Overview

• The Department of Homeland Security said it will go to wherever it finds "criminal illegal aliens," explicitly naming Chicago and Boston for increased enforcement.
• Vice President JD Vance said there are no immediate plans to send soldiers after President Trump said he was "going in" without providing a timeline.
• Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson detailed responses that include a promised lawsuit if troops are activated and an executive order limiting Chicago police cooperation with federal or military personnel.
• Parade organizers in Pilsen plan to proceed with added precautions such as volunteer marshals and know-your-rights outreach, while some businesses in Latino neighborhoods adjust hours and layouts to reassure patrons.
• Immigrant-rights groups have expanded rapid-response teams, boosted ICE hotline staffing, and encouraged residents to document enforcement activity as a recent ruling against the Los Angeles troop deployment adds legal pressure on the administration.
