President Donald Trump's administration has directed U.S. prosecutors to criminally probe state and local officials who resist immigration enforcement efforts, intensifying a sweeping crackdown that Trump launched the day he took office.

Activists monitoring for immigration arrests said they had seen no activity, but the threat of deportations continues and the local community should remain alert.

I’m in Chicago where immigration raids are rumored. A restaurant owner just broke down crying, she lost 30% of her clientele, they’re staying indoors. “Esto se va a poner feo.” whether there are raids here or not the $ blow, fear is already here. And people say that’s the point.
