ICE preparing to target Chicago for immigration crackdown

BPR:
The Trump administration has requested a military base near Chicago for assistance on upcoming federal immigration operations.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) asked Naval Station Great Lakes, a military installation roughly 35 miles north of Chicago, for limited logistical and infrastructure support to aid Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, according to multiple media reports. The request follows a widespread federal immigration crackdown in Washington, D.C., and pledges by the Trump administration to expand to other cities.

“President Trump has been clear: we are going to make our streets and cities safe again,” a senior DHS official stated to the Daily Caller News Foundation when asked for confirmation on the request. “Across the country, DHS law enforcement are arresting and removing the worst of worst including gang members, murderers, pedophiles, and rapists that have terrorized American communities.” more
