Operation Midway Blitz Launches In Chicago

Operation Midway Blitz aims to send a message that the area's "sanctuary policies" will no longer protect individuals.

The Department of Homeland Security launched a new immigration operation in Chicago.

The agency said ‘Operation Midway Blitz’ will target “the criminal illegal aliens who flocked to Chicago and illinois because they knew Gov. JB Pritzker and his sanctuary policies would protect them and allow them to roam free on American streets.”

The move comes after weeks of President Trump threatening to send National Troops to the area in his crime crackdown efforts. Pritzker has strongly opposed the plan claiming that Chicago does not need federal intervention.
