ICE launches operation in Chicago despite objections from mayor and Illinois governor
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is launching an operation in Chicago targeting undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes, the Department of Homeland Security announced Monday — a decision long rumored and opposed by local officials.
DHS said the ICE effort is called “Operation Midway Blitz" and blamed so-called sanctuary policies in Chicago and Illinois. The DHS announcement didn’t mention using the National Guard, which President Donald Trump has publicly talked about.
