Several federal agencies have launched immigration enforcement operations in Chicago this week following President Donald Trump’s promised crackdown on illegal immigration.

Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove visited Chicago on Jan. 26 to observe Department of Homeland Security immigration enforcement operations. He was also present in the nation’s third-largest city to support actions by several federal agencies, including the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), according to Department of Justice spokesman Chad Gilmartin.
