Courts Rein In Chicago Immigration Crackdown Amid Clashes | JQJO

Chicago emerged as the focal point of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown after a turbulent day. A federal appeals court upheld a ruling temporarily blocking deployment of National Guard troops in Illinois, even as “Operation Midway Blitz” yielded more than 1,000 arrests, according to DHS. US District Judge Sara Ellis expanded a restraining order, requiring agents confronting protesters to wear body cameras and ordering ICE’s Chicago field director to appear Monday. Separately, a judge ordered a federal vehicle returned in the Marimar Martinez case, and ICE arrested a Hanover Park police officer.
