Governor Pritzker and Advocacy Groups Demand Criminal Investigations of ICE Agents After Midway Blitz Report
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is calling for criminal investigations into federal immigration agents following a state report on Operation Midway Blitz. Governor Pritzker urged state prosecutors to look into alleged misconduct by ICE agents during the recent immigration crackdown. This push follows a final report from the Illinois Accountability Commission that recommended the prosecution of federal officers involved in the raids. Advocacy groups are also pressuring the Cook County State's Attorney's Office to investigate federal agents for their actions in Chicago neighborhoods. Some critics claim that the violence and abuse reported in areas like Little Village and Brighton Park were not accidents but were part of the operation's original plan.
