Illinois Governor news conference as Trump reportedly plans Chicago immigration crackdown

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker holds a news conference addressing the people of Illinois amid reports of federal deployments to Chicago.

President Donald Trump’s administration plans to surge officers to Chicago for an immigration crackdown in its latest move to expand the federal law enforcement presence in major Democratic-run cities, according to two U.S. officials.

The operation in the country’s third-largest city is expected to last about 30 days and could start as early as Sept. 5.
