In Chicago, an immense show of force signals a sharp escalation in White House immigration crackdown

CHICAGO (AP) — The music begins low and ominous, with the video showing searchlights skimming along and heavily armed immigration agents storming inside. Guns are drawn. Unmarked cars fill the streets. Agents rappel from a Black Hawk helicopter.

But quickly the soundtrack grows more stirring and the video — edited into a series of dramatic shots and released by the Department of Homeland Security days after the Sept. 30 raid — shows agents leading away shirtless men, their hands zip-tied behind their backs.
