The operation, involving agencies such as ICE and Customs and Border Protection, could begin around September 5 and last about 30 days. This initiative aims to strengthen federal immigration enforcement in Chicago,a city with a large immigrant population and strong local policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration authorities.The administration has also requested the use of the Naval Station Great Lakes to support the effort.Illinois officials, including Governor JB Pritzker, have expressed opposition, criticizing the federal actions and defending local residents. The operation focuses solely on immigration enforcement,unlike broader federal law enforcement efforts seen elsewhere,and is likely to face political resistance from Democratic leaders in the region.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump&rsquo;s administration plans to surge officers to Chicago for an immigration crackdown in its latest move to expand the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-officials-blast-sanctuary-city-mayors-after-cbp-officer-shot\/\" title=\"Trump ...s blast sanctuary city mayors after CBP officer shot\">federal law enforcement presence<\/a> in major Democratic-run cities, according to two U.S. officials.<\/p>\n<p>The operation in the country&rsquo;s third-largest city is expected to last about 30 days and could start as early as Sept. 5, a Department of Homeland Security official told the Associated Press on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Another U.S. official said the timing for what could be a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >sustained immigration enforcement effort resembling<\/a> this summer&rsquo;s operations in Los Angeles is awaiting final approval.<\/p>\n<p>Both officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss plans that had not been made public.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/armed-chicago-area-mom-refuses-become-statistic-takes-matters-hands-home-invasion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chicago<\/a> is home to a large immigrant population, and both the city and the state of Illinois have some of the country&rsquo;s strongest rules against cooperating with federal government immigration enforcement efforts.
