37 people arrested and American kids separated from parents after ICE raid at Chicago apartments

On September 30, 2025, federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Border Patrol, the FBI and ATF raided 7500 S. South Shore Drive, arresting 37 people.
As part of Operation Midway Blitz, federal officials said the South Shore building was targeted due to Tren de Aragua activity and sought six high-priority targets linked to drug and weapons crimes.
Neighbors described flashbangs and helicopters as agents in military-style gear burst through doors, four children taken into custody, and Rodrick Johnson zip-tied outside for nearly three hours.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker blasted the raid, saying `This is not about fighting crime or about public safety` Monday, while warning of plans to deploy 100 National Guard members to assist ICE.
In recent weeks, Operation Midway Blitz has led to more than 800 arrests in Chicago, DHS says it is gathering information while ICE data shows 72% had no criminal records, and CNN reports over 100 U.S. citizen children affected this year.
