Recent court records have revealed that a significant immigration raid conducted in a South Shore apartment complex was primarily focused on addressing squatters rather than targeting Venezuelan gangs. Consent for the raid was reportedly provided by building operators and the landlord, who is now facing allegations of discrimination, prompting an investigation by the Illinois Department of Human Rights. The raid, described by some as military-style, has drawn scrutiny regarding the role of ICE agents, who were also reported to be present at polling stations during that time. ProPublica has been actively investigating the circumstances surrounding this midnight immigration operation.
