Human-rights attorneys in Chicago say they cannot account for more than 3,000 people arrested during a federal immigration crackdown known as “Operation Midway Blitz,” raising concerns about due process, transparency, and possible coerced departures.

Immigration and Border Patrol officers have arrested more than 3,000 people who authorities say were in the U.S. illegally and in some cases wanted for serious crimes, all in the seven weeks since feds intensified their efforts in the state.

Attorneys consulted by NBC Chicago, however, say federal authorities have refused — or are unable — to disclose where many of those detainees are being held or whether they have already been deported.

    “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” - Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025

    I dunno, kinda sounds like they’re getting exactly what they want already and your calls to inaction further enable it.

      Who said I said to do nothing? I’m just saying don’t go out and start shooting people as at this point it will only make things worse.
