Documents Reveal Real Reason for Raid on Chicago Apartment Building
---

The DHS arrest records make no mention of the Tren de Aragua gang even though officials repeatedly cited its presence in the building as motivation for the raid, in which agents descended from a Blackhawk helicopter and zip-tied U.S. citizens.

The Real Story Behind the Midnight Immigration Raid on a Chicago Apartment Building

The Trump administration has claimed the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building. But new documents make no mention of the gang and reveal federal agents had information about “illegal aliens unlawfully occupying apartments.”

@ProPublica I wonder if the broke landlord got a kickback from ice in exchange for the “tip”.

"[N]ew documents confirm in the government’s own words that what prompted the raid was more pedestrian [than Tren de Aragua]: allegations that immigrants were squatting in the complex. And the landlord had given federal officials, who were already targeting immigrants in Chicago, the blessing to search the building.
