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.
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.

… “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.
