Wednesday Journal
Oak Park Township Trustee Juan Muñoz participated in a hearing last week concerning the impact that ramped up federal immigration enforcement has had on Chicagoland.
The event featured testimony from many regional leaders on their experiences during the Department of Homeland Security’s “Operation Midway Blitz” immigration enforcement operation last year, according to event organizers.
“This is when it became clear that the arrests, the photos were being used for their propaganda,” he said.
“Those tactics are coming back to Illinois, and what are we doing to prepare for it,” he said at last Saturday’s protest.
“I’m here to unequivocally state that ICE is the aggressor,” said Oak Park Village President Vicki Scaman at that press conference.
