Chicago braces for extended immigration crackdown and National Guard deployment

Federal agents are expected to conduct a prolonged immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, lasting over a month, with plans for arrests and raids, amid political tensions and warnings from local officials to prepare for protests. The operation involves over 200 agents at the Great Lakes Naval Base, and there is ongoing debate about federal and local law enforcement roles, with the mayor and governor resisting federal intervention while Trump threatens to send the National Guard. Despite concerns, Chicago's crime rates have decreased significantly this year.
