Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched aggressive raids in Chicago targeting undocumented immigrants, resulting in widespread protests, clashes with federal agents, and dozens of arrests as of October 9, 2025.

The White House is considering invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy active-duty military amid escalating tensions and Democratic legal challenges.

This could solve a lot of problems
