This: You wake up one morning, and suddenly, there are more enforcement agents than usual on the streets. That's what happened in Chicago recently. The Trump administration kicked off a multi-day operation, led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). They've teamed up with other federal agencies like the FBI and DEA. The goal? To target "public safety and national security threats. " Sounds serious, right? But not everyone is happy. Some say this is a way to deport more people, not just the bad guys. Chicago's governor worries they're going after law-abiding families too. Plus, there's a lawsuit claiming the government is targeting Chicago because it's a sanctuary city. It's like the city is a puzzle piece in a much bigger picture.
A puzzling move, perhaps, but it's not new. Past administrations did similar things. The difference? Some officials under President Trump say previous guidelines made it tougher to target criminals. Others disagree, saying those guidelines were clear. It's like a game of tug of war over how best to keep communities safe.
