CHICAGO (WLS) -- Fears are growing among the Chicago area's immigrant community on Mexican Independence Day, with several reports of arrests on Monday.
Democratic Congresswoman Lauren Underwood said since the ICE surge in operations in the Chicago area began on September 6, 250 individuals have been taken into custody. Underwood said the individuals who are detained are transferred to detention centers in Indiana and Wisconsin.
People are working to find out where those who were detained are being held Tuesday morning.
The immigration facility in Broadview is supposed to be a main processing hub immigration arrests.
Democratic state Senator Karina Villa said she saw people she believes were ICE agents, wearing masks. She told people in the community to stay in their homes.
"We are here to show our solidarity and our commitment to our people," Villa said.
Immigrant advocate groups also reported ICE activity in Aurora.
The Little Village Community Council says they are trying to help get legal representation for those who have been detained.

Let the Left keep wasting their money protecting the criminals. The good citizens are getting an education on how the Dems are really.

Illegal Alien Shot Dead While Dragging ICE Agent Along Chicago Street
Five Juvenile Illegals Arrested for Robbing Stores at Mall in Chicago Burbs
Picked up by ICE in Chicago:
Carlos Roman-Berrera. Mexico. Arrested for aggravated sexual assault of a child family member and convicted of DUI.
Bernardino Perez-Arrevillaga. Mexico. Convicted of aggravated sexual assault victim 13-17 and sex offender registration violation.
Varinderpal Singh. India. Convicted of strongarm rape.
Juan Manuel Gaspar-Nochebuena. Mexico. Convicted of criminal sexual abuse of a child.
I think I see the problem here, they are Mexicans and they are celebrating Mexican Independence Day.
“Fears are growing among the Chicago area’s immigrant community on Mexican Independence Day,“
Why would any legal immigrant be afraid?
The idiot Pritzker was on tv demanding answers on why they shot a guy who was only dragging an officer down the street with his car.
“We are here to show our solidarity and our commitment to our people,” Villa said.
They’re quite out of touch with voters. KTLA produces many stories sympathetic of illegal aliens being deported, but the YouTube comments for those stories are overwhelmingly not sympathetic.
250? A good start.
PRITZKER SO FAT IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST A 1 TON TRUCK TO DRAG HIM....
Why are you in the U.S. if you want to celebrate Mexican Independence Day?
Assuming there are 25 million illegals in this country, we should be deporting over 17,000 a day since Trump’s inauguration.
If this administration is really serious about repatriating the illegals, they should be going after those who employ illegals.
“If this administration is really serious about repatriating the illegals, they should be going after those who employ illegals.”
Agree. Fine them. Imprison them. Confiscate their assets.
No mercy. No deals.
