Masked federal agents patrol downtown Chicago
Federal immigration agents patrolled downtown Chicago on Sunday as the Trump administration ramps up immigration crackdowns in major cities across the country.
The Border Patrol agents spotted downtown were armed, masked and camouflaged, according to NewsNation, The Hill’s sister network.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said hundreds of ICE officers were downtown as part of its “Midway Blitz” operation in Chicago, which began on Sept. 8, NewsNation reported.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that agents made multiple arrests downtown, including in the River North neighborhood Sunday morning.
The Department of Homeland Security said in a post on the social platform X that 11 people were arrested outside an ICE detention facility in Broadview, Ill., on Saturday amid a large protest at the center.
