flag Federal claims of reduced Chicago crime post-Operation Midway Blitz are disputed by city officials, who cite pre-existing trends and damaged trust due to clashes with agents.

flag The Trump administration's DHS claims credit for a drop in Chicago crime since September's Operation Midway Blitz, citing reduced shootings and robberies. flag However, city data shows crime was already declining before federal agents arrived, following a national trend. flag Mayor Brandon Johnson and Alderman Brian Hopkins rejected the federal attribution, criticizing aggressive tactics including tear-gassing police and pepper-spraying a one-year-old, which they say damaged public trust. flag While the city supports targeted federal help, it opposes the current approach. flag Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino is set to leave Chicago for a similar operation in Charlotte, North Carolina, as tensions persist over federal involvement in local public safety.
