Trump Officials, Federal Agents Conduct Immigration Raids in Chicago

Federal officials, including key Trump administration figures like Tom Homan and Emil Bove, launched enhanced immigration enforcement operations in Chicago, reflecting President Trump's ongoing mass deportation agenda. On Sunday alone, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported 956 arrests nationwide, with 286 made the previous day, significantly exceeding the average of 311 daily arrests from the previous fiscal year. The operation involved a coordinated effort from multiple federal agencies, including the FBI and the DEA, following the Department of Homeland Security's recent expansion of immigration enforcement authority. While specifics about the Chicago arrests remain unclear, it was noted that some individuals apprehended had serious criminal convictions. Dr. Phil McGraw observed and livestreamed the operation, which underscores the administration's commitment to aggressive immigration enforcement measures. Officials emphasized their determination to address any obstacles to their operations and to ensure public safety.
