What’s Changed Since Operation Midway Blitz?
from In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons · host WBEZ Chicago
It’s been almost a year since the launch of Operation Midway Blitz – a surge in immigration enforcement that led to Chicagoans being apprehended, beaten, shot and even killed by heavily-armed, masked agents roving through residential neighborhoods. Additionally, the agents often escalated situations by using tear gas on residents who were gathered to document ICE activity. In the Loop sits down with rapid responders to hear what’s changed since Midway Blitz, and what immigration enforcement looks like now.GUESTS: Cristóbal Cavazos, executive director, Casa DuPage Workers Center Antonio Gutierrez, strategic coordinator, Organized Communities Against Deportations For a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop.
