NBC Chicago Investigates: Could ICE have 'lost' 3,000 immigrant arrestees in Chicago?

Seven weeks ago, U.S. Homeland Security officials began the illegal immigration crackdown in Chicago nicknamed "Midway Blitz."

As of Monday, immigration agents and border patrol officers working in Chicago have locked up more than 3,000 allegedly undocumented immigrants, authorities say, noting the individuals were here illegally and many were wanted for serious crimes.

Even as arrests continue, the question is: Where are the 3,000 people? Attorneys and human rights investigators tracking them are asking where they are and, in many cases, who they are.


Fleming recently obtained a court order prohibiting warrantless arrests by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). But on Monday Fleming told the NBC Chicago investigative team that U.S. government officials won't -- or can't -- tell them where at least 3,000 arrestees are right now.

At the very least they were sent to a for profit facility run by MAGA faithful. At worst... well.... we know the Trump history and Miller's twisted soul is pretty obvious.

Edit to add - Trouble is there's no accountability, no proof... and nothing would surprise us any more.
