Can Illinois hold the feds accountable for immigration crackdown?
11 min•28 april 2026
The Illinois state government has been investigating the United States government.
Specifically, a panel called the Illinois Accountability Commission has been conducting interviews and reviewing footage from last year's federal immigration enforcement crackdown in Chicago, known as Operation Midway Blitz.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker established the commission late last year to create a public record of the weeks-long immigration crackdown throughout the Chicago area.
