Mayor Taunts Trump’s ICE

The Trump administration is taking decisive action to protect American citizens, launching a major ICE operation in the Chicago area targeting dangerous criminal illegal aliens who have been protected by Illinois’ radical sanctuary policies.

On Monday, Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss sounded the alarm, warning residents that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents could soon be conducting operations in the area. But instead of cooperating with federal authorities, the Democrat mayor blamed President Trump, accusing his administration of trying to “keep us guessing.”

During an interview on CNN’s OutFront, host Erin Burnett pointed out that Biss is not only the mayor of Evanston but also a Democrat running for Congress. She pressed him for details on what he knew about the upcoming ICE raids.

“So, what do you really know about what’s about to happen in the next few hours and days?” Burnett asked.

Biss admitted he had no clear information, claiming the Trump administration was deliberately keeping local officials in the dark.

“The Trump administration wants to keep us guessing, wants to use our uncertainty to keep us afraid,” Biss said.

However, Biss revealed that a senior state official had given him credible intelligence suggesting that ICE would likely be active in Evanston and surrounding areas “today and in the coming days.”

Operation Midway Blitz: Honoring Victims of Illegal Immigration

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that it has officially launched Operation Midway Blitz, a mission designed to track down and deport violent criminal illegal immigrants who have taken advantage of Illinois’ sanctuary policies.

The operation was named in honor of Katie Abraham, a young woman tragically killed by Julio Cucul-Bol, an illegal immigrant accused of a drunk driving hit-and-run in Illinois.

DHS issued a strong statement, directly blaming Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and other Democrat leaders for creating a haven for criminals.

“This ICE mission is focused on rounding up violent illegal immigrants who poured into Chicago and Illinois, confident that Governor Pritzker’s sanctuary policies would shield them,” DHS stated. “For far too long, these criminals have been free to endanger communities and walk our streets without consequence.”

Trump Administration Gets Tough on Sanctuary Cities

President Trump has long vowed to end sanctuary cities and put American safety first, a stark contrast to Democrat leaders who shield illegal immigrants even when they commit serious crimes.

This crackdown comes at a critical moment, as violent crime linked to illegal immigration continues to rise in major U.S. cities. For many conservatives, Operation Midway Blitz represents a direct response to years of failed Democrat policies that have left communities vulnerable.

With the 2025 election season heating up, Trump’s tough stance on border security and law enforcement is expected to be a major issue for voters, especially as Democrats continue to fight ICE operations in the name of “sanctuary.”

Key Takeaway

This bold move by the Trump administration highlights the stark choice facing Americans:

• Law and order under Trump’s leadership,
• Or chaos and crime under Democrat-backed sanctuary policies.

The coming days will reveal just how effective Operation Midway Blitz will be in restoring safety to Chicago-area neighborhoods — and whether local Democrat officials will cooperate with federal law enforcement or continue to obstruct ICE efforts.
