ICE 'Midway Blitz' In Chicago: 3,000 Detained As Trump Claims Crime Plunges

The White House touts DHS/ICE's 'Operation Midway Blitz' in Chicago, with President Trump claiming double‑digit drops in shootings, robberies, and carjackings within weeks. ICE has detained more than 3,000 people tied to the operation for deportation processing. Local officials and Democrat‑appointed judges have pushed back, prompting legal friction over federal enforcement. The crime‑reduction claims warrant independent verification against Chicago crime data.
