More than 1,000 illegal aliens in Illinois have been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Border Patrol officers as part of Operation Midway Blitz, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Friday.
The milestone came the same day Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem traveled to Chicago, where she joined agents on raids.
One of the raids, which netted several detentions, was at a Walmart.
DHS officials say the operation is pulling some of the "worst of the worst" off the streets.
Arrests include pedophiles, child abusers, kidnappers, gang members, and armed robbers.
The crackdown began Sept. 8 and was named in honor of Katie Abraham, killed in Illinois by a drunk-driving illegal alien.
DHS said Chicago and other Illinois cities have become havens for criminals because of Gov. JB Pritzker's sanctuary policies.
"Operation Midway Blitz is making Illinois safe again," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
"Our brave law enforcement has made more than 1,000 arrests — even while working without pay because of the Democrats' shutdown."
One arrested was convicted of aggravated battery against a 3-year-old.
Another, a confirmed MS-13 member, had prior arrests for mob action and property damage.
DHS says gang affiliates from Mexico, Mauritania, and Venezuela's feared Tren de Aragua were among those detained.

President Trump and Kristi Noem are rounding up the Illegal Alien Scum Of The Earth for Deportation!
Keep It Up!
Bravo
Great news. But is this going to make a dent in the problem?
We need 1,000 times 1,000 a month, but they’re clearly not aiming for anything like that.
And it's having an impact. Invaders are having second thoughts about the journey from their native countries to the USA. And some invaders already here are self-deporting.
Bravo POTUS Trump!

“Great news. But is this going to make a dent in the problem?”
Are we still paying benefits to these people?
Too bad that Pam Blondi isn’t as aggressive as Kristi Noem. Just saying.
Have you applied for a position with ICE yet?
I’m sure you could show them how to do it soooo much better.

Blondi is home with her cats. Sessions in heels.
Local cop station denied Noem the use of their restroom - TV clip
“””Local cop station denied Noem the use of their restroom - TV clip”””
Not a wise move since they get a lot of money from the feds. Or...USED TO GET.
If you think they’re trying, you’re very gullible.
“Newsmax Wires produces much more accurate reporting than Associated Presstitutes or Rooters Sewer Service disinformation.”
I agree. At least with Newsmax you get the rest of the story that the legacy media omits.

This is beyond shameful by a government entity. Says a lot about it, nothing good.
There needs to be arrests of the so called citizens who work to fight against deportations of illegals…like these Governors and mayors of sanctuary states and cities.
I consider it treasonous.
Declare martial law and treat it as such.
Maybe illegal’s will get the message and leave.
“If you think they’re trying, you’re very gullible.”
So when did you put your application in?
L
I don’t in the least blame the foot soldiers and my becoming one wouldn’t help anything. It’s the people behind Trump who are the problem.
It’s a start.
It’s far better than what we had under biden.
