Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited Chicago amidst increased immigration enforcement under "Operation Midway Blitz." The operation, targeting undocumented immigrants, follows the death of a Chicago woman in a drunk-driving accident caused by an undocumented immigrant. Noem shared videos of arrests on X, including one from an ICE raid in Elgin, separate from a fatal shooting incident in Franklin Park involving an ICE agent. The operation has drawn criticism for its connection to sanctuary city policies.
