Federal Judge ruled that the NG (I believe mostly from Texas) can be deployed to Chicago, but can’t take action here.

Three guesses who Judge April Perry was appointed by…

Shocking.

1,500 Illegal Immigrants Arrested in Major Illinois Operation, Including Criminals: DHS

Launched on Sept. 8, Operation Midway Blitz targets criminal illegal immigrants who came to Illinois, and specifically Chicago.

More than 1,500 illegal immigrants have been arrested in Illinois by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel during Operation Midway Blitz, including criminals, the agency said in an Oct. 14 post on X.
“Operation Midway Blitz is making Illinois SAFE again. DHS law enforcement has made over 1,500 arrests across Illinois, including of pedophiles, vicious gang members, and armed robbers,” DHS said.

“@POTUS Trump and @Sec Noem WILL NOT allow criminal illegal aliens to terrorize our cities.”

Launched on Sept. 8, Operation Midway Blitz targets criminal illegal immigrants who came to Illinois, and specifically Chicago, “seeking protection under the sanctuary policies of Governor Pritzker,” DHS said in an Oct. 1 statement.
Jurisdictions following sanctuary policies prohibit local officials from enforcing immigration laws and complying with federal authorities. Both Chicago, and Illinois broadly, are included in a list of such sanctuary jurisdictions maintained by the Department of Justice.

In an Oct. 3 statement, DHS said that some of the criminal illegal immigrants arrested under Operation Midway Blitz include a Mexican national convicted of aggravated domestic battery of a three-year-old child, a Mauritanian national who was previously arrested for battery against a public official, and another Mexican national arrested for criminal sexual assault and domestic battery.

“Our patriotic law enforcement officers are making these arrests despite working without pay because of the Democrats’ shutdown,” DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said.

According to McLaughlin, President Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem “will not allow continued violence or repeat offenders to terrorize our neighborhoods and victimize our children.”

On Oct. 11, DHS announced the arrest of a Chicago rioter suspected of having ties to Antifa. The individual was arrested with a loaded firearm and magazines outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE’s) Broadview facility near Chicago.
The rioter, Elias Cepeda, works as a journalist and also teaches at the University of Illinois. According to the agency, Cepeda has promoted social media posts glorifying violence against federal law enforcement officers.

In a Sept. 26 statement, DHS said that since Operation Midway Blitz began, rioters have assaulted law enforcement officers and vandalized vehicles. ICE officers have seen a 1,000 percent increase in assaults against them.

National Guard Deployment

Trump’s plan to deploy the National Guard to Chicago is facing legal challenges.
On Oct. 10, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois blocked the National Guard deployment after issuing a temporary restraining order in a case filed by the state of Illinois and the City of Chicago. The Trump administration then filed an appeal with the Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

On Oct. 11, the appeals court ruled that the administration can federalize National Guard troops in Illinois, but cannot deploy them in Chicago while the appeals process continues.

Around 500 National Guard troops from Illinois and Texas were called up by the Trump administration for deployment in the city.

Leaders from Chicago and Illinois have criticized the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts.

Last week, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed the “ICE Free Zone” executive order prohibiting federal immigration agents from using any property owned by Chicago in their ongoing operations in the city, according to an Oct. 6 statement from the mayor’s office.
“We will not tolerate ICE agents violating our residents’ constitutional rights, nor will we allow the federal government to disregard our local authority. ICE agents are detaining elected officials, tear-gassing protestors, children, and Chicago police officers, and abusing Chicago residents. We will not stand for that in our city,” Johnson said.

During a recent press conference, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker accused Trump of using the country’s service personnel as “political props and as pawns in his illegal effort to militarize our nation’s cities.”
He accused the president of attempting an “unconstitutional invasion” of the state, blaming Trump and other administration officials for bringing “militarized ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents to Chicago, causing chaos and violence in the city.”

In an Oct. 6 statement, the DHS dismissed Pritzker’s criticisms, arguing that Trump’s plan to deploy troops to Illinois was “neither unconstitutional nor an invasion.”
“President Trump has the authority under the Constitution to deploy troops, wherever they’re stationed, to defend federal facilities from attacks. Whether it’s the ICE facility in Broadview or the courthouse in Portland, we will defend federal property wherever they are under siege,” the statement said.

DHS also refuted allegations that its officers were engaged in racial profiling of targets during operations.

Such claims are “disgusting, reckless, and categorically FALSE. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is if they are illegally in the U.S.—NOT their skin color, race, or ethnicity,” the agency said.

Maybe someone should send Illinois a thank-you note along the lines of, “Hey, it was great to have so many congregated in one place. That made it so much easier than trying to find them all over the country.”

LA County Declares State Of Emergency Over ICE Raids; Will Pay Rent & Provide Legal Aid

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...nt-provide-legal-aid

Los Angeles County has declared a state of emergency over ongoing ICE raids - and will provide rent relief for tenants who have 'fallen behind as a result' of the enforcement actions targeting people living in the United States illegally.

The declaration - introduced by County Supervisors Lindsey P. Horvath and Janice Hahn, passed by as 4-1 vote, with Supervisor Kathryn Barger opposing. In addition to rent relief, it will also use taxpayer funds for legal aid and other services, ABC News reports.




The Tuesday vote allows county supervisors to mobilize resources, and request state and federal financial assistance 'to respond to the impacts of the raids and expedite contracting to address the crisis' - which we're sure will be handled as 'carefully' as Palisades fire aid. One can't help but wonder if the entire point of the declaration is to squander taxpayer funds while delegitimizing the Trump administration's deportation efforts in the court of public opinion.

"What’s happening in our communities is an emergency - and Los Angeles County is treating it like one," Horvath said in a press release. "Declaring a Local Emergency ensures that the full weight of County government is aligned to support our immigrant communities who are being targeted by federal actions."

Federal Judge Orders ICE To Take Down Security Fence At Broadview, Illinois Facility

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...ew-illinois-facility

An 8-foot security fence surrounding the Broadview, Illinois Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing facility has been removed at the order of a U.S. District Court judge.

Judge Lashonda Hunt ordered the removal of the security fence last Friday, claiming that the temporary fence was on municipal land without permission and allegedly violated local ordinances by blocking emergency vehicles.

Hunt had ruled that the fence violated safety code because the gate was 16 feet wide, rather than the 20-foot requirement adopted by the village under the International Fire Code.

The judge’s order stated: “DHS’s Beach Street gate creates a quasi-federal zone where the Village’s ability to respond to emergencies is hindered and only allows it to provide lifesaving services at the whims and fancies of the Federal Defendants.”

The timing of the removal of the fence has raised concerns that there will be one less barrier between ICE agents and protesters during this coming weekend’s large-scale “no kings day” protests scheduled across the nation.



ICE has appealed the judge’s decision, citing security concerns over the likelihood of widespread protests this weekend.

The fence was first put up in September, following violent clashes between protesters and ICE agents as well as the blocking of ICE vehicles and the slashing of tires.

Antifa activists tend to block the entrances and exits to ICE facilities, requiring officers to physically confront and arrested agitators in order to open a path for vehicles.

Contrary to the judge’s claim, the fence did not obstruct the passage of emergency vehicles like fire trucks and ambulances, which had their own separate access routes that were kept clear by the barrier.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began dismantling the fence just before the court’s midnight deadline last night.

Whether the removal of the security fence makes ICE agents easier targets for the planned “no kings day” unrest, remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration is appealing another federal judge’s decision temporarily blocking it from sending National Guard troops to Chicago to assist federal officers, including ICE personnel, in addressing violent crime there.

Hey, maybe we can get money from the Feds... to fight the Feds!



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Mexican Cartels Placing Bounties On Federal Agents, DHS Says

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...eral-agents-dhs-says

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on Oct. 14 that it has obtained “credible intelligence” that cartels in Mexico have placed bounties on U.S. law enforcement officers and officials.

Mexican cartels—which have used Chicago, along with other major U.S. cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and Atlanta, as drug distribution hubs for years—are now being confronted with targeted law enforcement operations and have put out calls to sympathetic domestic groups for acts of violence and intimidation against authorities in the United States, the DHS said.

“These criminal networks have issued explicit instructions to U.S.-based sympathetics, including street gangs in Chicago, to monitor, harass, and assassinate federal agents,” the department said.

The department noted several federal investigations, which are still active, that have uncovered intelligence showing the cartels have advertised a tiered bounty system of renumeration for various actions escalating in violence and ambition.

Intelligence gathering or doxxing of federal agents, including taking photos and gathering information about their families, could receive a payout of $2,000, and kidnapping or non-lethal assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents could see up to $10,000 payment.

The assassination of high-ranking U.S. officials could see payments of up to $50,000, the DHS said.

The investigations also uncovered that criminal groups, including members of Chicago’s street gangs with ties to the Latin Kings, have developed networks of armed rooftop “spotters” who track ICE and CBP officers and communicate their coordinates.

“This surveillance has enabled ambushes and disruptions during routine enforcement actions, including recent raids under Operation Midway Blitz,” the DHS said.

Led by ICE, “Operation Midway Blitz” was launched in early September 2025 in Chicago and the surrounding areas under the ICE Chicago field office, including Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kentucky, and Kansas, to remove illegal immigrants and enforce immigration law.

The intelligence comes as federal and state authorities are at loggerheads over how to approach law enforcement in the state.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson have criticized the Trump administration for seeking to send in the National Guard to protect ICE agents and facilities from a rebellion. Pritzker says the city and its residents are safe and there is no evidence of a rebellion, only constitutionally protected protests in front of ICE facilities.

Pritzker said on Oct. 5 that the ICE operations were creating a “war zone” and leaving ordinary residents terrorised. He said that agents were going after a few gang members, but that in at least one of the raids, elderly people and children were held for a few hours.

“If they’re not going to focus on the worst of the worst, which is what the president said they were going to do, they need to get the heck out,” he told CNN’s State of the Union.

President Donald Trump called for Brandon and Pritzker to be jailed for allegedly failing to protect ICE officers in Chicago. Pritzker responded by saying that the 25th Amendment should be invoked to remove Trump from office.

Brandon, on Oct. 6, signed an executive order prohibiting federal immigration agents from using city-owned property during their law enforcement operations.

“We will not tolerate ICE agents violating our residents’ constitutional rights nor will we allow the federal government to disregard our local authority. ICE agents are detaining elected officials, tear-gassing protestors, children, and Chicago police officers, and abusing Chicago residents. We will not stand for that in our city,” he said in a statement.

Support From Antifa
The DHS also laid blame on Antifa for aiding and abetting these criminal groups by organizing protests to block federal operations in Portland and Chicago. This has shielded cartel-linked individuals from deportation, the DHS said.

The department urged state and local leaders to support the federal law enforcement efforts and “cease policies that embolden criminals.”

“These criminal networks are not just resisting the rule of law, they are waging an organized campaign of terror against the brave men and women who protect our borders and communities,” Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said.

“Our agents are facing ambushes, drone surveillance, and death threats, all because they dare to enforce the laws passed by Congress. We will not back down from these threats, and every criminal, terrorist, and illegal alien will face American justice.”

The department said members of the public can report suspicious activities, such as rooftop surveillance or organized protests blocking federal operations, to the DHS Tip Line at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE or via the ICE website.
