A considerable law enforcement operation could soon be underway in Chicago, a city notorious for its crime rates, with the prime objective of locating and arresting unauthorized immigrants. This operation might even involve the mobilization of National Guard soldiers. Authorities have verified reports that announce preparations being made by President Donald Trump’s administration for a sweeping crackdown on immigration, which could possibly be initiated just days from now. Insight on these plans has been credited to sources who are well-acquainted with the proposed arrangements.
The Trump administration, over time, has repeatedly expressed its dissatisfaction with Chicago’s policy of restraining interaction between local law enforcement and federal immigration agencies. Chicago’s countless struggles can be traced back to the influx of millions of unauthorized immigrants into the city under the administration of Joe Biden, whose open-border policies are perceived by many as the root cause.
Chicago became a popular destination for immigrants when authorities in Texas, overwhelmed by ceaseless surges of border crossings, redirected them northward. The Trump administration has previously targeted the city, filing a lawsuit against its ‘sanctuary’ policy that seemingly buffers unauthorized immigrants from federal law.
Pending operation plans indicate expanded roles for multiple federal departments encompassing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, and potentially other agencies. Credible reports imply that armored vehicles are already en route to Chicago, preparing for the impending crackdown.
This extensive immigration enforcement blueprint has already been enforced in Los Angeles effectively. There, authorities focused on specific areas known for high concentrations of unauthorized immigrants, making approximately 5,000 arrests.
White House border chief, Tom Homan, has stated that the current operation plans for Chicago are in the process of being finalized; however, details remain undisclosed. Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff, refrained from delving into specifics while still stressing the strategic importance of focusing enforcement efforts on ‘sanctuary’ jurisdictions for national security and public safety.
This planned Chicago operation is seen as part of the Trump administration’s wider strategy against sanctuary locales. While not revealing the specifics, Miller hinted, ‘I anticipate Chicago would be our immediate focus, followed by New York.’
Further details have emerged citing proposed plans to utilize a proximate Navy base as a base of operations for the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agencies. Despite discussions, the decision to deploy the National Guard is still pending.
