The former director of ICE, John Sandweg, has spoken out about the challenges faced by federal agents under President Trump's immigration crackdown. Sandweg argues that the administration's policies have put agents in a difficult position, where they are tasked with operations in cities like Chicago, which they do not belong in. This has led to a series of incidents, including vehicle crashes and forceful takedowns, which have been captured on cellphone video and gone viral. The use of tear gas by federal agents in Chicago has sparked concern and legal action, with a federal judge ordering agents to wear body cameras in response to a lawsuit filed by media organizations. The DHS has responded to the viral clips by claiming that they show a dangerous trend of illegal aliens and agitators obstructing and attacking law enforcement. However, some experts, like Jerry Robinette, argue that the situation is stressful for both sides, and that the U.S. is in uncharted territory with these immigration raids and protests.
