CHICAGO - As " Operation Midway Blitz " launches in the Chicago area this week, former acting ICE Chief Jonathan Fahey explains that Americans can expect "known targets" to be the focus on the sweep.

ICE has been ramping up its mass deportation efforts since President Donald Trump took office in January, including in large cities such as Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. In recent weeks, Trump has expressed interest in cracking down on crime in the Windy City, after a multi-agency surge in the nation’s capital has led to a decrease in crime and hundreds of immigration-related arrests.

"I think it's going to be very targeted towards a lot of people with criminal records either that have been let out of jail and maybe have been convicted or let out of jail pending trial," Fahey said.
