Illinois Governor Criticizes Trump as ICE Increases Chicago Patrols

The Trump administration is intensifying Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Chicago, aiming to target the most dangerous criminals residing in the country illegally. This ramp-up in ICE activity has sparked protests among local leaders and community members, with Illinois' governor openly criticizing President Trump's policies on immigration enforcement. In response to concerns about security and privacy, a security fence is being constructed around the federal courthouse in Rockford to enhance protection. These developments highlight ongoing tensions between federal immigration enforcement efforts and local resistance in Illinois.
