Following the criticism that President Trump received earlier this month in Washington, DC, Illinois Governor J.B.
Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, both of whom are Democrats, have voiced their opposition to President Trump’s intention to bring the National Guard inside Chicago’s city limits.
It is possible that the operation in Chicago will involve as many as two hundred personnel from the Department of Homeland Security, armored vehicles, and the utilization of a naval installation located somewhere outside of the city as a staging place.
The Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not provide a clear response to the request for comment that USA TODAY made regarding an operation that was going to take place in Chicago. A statement was released by both parties, expressing their overall support for Trump’s immigration crackdown. Reports say ICE will launch big Chicago operations next week
