Armed federal agents in full tactical gear descended on downtown Chicago for the latest immigration crackdown — as President Trump warned, “Border Patrol will take no nonsense!” The scores of federalized troops were spotted patrolling the streets of some of the Windy City’s most prominent tourist and shopping hotspots during the ICE round-up starting Sunday afternoon.

The surge targeted “the worst of the worst” illegal immigrants with criminal records, according to Gregory Bovino, a Border Patrol chief.Pedestrians tell ICE agents to “go home” as feds stand in Chicago on Sunday, September 28, 2025.It wasn’t immediately clear how many illegal migrants were nabbed in the Chicago operation.Trump, meanwhile, shared footage on Truth Social late Sunday of protesters harassing federal agents as he warned, “Border Patrol will take no nonsense!” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, both Democrats, blasted the Trump administration’s show of force.“While Chicagoans and visitors are enjoying another gorgeous Sunday, they are being intimidated by masked federal agents flaunting automatic weapons for no apparent reason,” Johnson said in a statement. Pritzker, meanwhile, said the officers “appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks.”“This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses,” the governor complained. The Chicago operation comes just weeks after Trump started threatening to send the National Guard to flood the city. The scenes in Chicago unfolded after the feds started arriving in Portland, Ore., over the weekend after Trump ordered military deployment there, too. Clashes erupted outside an ICE facility as Trump confirmed he’d authorized “full force” to protect a “war ravaged Portland” and federal buildings “under siege by ANTIFA, and other domestic terrorists.”
