The Trump administration is sending additional immigration enforcement resources to Chicago as part of the president’s plan to deploy federal agents to the nation’s third-largest city, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said on Aug. 31.
On Aug. 27, DHS asked the Naval Station Great Lakes military base for “limited support in the form of facilities, infrastructure, and other logistical needs to support DHS operations.” The base, which is roughly 35 miles north of Chicago, had not yet decided on the request, a base spokesperson said on Aug 27.
