3:30 PM PT -- Police raided the home of the 2 men who cops picked up at the O'Hare Airport Wednesday night ... this according to WBBM TV reporter Charlie De Mar, who says he spoke to the family of the 2 men. Both men are Nigerian and were extras on "Empire." Based on what the cops have already said, it appears these are the same men who were captured on the surveillance video.
According to the report, police seized 5 bottles of bleach, a red hat, 2 laptops and other items.
The family said the 2 men left for Nigeria the day of the alleged attack. This is consistent with what law enforcement sources previously told TMZ ... that the men left for Nigeria and returned Wednesday night, and the police tracked their travels and were waiting for them when they landed in Chicago.
By the way ... when we broke the story about the various details of the alleged attack, our Jussie sources said the actor identified the 2 men as white. We do not know the skin color of the 2 men from Nigeria.
Important to note ... the red hat may be a red herring, because Jussie never said the men were wearing MAGA hats ... rather, he says they screamed "MAGA country."
2:50 PM PT -- Chicago PD has confirmed ... the 2 men taken in for questioning are the same men in the surveillance video screen grab. The PD confirms transportation records, along with interviews with Jussie and other witnesses, led to the ID of the 2 men.
black?.....are you sure?
Yea , but in the home of the only 2 guys outside in -20 degree weather within a half mile of the alleged attack in a video......Occam’s razor.
When was the last time you and a random co-worker happened to be wandering around your neighborhood the same time at 2am in -20 degree weather?
Yet another entry on the literal fake hate crimes list.

If there was such a culture of racist hatred, there would be no need to fake any such attacks.
Has a lab even verified that bleach residue was found on any of the clothing he was wearing at the time of the so-called attack?
Unknown.....................
I have some in my laundry room. Should I expect a raid?
****************************************************
Have the cops tracked your whereabouts during the time the alleged attack occurred and found that electronic and other records place you at the Chicago location of the attack? Were you communicating with the poor victim via smart phone at times closely bracketing the time of the attack? Do you see non-garbage men taking your trash away when you put it out?
If so, check to see if you are being watched and followed...by possible cops and/or TMZ reporters/stringers.
Im puzzled as to why the extras were needed in this plot: its not as if he staged an actual attack for the cameras. Everything that happened could have been done my Mr. Smollett himself.
************************************************
True that ... if he had a higher IQ.
A source familiar with the records provided by the Empire star states that Smollett downloaded his phone activity into a spreadsheet and then deleted certain phone calls before handing over the records. He did the [detectives] job for them because then they only had to focus on the numbers he deleted.
Yes, they ALREADY HAD HIS PHONE RECORDS..........................What a doofus!...............
He probably only needed the one, but since they are brothers he tagged along for the excitement?..................
