U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested multiple dangerous criminal illegal aliens in Chicago, authorities have announced.
The major operation captures offenders accused of child sexual assault, rape, armed robbery, and domestic battery.
The arrests were carried out under “Operation Midway Blitz.”
The federal enforcement surge was launched in honor of Katie Abraham.
Abraham was killed in Illinois by drunk-driving illegal alien Julio Cucul-Bol in a hit-and-run crash.
DHS: Sanctuary Leaders Protect Criminals Over Citizens
In a statement, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said:
“In just the last few days in Chicago, ICE has arrested pedophiles, rapists, abusers, armed robbers, and other violent thugs.
“These are the criminal illegal aliens Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, and their fellow sanctuary politicians protect over the law-abiding American citizens.”
McLaughlin emphasized that sanctuary policies are a magnet for violent offenders.
“These criminal illegal aliens flocked to Illinois because sanctuary policies allow them to roam free and terrorize innocent Americans without consequence,” she said.
“President Trump and Secretary Noem have a clear message: no city is a safe haven for criminal illegal aliens.
“If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will hunt you down, arrest you, deport you, and you will never return.”
ICE Surges Resources To Chicago
DHS released mugshots of several of the arrested offenders.
The department is calling the dangerous criminals “the worst of the worst.”
Officials said ICE operations in Chicago will continue.
DHS has expanded resources deployed alongside federal partners in the Department of Justice.
“DHS will continue our law enforcement and public safety mission undeterred as we surge ICE resources in the city,” the department stated.
The crackdown comes as President Trump intensifies efforts to dismantle sanctuary city protections.
The Trump administration is warning that local politicians who shield illegal aliens are putting American lives at risk.
