Video shows woman in pajamas face down, man handcuffed in chair & kids crying.

Landlord said they called her terrified men were trying to break in—they had legal documents to live in U.S. when she signed their lease.

"There is nobody here anymore," the landlord said. "The building is almost empty after the rest of the tenants fled in fear."

Six people, mostly fathers and husbands, were detained at the ICE facility in Broadview,

"What you should be looking for is they give you a judicial warrant," said Guadalupe Rivera, a community activist running for Illinois state representative.

Rivera said if agents knock on anyone's door, they need to be asked for a warrant. She said the warrant must be signed by a judge, and have the correct date — and should not have an ICE agent's signature.

"Do not open the door," said Rivera. "You want to ask them to slide it through, like underneath the door."

Castelin said she thought her agents were police officers, since that is what their vests said.

"They say police, but they don't even know what kind of people it is," she said. "They are just terrorized right now.".........................
