ICE Chicago field office director Sam Olson praised the Trump administration for breaking down barriers to apprehending illegal migrant criminals in the Windy City.

A Chicago Immigration and Customs Enforcement official praised the Trump administration for taking the 'handcuffs off' the agency as officers continue to search for those with violent criminal histories. 'We're not targeting people in schools. We're not targeting people in churches. We're targeting people who are the worst,' Chicago ICE field office director Sam Olson told 'Fox & Friends' on Tuesday.

Homan told Fox News that targeted enforcements took 'national security threats' off the streets of Chicago, including aggravated sex offenders, convicted murderers and Tren de Aragua gang members. Olson lauded the Trump administration's 'whole-of-government' approach to immigration enforcement as 'amazing' and 'unprecedented' so far, adding that other agencies – the ATF, DEA, U.S. Marshals and the FBI – also have boots on the ground.
