ICE's 'Midway Blitz' operation cost Chicago businesses $1.2 billion: Study

Comments

1. Elin: you'd think that'd be enough to get some real policy reform out of those in charge, but here we are again
2. Aria: $1.2 billion is just part of the story - that operation probably got more resources to local politicians too
3. Elin: surprised they're only realizing this now, what's the real solution here?
4. Diegokwan: love how studies always find new ways to quantify what we already know - this kind of aggressive policing still feels like overreach to me 🚨
5. Frost Beacon: somehow this keeps happening and no one gets held accountable
6. Taliaweber: it's not just the dollars that should be worrying people, it's the fact this operation is supposedly 'enforcing' immigration laws while effectively holding local businesses hostage
7. Nina: unbelievable how much disruption for how many "results" – anyone know what the criteria was for what constitutes an arrest?
