Feds secure Naval Station Great Lakes for Chicago immigration blitz: sources
Base staff have been advised that the facility will be providing “support” in the form of office space for a command center and portable laundry units, one source told the Sun-Times. But federal agents will not be housed at the site.
Oh, the irony:
The scale and legality of the planned operation and the role of staff at the base remained unclear, according to a source with knowledge of the planning
Another source familiar with the plan told the Sun-Times about 30 to 40 ICE agents had been practicing riot control tactics at the military installation for months, using flash-bang grenades and marching in phalanxes with shields. The source said the planned operation would likely involve more agents than had been previously running drills, noting that the barracks can house 200 people.
Federal agents would be given control of Building 617, which houses the Navy College Learning Center and the Morale, Welfare and Recreation Library, according to Yargosz’s email.
