ICE, DEA & FBI Strike in Chicago — Operation Midway Blitz Exposes Cartel Network Hidden in America’s Heartland. In a massive pre-dawn raid, federal agents from ICE, the DEA, and the FBI executed Operation Midway Blitz—a high-intensity crackdown targeting cartel-linked illegal migrant networks operating across Chicago and the Midwest.

Over 98 suspects were arrested, and 4.3 tons of narcotics, weapons, and millions in cash were seized in one of the largest joint operations in recent history. Supported by U.S. Military intelligence and advanced surveillance, the coordinated strike unfolded simultaneously across Cicero, Brighton Park, and Bridgeview, exposing deep ties between transnational cartels and domestic trafficking routes.

Officials describe the mission as a strategic strike designed to dismantle infiltration networks hiding behind migration routes—a rare glimpse into the shadow war fought inside America’s own cities.
