Chicago sees unrest from immigration crackdown
The city of Chicago has seen unrest since President Trump sent federal agents to help with an immigration crackdown.
Last week, 300 federal agents and officers raided an apartment building in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood, where DHS said 37 people had been taken into custody. Among those detained were two suspected members of the Tren de Aragua prison gang, officials said.
Federal agents have been accused of using tear gas, pepper spray and rubber bullets on crowds gathering outside the facility some of which have struck protesters, bystanders and journalists.
According to affiliate WGN-TV, hundreds of Illinois National Guard troops reported for duty in the Chicago area Tuesday morning, and members of the Texas National Guard will join them for what the Trump administration is calling a “federal protective mission.”
More than 1,000 immigrants have been arrested since the crackdown started last month.
