City officials confirmed reports that President Trump is sending ICE tactical teams to Chicago, the same move that sparked massive protests in Los Angeles.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- More anti-ICE Chicago protests are expected on Thursday, immigration advocates say. Organizers plan to speak and march against President Donald Trump's administration's immigration policies. The demonstrations come as Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson warns that ICE is planning to increase their operations in the city.

According to the sources, the teams will be activated in Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia, northern Virginia, including Washington, D.C., and New York.

Chicago protest against ICE resulted in 17 arrests with 4 facing felony charges, including aggravated battery and property damage. Thousands participated, with one injured by a car driving through the crowd.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson encouraged his city to protest the Trump administration’s immigration raids across the country. “I am counting on all of Chicago to resist in this moment,” said Johnson, who is a Democrat. “Whatever particular vulnerable group is being targeted today, another group will be next.”

The city says it is expecting Immigration and Customs Enforcement to arrive in Chicago on Thursday in mini-tanks, looking to deport people. Sabrina Franza reports.
