Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove visited Chicago on Sunday to observe the start of increased immigration enforcement promised by the Trump administration, though few details were provided.

Bove watched as Homeland Security agents, along with FBI and ATF officers, conducted operations, but specific locations and arrests were not disclosed.

The operation follows heightened concerns in immigrant communities, with rights groups preparing for potential arrests and city officials distributing information about immigrant rights.

Tensions escalated after a mistaken belief that ICE had raided a local school, which led to criticism from Governor JB Pritzker, the Associated Press has reported.

Several immigrant rights groups have filed a lawsuit against ICE to prevent certain raids.
