Recent data reveals that a significant portion of immigrants arrested during federal enforcement operations in Chicago, particularly during Operation Midway Blitz, had no prior criminal records. Nearly 1,900 individuals were detained in the early months of the operation, prompting reactions from local residents, including moving to mark spots where neighbors were taken by ICE. State officials, including Illinois State Senator Graciela Guzmán, have criticized the tactics being used, underscoring a disconnect between the intended targets and those affected by the raids. Despite promises from federal authorities to focus on serious criminals, the aftermath has left many immigrants in Chicago with a sense of trauma and uncertainty as the community copes with the impact of these enforcement actions.
