CHICAGO – A significant federal raid took place this morning as dozens of federal agents surrounded an apartment building. This is part of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts, causing concern in the community.
The area is on high alert, bracing for potential military deployment as immigration officials continue to conduct raids. Residents described the scene as distressing.
“It’s kind of sad. You hear people screaming. You hear loud bangs and pops,” one person said. “You see children outside standing. I don’t know if with their parents or not. I mean it’s a little scary.”
In response to the increased presence of federal agents, a news conference was held on Monday where the governor of the state denounced the actions.
A follow-up press conference is expected to take place soon as the situation unfolds.
