The Trump administration’s aggressive deportation campaign in Chicago is expected to soon ramp down as U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino and many of his fellow agents prepare to move on to another city, according to two law enforcement officials.
The news appears to signal at least a downshift in the Department of Homeland Security’s “Operation Midway Blitz,” which brought two months of chaos, fear, tear gas and intense litigation to Chicago.
Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin wrote on social media Tuesday morning, “we aren’t leaving Chicago,” claiming that the feds’ campaign lowered homicides, shootings, robberies and other crimes in the city.
Still, the Midway Blitz command post is shutting down, the law enforcement officials told the Chicago Sun-Times.
