       Americans suffered a litany of horrors thanks to the Trump   
       administration during 2025 – refusal to disburse emergency   
       aid, soaring measles cases, collapsing small businesses,   
       vindictive prosecutions, wanton destruction of the federal   
       government, and (soon) soaring health insurance premiums. But   
       few incidents were more shocking than the two-month siege of   
       Chicago, in which America’s third-largest city was terrorized   
       by a gang of violent, sadistic thugs.   
      
       The gang members in question were, of course, agents of the   
       Trump administration, mainly although not all from ICE — U.S.   
       Immigration and Customs Enforcement. If you think I’m being   
       hyperbolic in calling them sadistic thugs, read the Chicago   
       Tribune’s long article about Operation Midway Blitz, which   
       describes scene after scene of what went down:   
      
           What happened here for more than two months is unlike   
           anything in recent American history: the federal   
           government sending agents dressed for war into   
           neighborhoods of the country’s third-largest city to   
           arrest mostly people who look Latino and to ask questions   
           later. To target people largely on the basis of their skin   
           color, on the presumption that they may be in the country   
           without documentation, or that they may have a criminal   
           record, or an association with a gang.   
      
       Trump officials claimed that they were cracking down on   
       violent crime committed by illegal aliens, but their own   
       operation demonstrated, better than any conventional   
       statistical analysis, that claims of an immigrant crime wave   
       are bogus. The Tribune found that “only about 1.5% of those   
       detained for immigration-related reasons had been convicted of   
       a violent felony or sex crime.”
