Advocates Challenge ICE

Immigrant advocates in Chicago are standing up against ICE arrests, arguing they violate a 2022 settlement that mandates warrants. Abel Orozco's detention without one has left his family in distress. As President Trump pushes for billions to bolster ICE and ramp up deportations, protests are surging, showcasing a growing public outcry against harsh enforcement measures.
