Donald Trump’s government launched an immigration repression operation in Chicago on Sunday (26), according to several sources. The lawsuit allows several federal agencies that have received permits attach illegal immigrants, according to the sources.
This is part of a broader effort to assist the immigration and customs service (ICE), which has limited resources and agents, while the government tries to increase the number of arrests across the country.
ICE agents are expected to join authorities from various Justice Department agencies to combat what would be threats to public and national security. It is a several day operation that will extend throughout the country.
In a statement, ICE confirmed that “improved targeted operations” in Chicago began on Sunday.
“US immigration and customs service, along with federal partners, including the FBI, alcohol office, tobacco, firearms and explosives, administration of drug repression, customs customs and border protection and the delegates service of US, they began conducting improved targeted operations today in Chicago to apply the US immigration law and preserve public and national security, keeping potentially dangerous criminals outside our communities, ”the statement says.
At the end of last week, US interim secretary of internal security Benjamine Huffman issued a directive by granting the authorities in the Justice Department authorization to “enforce the immigration law.”
“The mobilization of these police will help to fulfill President Trump’s promise to the American people of making mass deports,” Huffman said in a statement.
Tom Homan, responsible at the White House for the US border situation, said that if other illegal immigrants are found during their operation, they can also be arrested and detained.
Homan is in Chicago to supervise operations, according to one of the sources. Interim Assistant Attorney General Emil Bove was in town on Sunday to observe the operations beside him.
