""This ICE operation will target the criminal illegal aliens who flocked to Chicago and Illinois because they knew Governor Pritzker and his sanctuary policies would protect them and allow them to roam free on American streets,""
""That requires support and coordination - yet we've experienced nothing like that over the past several weeks,""
""Instead of taking steps to work with us on public safety, the Trump Administration's focused on scaring Illinoisians.""
""We remain opposed to any potential militarized immigration enforcement without due process because of ICE's track record of detaining and deporting American citizens and violating the human rights of hundreds of detainees.""
Illinois and Chicago officials affirmed sanctuary policies that bar local police from assisting federal immigration enforcement without a criminal warrant. The Department of Homeland Security announced an ICE operation on X, invoking victim Katie Abraham, who police say died in a suspected drunken-driving hit-and-run; the charged suspect is a 29-year-old man from Guatemala believed to be undocumented. DHS framed the operation as targeting criminal undocumented immigrants who came because of sanctuary protections. State and city leaders said the federal action lacked coordination, provided no notice, and criticized potential militarized enforcement and threats to due process.
