Federal agents carried out a military-style raid on a South Shore apartment complex last fall with the permission of the building’s owner and manager, according to new court filings that appear to confirm residents’ suspicions and corroborate key allegations driving a state investigation.
The Trump administration has claimed the squalid building was a magnet for criminals and Venezuelan gang members, but the court records filed Tuesday indicate the harrowing raid was actually based on intelligence that “illegal aliens were unlawfully occupying apartments in the building.”
Arrest reports for two of the 37 people detained in the overnight raid at 7500 S. South Shore Drive were included in a motion filed Tuesday in a federal court case accusing immigration agents of making unlawful arrests.
The made-for-TV sacking of the building on Sept. 30 became an early flashpoint of Operation Midway Blitz, the monthslong deportation campaign targeting the Chicago area last year.
Federal agents descended on the 130-unit complex from helicopters and used flashbang grenades to burst through doors. Residents reported seeing men, women and children pulled from apartments and zip-tied, some of them naked.
Some U.S. citizens reported being detained for hours. But one man, who helped neighbors hide, was left undisturbed by the feds, prompting questions about what the heavily-armed agents knew about the building and its residents prior to the raid.
The new arrest reports show the building’s owner, Trinity Flood, and property manager, Corey Oliver, gave “verbal and written consent” to search the building. Agents only checked units “not legally rented or leased at the time,” according to the reports.

Makes sense!!
Arrest reports for two of the 37
. Agents only checked units “not legally rented or leased at the time,” according to the reports.
Military would have shot up and destroyed the place. Chicago Times? SPIT.
A military style raid? Did they soften up the apartment complex with artillery fire?
The squalid building was a magnet for criminals and Venezuelan gang members.
The buck is mightier then what is the right thing to do for some.
It wasn't a military style raid. It was a federal law enforcement style raid. And is the purpose of this story to get the activists to start protesting this building owner?
Way to doxx the building owner, Chicago Sun Times. Assholes.
This article was written in an effort to despicably intimidate other building owners into not cooperating with federal authorities that are rounding up illegals.
The CST should be ashamed......but as we know, the left has no capacity for such a human emotion.
See post 10......that was the whole intent....to intimidate other building owners from doing the same.
A military style raid would’ve blown the building up with a JDAM sent by a drone flown by a high school graduate from 4000 miles away.

Sophie Sherry, deeply worried about how DHS knew the criminal Venezuelan gang completely infested that complex, not the fact that it existed. She’s part of that group that loves the immigration flood and hates a traditional Christian America.
All to protect the drug cartels.
“The new arrest reports show the building’s owner, Trinity Flood, and property manager, Corey Oliver, gave “verbal and written consent” to search the building. Agents only checked units “not legally rented or leased at the time,””
Fully legal. This wall kisser is either ignorant and thinks they needed more, or she’s basically trying to bring harm to the owner.
Sophie Sherry’s name should be mentioned by the administration in a news presser to “doxx” journalists who use their job to intimidate honest, law-abiding citizens. Maybe just casually mention what part of town she lives in without giving her actual address.
Why isn't the Chicago Police conducting such raids on non legally rented units?
That’s treason.
Yeah, and if doesn’t he stands to be charged with felony obstruction.
Likely CPD refused to help the owners remove squatters. Bring in ICE and get ‘er done.
