• ICE begins immigration raids in Chicago — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), along with other federal agencies, initiated "enhanced targeted operations" in Chicago to enforce immigration laws. This action follows statements by the incoming "border czar" Tom Homan about reconsidering enforcement strategies. The raids aim to increase daily arrests significantly, with ICE field offices directed to meet specific quotas. The operations have caused concern among Chicago's undocumented population, estimated at 400,000, many of whom are staying home to avoid encounters with law enforcement.
• ICE conducts multi-agency immigration raids — Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted a series of coordinated raids in multiple U.S. cities, including Chicago, resulting in 956 arrests. These operations involved several law enforcement agencies and targeted individuals with criminal convictions. The raids are part of the Trump administration's broader plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. The administration has relaxed guidelines that previously restricted arrests in sensitive locations such as schools and churches. The raids have sparked legal challenges and concerns from local officials and immigrant communities.
• Trump issues executive order allowing ICE to enter schools and churches — Former President Donald Trump announced an executive order permitting ICE agents to enter school classrooms and churches to search for migrants. This order has sparked controversy and criticism, particularly from religious and educational institutions, as it raises concerns about the sanctity and safety of these spaces. The order is part of Trump's broader immigration enforcement strategy, which has faced opposition from various civil rights groups and religious leaders.
• ICE conducts immigration raids in Chicago — Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), along with other federal agencies, conducted "enhanced targeted operations" in Chicago, targeting undocumented immigrants. The raids, which began shortly after Donald Trump took office, have caused significant fear among residents, leading to decreased school attendance and increased legal aid efforts. The operations have been criticized for affecting both individuals with and without criminal histories, and for lifting bans on raids in sensitive locations like schools and churches.
