WASHINGTON—The Trump administration has asked a military base outside Chicago for support on immigration operations, according to the base.

Naval Station Great Lakes was asked by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for “limited support in the form of facilities, infrastructure, and other logistical needs to support DHS operations,” said Matt Mogle, a spokesperson for the base, which is 35 miles north of the Windy City.
