Part 6/12:
Despite opposition from local officials, the federal government has signaled its intention to intensify efforts to remove fugitives and enforce immigration laws. Homeland Security has pledged to purchase more buildings in Chicago to serve as operational centers, effectively expanding federal presence despite local resistance. These measures are seen by critics as a necessary response to the city’s unchecked lawlessness.
However, many in the media and political circles view this escalation as a direct consequence of sanctuary policies. The maxed-out ICE detention capacity and the inability to process and deport fugitives efficiently exacerbate the crisis, while illegal crossings continue to strain border enforcement and urban security.
