Trump's promised immigration crackdown in Chicago could last about six weeks, suburban official says

The operation will deploy hundreds of agents and National Guard troops for about 45 days, prompting legal challenges and widespread community protests in response to increased immigration enforcement.

  • President Donald Trump has targeted Chicago and other Democrat-led cities for expanded federal intervention, promising to deploy National Guard troops and increase immigration enforcement.
  • Some Chicago suburbs have issued reminders of Illinois' sanctuary laws that bar local police from cooperating with federal immigration agents, while others have expressed anxiety and uncertainty about the planned operation.
  • Activists, church groups, and schools in Chicago have been preparing for the immigration crackdown, during which the Department of Homeland Security intends to use a naval station north of the city for logistical support.
