House ‘Shadow Hearing' Focuses on Trump Immigration Crackdown in Chicago
Nearly 20 House Democrats heard testimony about the impact of "Operation Midway Blitz" on Chicago communities.
The hearing, held in the County Building, is the first of its kind outside of Washington, D.C., and the fourth since President Donald Trump took office, according to Rep. Pramila Jayapal.
Lawmakers aimed to highlight alleged abuses of power by the Trump administration during the federal government shutdown.
Testimonies were given by immigrant and refugee rights groups, faith leaders, and a 19-year-old named Genesis, whose mother, a food vendor, was detained in Chicago and remains in federal custody.
No specific quotes were provided in the article.
