Description

Since Operation Midway Blitz began in September, we have covered dozens of protests, hundreds of detainments, and growing violence from the federal government. But for unhoused Chicagoans detained by agents, what happens when there are no cameras and little record of their disappearance? The Chicago Reader’s Katie Prout has been working to track how many unhoused Chicagoans have been detained and what the city is doing to provide more protections as their own encampment clearings continue.
