Chicago Scrutiny Intensifies Over Federal Agents' Tactics | JQJO

Chicago’s deployment of federal agents amid President Trump's immigration crackdown is under scrutiny after viral clips of crashes and forceful takedowns. Former acting ICE director John Sandweg said the administration put agents trained for high‑risk border work “in a city where they don’t belong.” After tear gas was used on a South Side crowd following a federal vehicle crash, a judge ordered body cameras for agents. DHS said videos show agitators attacking law enforcement, while Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker praised the ruling and HSI’s Jerry Robinette warned of unprecedented confrontations.
