A Chicago suburb has warned its residents that federal immigration agents may be present in the coming days as Donald Trump continues to threaten an immigration enforcement crackdown and national guard deployment in the nation\u2019s third largest city.<\/p>\n
The city of Evanston issued a statement<\/a> urging its residents to report sightings of federal agents, after local officials said they were informed over the weekend about the likelihood of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) activity.<\/p>\n Evanston\u2019s mayor, Daniel Biss, told the local outlet Evanston Now that he received information from the governor\u2019s office suggesting the likelihood Ice agents would be deployed there \u201cin the coming days\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cIn Evanston, we welcome our immigrant and refugee neighbors and protect each other,\u201d the statement read. \u201cWe will do all we can to safeguard our community and keep Evanston families together.\u201d<\/p>\n Within hours of the statement, Trump repeated his desire to send federal enforcement and national guard troops to \u201cstraighten\u201d Chicago out.<\/p>\n \u201cYou try and reason with people, like in Chicago, with the governor there, you try and reason with them, and it\u2019s like you\u2019re talking to a wall,\u201d the president said during remarks at the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC.<\/p>\n Furthermore, a social media post from the Trump-led Department of Homeland Security said<\/a> the agency was \u201claunching Operation Midway Blitz\u201d in honor of an Illinois woman who authorities say was killed in January by a Guatemalan national who was in the US without permission.<\/p>\n The suspect in the case was identified as 29-year-old Julio Cucul Bol, and authorities say he was drunk-driving.<\/p>\n Invoking a term that historically has been associated with the intense, sudden military attacks waged by the Nazis during the second world war, Monday\u2019s DHS post claimed the operation in Abraham\u2019s name would target those who \u201cflocked\u201d to Chicago knowing it limits local law enforcement cooperation with Ice. The post also contained a tribute video to Abraham, who was killed in the crash alongside a 21-year-old woman named Chloe Polzin.<\/p>\n Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson released a statement on Monday afternoon responding to the DHS announcement on X.<\/p>\n \u201cThe city of Chicago received no notice of any enhanced immigration action by the Trump administration. We remain opposed to any potential militarized immigration enforcement without due process because of Ice\u2019s track record of detaining and deporting American citizens and violating the human rights of hundreds of detainees,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n On Wednesday last week, the Chicago Sun-Times<\/a> reported that an advance team of at least 30 agents was undergoing crowd-control and flash-grenade training at Naval Station Great Lakes, north of Chicago. And 230 agents, most of whom work for Customs and Border Protection, were being sent to Chicago from Los Angeles, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, at a news conference last week, the Illinois governor, JB Pritzker, expressed concern that Ice agents would target Mexican Independence Day events in the middle of September. The El Grito Chicago Mexican Independence Day festival was postponed<\/a> due to concerns about Ice operations.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s deployment of military troops to Los Angeles in July was deemed illegal in a ruling by a federal judge in California. And his federalization of Washington DC\u2019s police department in August was unprecedented.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, the Republican president has turned his focus to other major Democratic-led cities, threatening federal intervention over what he has purported is a \u201cnational crime emergency\u201d.<\/p>\n Despite falling crime rates nationwide, Trump has insisted his priority is \u201ccleaning up cities\u201d with a focus on violent crime and homelessness. And he has repeatedly suggested he next wants to deploy the national guard to Chicago \u2013 where, like in Washington DC, violent crime is at its lowest in decades.<\/p>\n Calling Chicago a \u201chellhole\u201d, Trump has boasted: \u201cWe\u2019re going in. I didn\u2019t say when, [but] we\u2019re going in.\u201d<\/p>\n Trump has verbally attacked Pritzker, opining that the Illinois governor has been reckless for not asking for the president\u2019s help.<\/p>\n Earlier on his Truth Social platform, Trump insisted that he wants to \u201chelp the people of Chicago, not hurt them\u201d.<\/p>\n The post derided Democratic leaders in Chicago and Illinois, saying \u201cthe city and state have not been able to do the job\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople of Illinois should band together and DEMAND PROTECTION,\u201d Trump\u2019s post continued. \u201cIT IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE!!! ACT NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!\u201d<\/p>\n Shrai Popat contributed reporting<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Chicago suburb has warned its residents that federal immigration agents may be present in the coming days as Donald Trump continues to threaten an immigration enforcement crackdown and national guard deployment in the nation\u2019s third largest city.
