Chicago is bracing for a significant immigration enforcement operation as federal agents, including ICE and National Guard personnel, prepare to deploy from the Naval Station Great Lakes. Up to 250 federal agents are expected to operate in the city over the coming weeks, leading to widespread protests and fears among local immigrant communities. Demonstrations against the crackdown have already begun, with protesters rallying outside ICE facilities in suburban areas like Broadview. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and local officials are urging peaceful protests while emphasizing the rights of immigrants during this tumultuous time. Community leaders are providing resources to help residents understand their rights as they brace for potential ICE raids, which could last approximately six weeks. Meanwhile, suburban officials are warning about the impact of these operations as they unfold across the region.
