Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) asked Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to pause Operation Midway Blitz for three days in the Chicagoland area to keep children out trick-or-treating “safe” from federal agents.
Anger has been building in recent weeks after DHS personnel, namely U.S. Border Patrol, having to deploy tear gas multiple times after locals came out and attack them during operations. Those attacks have not been properly explained by the mainstream media outlets and reporters in Chicago, painting agents as using tear gas for seemingly little to no reason, adding to the outrage.
Noem made it clear operations would not be on pause for three days, partly because illegal aliens with criminal records for sex crimes against minors have been arrested during OMB and keeping those people on the streets with kids trick-or-treating does not make sense.
On Friday, DHS kept its promise and carried out operations in the metro area. Predictably, while agents were arresting illegal aliens, liberals came out to interfere and attack agents.
