The number of reported arrests is relatively few, but immigrant rights advocates said the operation appears to mark a shift in ICE tactics. Before this operation, local activists said, agents had been targeted in their tactics, presenting warrants at specific homes or detaining people at immigration court. Stopping people on the street in what appeared to be a fairly random fashion is new, they said.
In short, the Supreme Court decision not to uphold an injunction barring the use of racial profiling a basis for arrest is having fairly immediate consequences .

It was never about safety, just about hurting minorities. The GOP is very clear in their message; they have no idea what they’re doing and need a group to blame. I guess don’t walk around with a tan…
I wish the administration would focus on reducing crime and helping the economy. First step is to arrest donald trump and his goonsquad so we can start to recover from their dumpster fire.
It’s the Operation Midway Blitzmensch for a reason!
Isn’t calling it a “blitz” a little too on the nose (even for them)?
Just as the Supreme Court ruled they can target people based on race too. How convenient.
“Midway Blitz” dude you’re a glorified mall cop and bully. You don’t know shit. Sit your ass down.
glorified mall cop
Nazi. Tempting as it may be to just insult them, imo things like ‘glorified mall cop’ mitigates the threat they pose to our country and constitution. They are Nazis.
But the enemy was advancing with their picket signs… /s
Get the fuck out of my city you ghoulish fascist shit-fuckers.
Get the fuck out of my city
You and your neighbors will have to force them out.
You can’t wait for someone else to do it for you.
For my own personal safety I don’t own guns, but even if I did guess who gets in trouble for doing the right thing.
The only way they are gonna leaveis if they deem the risk to be greater than the reward. Chicagoland might just be the place that shows us how to tip the balance on that.
Yeah but they won’t be going to the West Side of they’re looking for immigrants.
So couldn’t you demand they display a badge if stopped? And failure to do so means they don’t have authority to detain you?
This is why everyone should walk around armed. Need to start passing out spears to protestors.
In a fair and just world, I would think so. But I don’t think they care about what authority they actually have.
