Federal agents have been conducting immigration enforcement operations in Chicago, leading to numerous arrests and incidents of alleged misconduct. A federal judge recently found that ICE repeatedly violated a consent decree over warrantless arrests, and attorneys say many of those detained should be released. Community members and officials are documenting and speaking out against the operations, accusing agents of racial profiling and intimidation.
