ICE Misconduct in Chicago Enabled by Trump Officials, State Says

Trump administration officials enabled misconduct by federal immigration and border patrol agents as part of an enforcement crackdown last year in Chicago, which led to mass raids, many arrests and some violent conflicts with protesters, according to an Illinois state investigation.

Federal agents “engaged in dangerous high-speed vehicular pursuits, extreme physical force, indiscriminate use of chemical agents, shootings, beatings, and other violent acts, amounting to unconstitutional uses of force,” the Illinois Accountability Commission said in a report released Thursday examining the administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz.”
