New Chicago Immigration Campaign Prompts Confusion

CHICAGO (AP) — The Department of Homeland Security is trumpeting the start of a new immigration operation in Chicago that’s stirring up fresh confusion and anxiety. The latest effort targets people without legal permission to live in the U.S. who have criminal records but it appeared separate from a promised surge of immigration agents or National Guard deployment President Donald Trump has promised for two weeks. Adding to the confusion was a handful of immigration arrests over the weekend in Chicago, which activated the city’s vocal activist network and worries that it was the start of something bigger.
