The Donald Trump administration is reportedly planning a large-scale crackdown on illegal immigrants in Chicago. According to a CBS News report on the 28th, sources said the large-scale crackdown, involving armored vehicles and various tactical equipment, could begin as early as the 5th of next month. The Trump administration previously conducted a crackdown in Los Angeles this spring, using armored vehicles and other equipment.<\/p>\n
It’s rumored that a similar crackdown will be conducted in Chicago. At the time, these raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sparked fierce protests not only from undocumented immigrants but also from residents, leading to violent street protests in LA. President Trump responded by deploying the National Guard and Marines to LA.<\/p>\n
At the time, it was reported that President Trump planned to deploy an ICE tactical team to Chicago as well, but this deployment never took place. CBS explained that it was unclear whether this raid was an extension of the suspended plan. However, the plan to deploy ICE tactical armored vehicles to Chicago was reportedly unrelated to President Trump’s recent plan to deploy the National Guard.<\/p>\n
On the 12th, President Trump deployed federal agents and National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., citing security concerns. He then announced plans to deploy National Guard troops to major cities controlled by Democratic mayors, including Chicago, New York, and Baltimore, drawing backlash from Democrats. Large-scale immigration raids targeting sanctuary cities for security reasons were anticipated.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, New York City Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Jessica Tisch met with Attorney General Pam Bondi on the 25th and made it clear that there was no need to deploy the National Guard to New York City. Prior to this, New York Governor Kathy Hokule also called President Trump and conveyed her position that there was no need to deploy the National Guard to New York City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
