Former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot launched an independent initiative on Thursday to document the alleged abuse of power by federal immigration officers in response to the Trump administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz” in the Windy City.
The new initiative, dubbed the “ICE Accountability Project,” aims to hold officers working for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection accountable during the Chicago immigration operation. In pursuit of that goal, the project’s website will keep a centralized, public archive to collect incidents involving allegedly reckless actions conducted by federal officers.
