STORYLINE:
The Trump administration has informed Chicago-area officials that its promised immigration enforcement surge will operate seven days a week for about six weeks, according to the mayor of a suburb that houses an immigration processing center.
Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson said in a letter to the village’s roughly 8,000 residents this week that the Trump administration told village officials that a two-story building used to temporarily hold immigrants before they’re detained or deported will serve as the “primary processing location” for the expected operation.
She said local leaders were told the operation will run for approximately 45 days, but she didn’t say when it might start.
Officials in the village just west of Chicago declined to elaborate Thursday, saying they were focused on the safety of residents, police and businesses.
Area resident Alexandra Gomez, whose family owns a gilding business nearby, is concerned about the implications not only for her family’s business, but for her children, who are mixed race.
"I’ve had conversations with them about preparing to have extra documentation," Gomez said, "But nobody ever wants to have that conversation with their kid."
