The Department of Homeland Security announced Monday it is launching “Operation Midway Blitz,” which it described as a targeted effort to increase federal immigration enforcement operations in Chicago.
“This ICE operation will target the criminal illegal aliens who flocked to Chicago and Illinois because they knew Governor Pritzker and his sanctuary policies would protect them and allow them to roam free on American streets,” DHS wrote on X.
The move comes hours after the Supreme Court removed a temporary restraining order, allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the Los Angeles area to conduct raids based solely on ethnicity or the fact that people may be speaking in Spanish.
