Trump's Immigration Crackdown Leads to Arrests of US Citizens
On Wednesday, six US citizens were arrested in and around Chicago, accused of violence towards federal agents. The arrests were made by the Department of Homeland Security as part of Operation Midway Blitz, an immigration enforcement effort.
The detained individuals include Elianne Bahena and Jacqueline Lopez, staff members for Chicago Alderman Michael Rodriguez. The arrests have sparked backlash, with many protesting the Department of Homeland Security's actions in the city.
The Border Patrol said it had faced "one of its most violent days" since the operation began, including death threats and attempted vehicle ramming.
The incident highlights the tension between Americans exercising their First Amendment rights and the Trump administration's views on what constitutes going too far.
