Jan 26, 2025, 08:59 PM
The Trump administration has launched an intensified immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, involving multiple federal agencies. Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove and 'border czar' Tom Homan were in the city to oversee the operation, which began on Sunday. The operation includes agencies such as the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service, and Customs and Border Protection, and is part of a broader effort to increase arrests nationwide. The enforcement targets public safety and national security threats, with ICE confirming the start of 'enhanced targeted operations' in Chicago on Sunday. Few details about the operation, including the number of arrests, have been made public. The operation has sparked fear among Chicago's immigrant communities, especially following recent executive orders aimed at restricting immigration and targeting sanctuary cities like Chicago.
