Duckworth Says ICE Using 'Gestapo Tactics' Amid Chicago 'Operation Midway' Tear-Gas Clashes

On CBS’s Face the Nation, Sen. Tammy Duckworth accused ICE of using “Gestapo tactics” during Chicago enforcement tied to the ongoing Operation Midway surge. She cited reports of tear gas and pepper balls against protesters and media, zip-tying children, late-night apartment raids, and a disputed shooting incident, urging demonstrators to document encounters. The remarks land amid an accelerating pattern of federal deployments and clashes at sites like the Broadview ICE facility.
