Trump Administration Says It Has Begun Immigration Crackdown in Chicago...

To some degree, local officials said, the actions so far in Chicago looked like typical ICE arrests on a given day. In Illinois, ICE has made at least 1,400 immigration arrests since Mr. Trump took office, a much lower rate per capita than in other immigrant-heavy states like New York. More than a thousand of those arrests have been in the Chicago area. Jeylú B. Gutiérrez, a City Council member, said on Monday that three people in her ward had been detained, including a street vendor who sold flowers. Another person was arrested as he waited for a bus, she said. Ms. Gutiérrez, after driving her children to school on Monday morning, said that the neighborhood had less traffic than usual, suggesting that people were staying home from work and school out of fear. “They’re targeting hardworking people in the community,” she said. “At this point, everybody is a target.” Over the weekend, the White House posted an image on social media depicting Mr. Trump with helicopters, billowing flames and the Chicago skyline. “Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR,” the post read.
