A leaked memo from the Department of Homeland Security indicates that they are requesting military support for both ICE and ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations) for the city of Chicago.

Which means, like Los Angeles, the military will be in Chicago supporting DHS operations.

Here’s the memo:

“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requests immediate Department of Defense (DoD) support to provide existing infrastructure to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), a component of DHS, to conduct operations in the Chicago, Illinois metropolitan area. This support is critical to ensuring the efficient and secure handling of aliens in accordance with federal regulations and in line with ICE’s ongoing efforts to address public safety and national security.”

A following page of the memo, which can be found here, indicates they are making this request for 30 days, just like they are doing with D.C.

“DoD facilitates the use of Naval Station Great Lakes 30 days of operations in the Chicago Metropolitan area, with the advance party arriving September 2, 2025.”

It sounds like this is happening soon. GET ‘ER DONE!
