Periodic convincing federal agents in the center of Chicago
Federal immigration agents patrols in the center of Chicago on Sunday, while the Trump administration collects the immigration campaign in major cities throughout the country.
The border agents of their borders, who were in the city center, were armed, masked and talents, according to the sister network in Newsnation.

The publication added that two rifles were seized and an investigation was opened “in what appears to be a kind of explosive devices” outside the facility.
The raids raised fears of migrant and anger societies of democratic legislators.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) described the existence of a “symptom of intimidation” that “instilled fear in our societies and harms our actions.”
“We cannot normalize the American -US Military cities and suburbs,” Pritzker added in another publication on Sunday. “Ensure that you know your rights and stay on alert.”
The mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson (D) said that the Chicago residents “are intimidated and threatened by masked federal agents boasting of automatic weapons without a clear reason.”
The administration defended the procedures on Sunday, after the federal agents were seen walking in the center of Chicago, including near the Trump International Hotel and the Tower.
“I would like to say that the majority is actually happy because we are here,” Gregory Bovino, the US border patrol commander, told the General Action newspaper. They congratulate us, saying: “It is time for you here. “Especially these inner population in Chicago was very happy, because they often oppose that illegal immigration that has occurred during the past four years.
Johnson previously criticized the Trump administration for threatening to send the National Guard forces to Chicago.
Last month, the President sent forces to Washington, DC, and established the provincial police administration. Six other states, led by Republicans, Luisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, also sent to Washington.
On Friday, the governor of Tennessee Bill Lee (PBUH) told the correspondents that federal agents will arrive in Memphis this week, after Trump signed an executive order establishing the safe work squad in Memphis on September 15.
