Federal authorities plan to increase immigration raids in sanctuary cities, with Chicago potentially next. President Trump's border advisor, Tom Homan, mentioned using a naval base near Chicago as a hub for operations. Thousands of immigration arrests have already occurred in Los Angeles since June, leading to legal challenges. While the number of arrests declined in July following a temporary restraining order, raids continue, targeting locations like Home Depot stores. Chicago's mayor disputes Trump's claims of rising crime, citing a recent drop in crime statistics.
