WASHINGTON (AP) — Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says the Trump administration will soon expand immigration operations in Chicago. Noem confirmed plans for the stepped up presence of federal agents in the nation’s third-largest city in a CBS News’ “Face the Nation” interview on Sunday. DHS last week requested the Naval Station Great Lakes, about 35 miles north of Chicago, provide DHS limited support in the form of facilities, infrastructure, and other logistical needs for the agency’s operations. Pritzker says that the plan to mobilize federal forces in the city may be part of an effort by President Donald Trump to “stop the elections in 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections.”
