… “Expanded #ICE operations” are expected to begin in #Chicago as soon as this week, with #Trump & his senior advisers leaving it ambiguous whether a #military deployment will follow. Military planning reported last month has raised the possibility of either #NationalGuard or active-duty #troops being used.
Such a mission would almost certainly be contested in court.

Judge Charles Breyer of the US District Court in San Francisco found this week that a similar operation in #LosAngeles earlier this year violated the #PosseComitatusAct, a federal #law that prohibits #US troops from participating in civilian law enforcement. The #Trump admin has appealed the ruling.

The approval, which has not previously been reported, comes after #DHS sought permission late last month for agents with #ICE & other law enforcement personnel to use the base. It also comes as Gov #JBPritzker & other top officials in #Illinois decry #Trump’s aggressive tactics, lack of coordination & characterization of #Chicago as a “hellhole” of crime requiring #federal intervention.

#Pentagon approves use of #Navy base for #Chicago#ICE operations
#Defense officials have said the installation also could be used by #military forces who are called on to assist ICE.

The #Pentagon has approved the use of a #Navy base on the outskirts of #Chicago as a staging ground from which the #Trump admin can [purportedly] launch operations against undocumented immigrants….
#NavalStationGreatLakes will serve as a hub in upcoming operations overseen by #DHS….
It could also potentially be used as a place to house #NationalGuard or active-duty #military#ServiceMembers, if #Trump orders a surge of #US #troops to the city, as he did in #LosAngeles & #WashingtonDC.
A federal judge’s scathing opinion explains why Trump’s deployment of #troops to #California was more than just an overreach.
The #Trump administration broke the #law. Its officials knew they were breaking the law. And they’ll likely try to do so again.

In its most distilled form, that’s the conclusion of Charles Breyer, the federal judge overseeing a suit brought by #California Governor Gavin Newsom over the #Trump administration’s deployment of National Guardsmen & #Marines in & around #LosAngeles in June. In a scathing opinion delivered today, Breyer said that the administration had acted illegally.

Deploying these service members “for the purpose of establishing a #military presence there & enforcing federal law,” Breyer wrote, “is a serious violation of the #PosseComitatusAct.” That #law, passed in 1878, bars the use of the military in domestic law enforcement, except as allowed by the #Constitution or by #Congress.
Breyer’s ruling makes plain how the admin worked to circumvent the law, & why.

On Saturday, #Trump commented about #Chicago crime & #Illinois Gov. #JBPritzker on his Truth Social site: “Six people were killed, & 24 people were shot, in Chicago last weekend, & JB Pritzker, the weak & pathetic Governor of Illinois, just said that he doesn’t need help in preventing CRIME. He is CRAZY!!! He better straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming! MAGA. President DJT”

Unlike the recent federal #takeover of policing in #WashingtonDC, the #Chicago operation is not expected to rely on the #NationalGuard or #military & is focused exclusively on immigration instead of being cast as part of a broad campaign against crime, the ofcls said.

The federal surge into #Chicago could start as early as Sept. 5 & last about 30 days, according to two U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss plans that had not been made public.

When asked during a news conference about federal agents who are presumably “taking orders,” Johnson replied: “Yeah, & I don’t take orders from the federal government.”
Johnson also blocked #Chicago #police from wearing face coverings to hide their identities, as most federal #ICE officers have adopted since the #Trump admin took charge this year.

The #Chicago#Police Dept will be barred from helping #federal authorities with #civil #immigration enforcement or any related patrols, traffic stops & checkpoints during the surge, acc/to an EO signed by Mayor #BrandonJohnson.
The mayor directed all city departments to guard the #ConstitutionalRights of Chicagoans“amidst the possibility of imminent militarized immigration or #NationalGuard deployment by the federal government.”

A bunch of veterans ran off #ICE at Union Station, and then educated the #NationalGuard about their right and duty to refuse illegal orders. Now there is also no National Guard presence at the station. These #veterans say they will continue their sit ins across the city until all federal forces are out of #WashingtonDC.
