Chicago Police Superintendent Defends Response to Immigration Enforcement Operation
During a heated forum, Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling defended the department's actions during 'Operation Midway Blitz,' an immigration enforcement initiative. The meeting, held by the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability, addressed concerns about the police department's adherence to the Welcoming City Ordinance, which limits cooperation with federal immigration agencies. Snelling emphasized the department's role in maintaining public safety and denied allegations of collusion with federal agents. The forum included public comments from residents and activists who criticized the police for allegedly prioritizing federal agents over community safety.
