CHICAGO, Ill. (WTVO) — The Department of Homeland Security provided an update to its ongoing “Operation Midway Blitz” on Wednesday, saying over 800 criminal illegal aliens have been arrested despite both the state’s sanctuary policies and violent protests.
According to DHS, “Operation Midway Blitz” was launched in honor of Katie Abraham, who was killed in a drunk driving crash by Julio Cucul-Bol, and specifically targets criminals who flocked to Chicago and Illinois seeking protection from deportation by the sanctuary policies of Gov. JB Pritzker.
“During Operation Midway Blitz, DHS law enforcement has made more than 800 arrests across Illinois. The Trump Administration will not allow violent criminals or repeat offenders to terrorize our neighborhoods or victimize our children and innocent Americans,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “We will not allow sanctuary politicians or violent rioters to stop us from enforcing the law and arresting pedophiles, murderers, gang members, rapists, and domestic abusers from American communities.”…
