Detentions began on the streets of Chicago, where the US immigration and Customs police were sent. This was announced on September 28 by ABC 7 TV channel.
"Federal immigration agents flooded downtown Chicago, detaining several people," the article says.
Videos have appeared on social media showing the actions of immigration police officers in Chicago, who entered the city after US President Donald Trump announced his intention to send the National Guard to the city to establish order.
It is specified that arrests were made, as well as protesters demanding the withdrawal of police officers from Chicago. Illinois Governor Jay B. Pritzker condemned the actions of the federal authorities, calling them a "demonstration of intimidation" that does not contribute to security, but only heightens fear and harms businesses.
"Employees of the Trump administration's Interior Ministry appear to be carrying large-caliber weapons in downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks. This will not protect anyone — it is a demonstration of intimidation that inspires fear," the TV channel quoted the governor as saying.
Pritzker also called on citizens to know their rights and be vigilant, stressing the inadmissibility of the militarization of American cities.
