Major Immigration Crackdown Preparations Underway in Chicago and Suburbs

As the Trump administration prepares for a significant immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, federal authorities are set to deploy around 300 ICE agents from Naval Station Great Lakes. The Pentagon has authorized the use of this Navy base as a hub for these operations. Suburban officials, including mayors from Broadview and North Chicago, have indicated that their communities are bracing for a large-scale crackdown, which could last approximately six weeks. Local governments are urging immigrant families to know their rights and are planning for potential protests against the ICE operations. In response to the imminent raids, Chicago has introduced new tools to support its immigrant population and has urged peaceful protests against the planned actions. Communities around Chicago are preparing for the impact of federal immigration enforcement, as fears grow among local Latino populations.
