Immigration Raids 'Haven't Gone Far Enough' In Chicago, Trump Says

President Donald Trump stated in a “60 Minutes” interview that federal immigration agents in Chicago “haven’t gone far enough” with their enforcement tactics. He defended the use of aggressive methods, including tear gas and rubber bullets, despite widespread criticism from local leaders and residents. Trump claimed that many individuals detained by ICE are serious criminals, although investigations reveal a significant number have minimal or no criminal records. Recent operations by ICE have led to violent encounters, including shootings and the detention of U. S.

citizens. Local leaders are actively seeking ways to peacefully resist these aggressive federal actions. Trump emphasized his administration's focus on changing policies in sanctuary cities like Chicago, suggesting a need for reform. He also hinted at potentially invoking the Insurrection Act to address crime in the city. As federal agents conducted raids, community rapid response groups reported multiple detentions, highlighting ongoing tensions around immigration enforcement in the region.
