an immigration vehicle in October, landing him a year-and-one-day prison sentence for assaulting officers. The incident erupted when agents pulled him over on Clark Road; he refused to exit, then fled — allegedly hitting their car. Days later, agents raided his Gary home, arresting him and his wife (later released, seeking a green card). The family alleges brutal treatment during the raid — including a son thrown across the porch, another punched, and the mother bitten by a police dog — and claims officers threatened to shoot him. Defense argues he fled out of fear after a dangerous officer maneuver, while prosecutors insist his actions endangered lives. Despite the judge acknowledging Carrillo Lopez’s positive character, he’ll be deported post-sentence. His family insists he’s peaceful and exemplary — but U.S. attorneys say his defiance jeopardized public safety, and law enforcement acted with discipline.
