A Chicago suburb has warned its residents that federal immigration agents may be present in the coming days as the Trump administration continues to threaten a national guard deployment and an immigration enforcement crackdown in Chicago. The city of Evanston issued a statement urging residents to report sightings of federal agents after local officials were informed that there was a high likelihood of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity in the area.
Within hours of this statement, Trump repeated his desire to send federal enforcement and National Guard troops to “straighten” Chicago out. According to The Guardian, the Trump-led Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said this was “launching Operation Midway Blitz”.
