Illinois governor and Chicago mayor slam Trump anti-alien operation
Sep 10, 2025
Washington DC [US], September 10: The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced a large-scale operation by its Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency aimed at "illegal aliens" in the city of Chicago.
Pritzker responded on X: "Once again, this isn't about fighting crime. That requires support and coordination - yet we've experienced nothing like that over the past several weeks." He charged the Trump administration of being focused on scaring Illinoisians.
And Johnson posted that the city had received no notice of the operation. "We remain opposed to any potential militarized immigration enforcement without due process because of ICE's track record of detaining and deporting American citizens and violating the human rights of hundreds of detainees," he said on X.
