Chicago officials are preparing for an influx of federal law enforcement officials in their city as immigration raids could begin as soon as next week, according to reports.
The city, which President Trump has long characterized as a “killing field” overrun with crime and housing dangerous immigrants, has recently become a clear target for the deployment of federal law enforcement officials. Last week, Mr Trump said Chicago would likely be next in his “crime crackdown”. On Thursday, The New York Times reported that the administration had asked a military base outside Chicago for assistance with immigration operations in the city.
