DHS announces ‘Midway Blitz’ ICE operation in Chicago
The Hill via Yahoo ^ | September 8th, 20025 | Elizabeth Crisp

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched its latest immigration crackdown on Monday, targeting Chicago.

“DHS is launching Operation Midway Blitz in honor of Katie Abraham who was killed in a drunk driving hit-and-run car wreck caused by criminal illegal alien Julio Cucul-Bol in Illinois,” DHS wrote on the social platform X.

“This ICE operation will target the criminal illegal aliens who flocked to Chicago and Illinois because they knew Governor Pritzker and his sanctuary policies would protect them and allow them to roam free on American streets,” DHS added, referring to Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D).

The move was blasted by Illinois’s largely left-leaning congressional delegation.

“As President Trump continues to wrongly hyper-fixate on deploying the military to Chicago, his Administration is now ramping up its campaign to arrest hardworking immigrants with no criminal convictions,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said in a statement.

hardworking immigrants?

oh, checked in at a.designated port of entry at the border, applied for citizenship, got background checked, cleared FBI and Homeland Security databases, have no criminal records in USA or home countries, and were of sound mind, nor contagious in any way and were searched for weapons, drugs and narcotics paraphernalia. Payed fees and waited for process to complete.

I didn’t think so.

Well Dick, suspects get arrested first, then convicted or found innocent. That’s the way the justice system works.

Protest attendees in videos - mostly whites, a few blacks and some Hispanics.

In other words...white liberals up to their usual antics...telling others they can't do anything for themselves so they'll do it for them.

JMO, YMMV

Doing the jobs Americans won't do, picking produce in those Chicago farms and thoroughfares. :)

“to arrest hardworking immigrants with no criminal convictions,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said in a statement.”

Dim-bulb Dick Durbin thinks it’s just hunky-dory for illegal alien criminals to commit all the crimes they want just so long as they don’t get caught ...

and without looking at any of the “protest” pics, i can almost guarantee that most of the white protesters are retirees recruited by Rent-A-Mob.com from retirement communities and Golden Corral ...

“Left Leaning?!”

Dick Durban is over the left wing cliff for decades. Crooked as a dogs hind leg, and twice as dirty.

All Legal immigration needs to stop for at least two generations.

I expect to see more of these people wearing Phillies jerseys, with either the short Karen haircut like the Phillies foul-ball girl. or the longer hairdo like the Bud Light and Cracker Barrel girls.

The male version will sport a grey ponytail. Or is it gray?

“The Hill may as well be Media Matters.”
Are you saying they fabricated the story?
