Suspicious device with anti-ICE message found at Chicago's Midway Airport
Description
CHICAGO (WGN) — Bomb technicians responded to Chicago's Midway International Airport on Monday following reports of a suspicious device with an anti-United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) message.
Witnesses told WGN-TV that the package read, "FOR ICE FROM FC." Details remain limited, however, from the FBI and Chicago police on what the short phrase could mean.
The Chicago police's bomb unit rendered the suspicious package, reported at 60th & Kilpatrick, safe just after 8:40 a.m. Monday. Patrol officers on the scene alerted residents before eliminating the suspicious package.
The situation unfolded about 300 yards from Midway Airport's main terminal, according to law enforcement officials.
Before the bomb squad arrived, neighbors noticed the red and orange writing on the suspicious package and called the police. WGN reached out to CPD News Affairs and the Department of Homeland Security for more information about the mysterious message.
