ICE's Operation Midway Blitz Targets Criminal Illegal Aliens in Chicago

The federal immigration enforcement operation, dubbed Operation Midway Blitz, has begun in Chicago targeting undocumented individuals, with at least three arrests reported on the Southwest Side. The city and state officials oppose the operation, emphasizing their sanctuary laws and concerns over militarized enforcement. The operation has caused community disruptions, canceled local festivals, and prompted calls for residents to report ICE activity and know their rights. The deployment of the National Guard remains uncertain, with local leaders opposing its involvement.
