CHICAGO - A new wave of federal agents could arrive in the Chicago area as early as next week, according to multiple reports.

What we know:

CNN reports the operation is separate from President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown involving the National Guard.

Trump’s border czar confirmed that a local military base will be used for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. The Naval Station Great Lakes, located about an hour north of Chicago, will provide "limited support" for the Department of Homeland Security from Sept. 2 through Sept. 30, a base spokesperson said.

State and local officials said they have not received communication from the White House. However, during a virtual briefing Thursday morning, Chicago leaders said they are preparing.
