NEWSWEEK
— ICE Agents Rappel From Black Hawk Helicopters Into Chicago for Major Raid
https://www.newsweek.com/ice-rappel-black-hawk-helicopters-chicago-10809228
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter onto the rooftops of Chicago residential buildings, launching a sweeping immigration enforcement operation targeting suspected Tren de Aragua gang members, according to NewsNation. The operation, led by ICE with support from the FBI and U.S. Border Patrol, was designed to apprehend high-priority targets connected to the Venezuelan crime syndicate that U.S. authorities have accused of trafficking, violence, and other cross-border crimes. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January designating Mexican drug cartels and other Latin American criminal groups like the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua as terrorist organizations. His administration is ramping up immigration enforcement operations in Chicago after he threatened to deploy the National Guard to quell crime in the city. Nearly 300 federal agents and officers descended upon a five-story apartment complex in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood, where U.S. Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino has claimed members of Tren de Aragua have been operating, according to NewsNation. The outlet reported that roughly 30 undocumented immigrants were taken into custody, several of them suspected of gang affiliation. Bovino told NewsNation that the operation proceeded “very smoothly” after federal officers and agents spent several days training for the targeted enforcement effort. Bovino, who is overseeing the ongoing operation in Chicago, added that residents of the South Side should expect an increased federal presence in the area.)
