Hundreds of federal agents in Chicago carry out operation targeting suspected Tren de Aragua gang members

Hundreds of federal agents carried out a "targeted immigration enforcement operation" early Tuesday in Chicago, Illinois, against suspected Tren de Aragua gang members.

The FBI confirmed the operation to FOX32 Chicago, noting that its agents assisted the U.S. Border Patrol in the city’s South Shore neighborhood. The operation — which involved almost 300 agents — targeted six people associated with the Venezuelan gang, according to Fox News senior correspondent Mike Tobin.

The development comes a day after Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announced that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is "seeking the deployment of 100 military troops to Illinois."

The FBI, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the DHS did not immediately respond Tuesday to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Don't they need to have a federal judge to approve going after terrorist gangs? :judge:

Sweeping ICE Arrests in West Chicago
 
Illinois State Sen. Karina Villa (D) has confronted federal immigration agents during enforcement actions and advised residents to stay indoors as local advocates responded. U.S. Customs and Border Protection Sector Chief Gregory Bovino criticized Villa’s actions and defended agents’ use of masks for safety, facing backlash from community leaders. The clash came as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has confirmed targeted arrests in West Chicago.
 
This was part of a broader operation that has led to hundreds of detentions across the Chicago metro area and neighboring states since earlier this month.

Villa posted videos claiming immigration advocates reported arrests near school drop-offs. Lawmakers and community leaders said at least 13 people were detained from a van, grocery store, and apartment complex.

Villa said, “It’s very important that, as allies, we show up for each other.” She added, “Donald Trump is seeing this community come together and resist and speak up and speak out, that is why he is targeting our cities, our state, our communities.”

Bovino said the latest operations have led to several hundred arrests in Chicago. He argued that face coverings protect agents amid rising assaults and rejected calls for them to remove masks.
