In what President Trump has dubbed “Operation Midway Blitz,” federal agents, many of them masked and wearing military garb, and supported by the Texas National Guard, have smashed in doors in Chicago, thrown occupants to the ground, arrested journalists and left naked children with their hands zip-tied behind their backs in the streets.  The raids are intended to identify and deport immigrants in the country without appropriate papers, but have upended the lives of many others, including U.S. citizens.  Even noted conservative, Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, condemned the action, saying “there needs to be a smarter plan than just rounding up every single person and deporting them.”   With all that in the background, we turn now to Grant Sovern, an immigration attorney with the Community Immigration Law Center.
