DHS Links Kirk Assassination To Immigration Crackdown; ICE Raids Hit Boston, Chicago In Crosshairs

DHS used its weekly recap to link Charlie Kirk’s killing to a renewed immigration crackdown, highlighting ICE operations in Boston and planned actions targeting Chicago. The messaging, led by Deputy Assistant Secretary Micah Bock and featuring Secretary Kristi Noem, frames the enforcement push as defending American and Christian values. Critics warn the rhetoric could justify broader sweeps and probes, including reviews of foreign nationals’ status who commented on the killing.
