Illinois state Rep. Hoan Huynh, D-Chicago, says a federal agent pointed a gun at him last week. The government says he was interfering in immigration enforcement; he says he was warning constituents about their rights.

“We don’t have any weapons; we were only recording what they’re doing," Hyunh told The 21st Show. "And if what they’re doing is actually legal, then they should not be afraid for it to be documented.”
