A curious situation occurred recently at the offices of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) in Chicago. A Hispanic mother who was summoned to appear arrived accompanied by two National Guard soldiers, and surprisingly, they were her children.

According to a report by Noticias Telemundo, the young soldiers came with two objectives: to accompany their mother, who has lived in the United States for 20 years, and to allow the uniform to speak for themselves.

Despite having a work permit, the Hispanic woman had received the summons from ICE via text message, a fact that worried her and her children, who decided to accompany her to the office.

The report indicated that they feared a possible deportation, due to the harsh immigration policies that President Donald Trump has implemented since his second arrival at the White House. However, the Hispanic woman was safely released from ICE.

Trump confirms ICE will focus on sanctuary cities

This week, President Donald Trump confirmed that ICE agents will focus on so-called sanctuary cities to detain undocumented immigrants, claiming that most of these people are “criminals.”

“I want [the agents] to focus on the cities, because that’s where the so-called sanctuary cities are, and that’s where the people [undocumented immigrants] live,” Trump said from Canada, where he participated in the G7 Summit.

“I see New York, I see Chicago, I mean, Chicago has a really bad governor and mayor, but the governor is probably the worst in the country, [JB] Pritzker, but I see how that city has been invaded by criminals,” he added.
