Operation Midway Blitz, Cook County's New Chief Judge, and Mexican Independence Day
Description
Earlier this week, the Department of Homeland Security launched “Operation Midway Blitz,” a surge in immigration raids across Chicago and Illinois. WTTW anchor Joanna Hernandez tells us the timing of this campaign alongside Mexican Independence Day celebrations is purposeful and a repeat of history for Chicago. Injustice Watch reporter Kelly Garcia also joins us with a new investigation into the head of Cook County’s juvenile detention center and the results of Cook County’s chief judge election.
