A federal immigration enforcement operation in Illinois has led to 250 people being taken into custody, U.S. Rep. Lauren Underwood said.

Underwood, D-Naperville, was briefed on Wednesday regarding ”Operation Midway Blitz” by the leadership of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

In a statement, Underwood said ICE leadership shared the following information on their operation, which covers not only Chicago but the entire state as well as Lake County, Indiana:

• Since Sept. 6, ICE reports that it has taken 250 people into custody from this operation.

• The operation will continue until ICE “receives guidance” from President Donald Trump’s administration.

• The operation is focused on people whom agents “encounter” and determine are “in the U.S. illegally.”

• The operation includes agents from ICE; the U.S. Marshals Service; the Drug Enforcement Administration; and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Underwood’s statement said the agency did not provide any public safety or other data to “justify increased operations” in Illinois or any metrics the agency “plans to use to determine when the surge will end.”

People taken into custody include those charged and convicted of a crime as well as those who haven’t been, Underwood said. They have been taken to detention centers in Wisconsin and Indiana.

“Everyone deserves to feel safe in their community,” Underwood said. “Like all Illinoisans, I’ve been concerned and alarmed by reporting about ICE’s conduct and operations in our state under Donald Trump.”
