Trump Administration's Chicago Immigration Operation Targets Criminal Aliens, Overseen by Bove and Homan
Jan 26, 2025, 07:27 PM
The Trump administration has launched an immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, involving multiple federal agencies including the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service, and ICE. Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove and Border Czar Tom Homan are in Chicago to oversee the operation, which aims to enforce U.S. immigration laws and enhance public safety and national security by targeting potentially dangerous criminal aliens. The operation began on Sunday, with few details released about the number of arrests or specific locations. This action follows President Donald Trump's promise to ramp up deportations and arrests of illegal immigrants, amidst tensions with sanctuary cities like Chicago, which has strong sanctuary protections. TV personality Dr. Phil is embedded with the operation, focusing on 270 high-value targets. The operation is part of a response to what the administration describes as a 'national emergency' caused by previous immigration policies.
