ICE 'MIDWAY BLITZ' HITS CHICAGO: Multi‑Agency Raids Target Criminal Noncitizens For Arrest And Removal

ICE launched Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago, a weeks‑long, multi‑agency enforcement push involving ATF, DEA and the U.S. Marshals. In a Fox News ride‑along, agents arrested a repeat illegal re‑entry suspect who resisted, and detained another man convicted of sexually assaulting a child. DHS framed the blitz as targeting the "worst of the worst" and honoring Katie Abraham, while officials said arrestees face federal prosecution and potential removal. The campaign mirrors earlier high‑visibility operations in sanctuary jurisdictions this year.
