Trump Credits Federal Action for Chicago Crime Drop
Liberty Check
- Operation Midway Blitz has faced opposition from Chicago and Illinois Democratic leaders, whom Trump accuses of obstructing law enforcement efforts.
- Federal raids in the Chicago area targeted violent offenders and illegal immigrants with criminal records, resulting in multiple arrests despite agent injuries and attacks on patrol units.
- The operation was named in honor of Katie Abraham, a local resident killed in a hit-and-run by a suspected illegal immigrant.
President Trump reports a sharp decline in violent crime in Chicago following the launch of
“Operation Midway Blitz”
a Department of Homeland Security initiative.
Trump states shootings have decreased by 35%, robberies by 41%, and carjackings by nearly 50% since the operation began.
Federal officials say suspects who attacked agents will be prosecuted fully, while Trump promises to expand the crackdown to include more federal assets in Chicago and Memphis.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
