The #Trump admin said on Monday that it had begun a crackdown on illegal #immigration in #Chicago, though local officials & advocates for immigrants around the city said they had seen only a handful of arrests so far.

The #DHS issued a news release announcing the operation, which it called Operation Midway Blitz, & said it would target undocumented immigrants who had criminal records.

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.

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 #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.”

The other kind, #Title32, is a #federal - #state status where #troops are controlled by their state #governor but federally funded. It also allows more latitude to participate in law enforcement missions. #NationalGuard troops from other states arrived in DC under such circumstances during racial justice #protests in 2020.
