Ice confirms ‘enhanced targeted operations’ in a city on edge after Trump officials warned of enforcement actions

US federal authorities have begun immigration raids in Chicago, according to a report on Sunday, days after incoming “border czar”, Tom Homan, said officials were “reconsidering” after details were leaked to the press.

“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, along with federal partners including the FBI, ATF, DEA, CBP and the U.S. Marshals Service, began conducting enhanced targeted operations today in Chicago,” the Chicago Tribune said, but offered no details of the operation.
