The Real Story Behind the Midnight Immigration Raid on a Chicago Apartment Building

Federal agents conducted a midnight raid on a Chicago apartment building in September 2025, detaining 37 immigrants. The Trump administration initially claimed the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had seized the building, but newly released documents reveal the actual motivation was arresting "illegal aliens unlawfully occupying apartments." The building's owner provided federal agents with consent to search the complex, and no criminal charges have been filed against anyone arrested four months later.
