The Pentagon has authorized the use of Naval Station Great Lakes, defense officials confirmed to The Washington Post.
The approval allows ICE and other federal personnel to launch operations from the base and could also enable housing for National Guard or active-duty troops if President Donald Trump orders a military deployment to help operations to root out homelessness, illegal immigration, and crime in the Democrat-run sanctuary city of Chicago and greater Illinois under Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson.
