President Donald Trump<\/a> said Tuesday that violent crime in Chicago has fallen sharply since the start of a federal crackdown known as “Operation Midway Blitz<\/a>,” crediting the Department of Homeland Security-led effort with driving shootings and robberies down across the Windy City.<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s Truth Social post claimed that shootings are down 35%, robberies down 41% and carjackings nearly 50% since the operation began several weeks ago.<\/p>\n

“This has been achieved despite the extraordinary resistance from Chicago and Illinois Radical Democrat leadership<\/a>,” Trump wrote.<\/p>\n

The post marks the president\u2019s first public update on the initiative since late October, when DHS confirmed nine arrests, including three illegal immigrants, following what officials described as “one of the most violent days” of the operation.<\/p>\n

According to DHS statements<\/a> obtained by Fox News Digital, agents faced multiple assaults and vehicle rammings during coordinated Oct. 22 raids in the Chicago suburbs of Cicero and Glendale Heights.<\/p>\n

DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin called it “one of the most violent days we\u2019ve had,” confirming that one agent was injured and several patrol units were damaged. The raids targeted violent offenders and previously deported foreign nationals<\/a> with criminal records.<\/p>\n

The operation\u2019s namesake honors Katie Abraham, a Chicago-area resident killed in September in a hit-and-run involving a suspected illegal immigrant.<\/p>\n

DHS MARKS ‘ONE OF THE MOST VIOLENT DAYS’ OF OPERATION MIDWAY BLITZ WITH SEVERAL ARRESTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Midway Blitz,” launched in September, is part of a broader DHS initiative aimed at “criminal illegal aliens terrorizing Americans in sanctuary Illinois,” according to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem<\/a>, who said suspects who attacked agents “will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s post also reignited tensions with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, both of whom have previously opposed large-scale immigration raids. The president accused them of obstructing enforcement and “encouraging violent resistance against ICE officers.”<\/p>\n

Trump said the next phase of “Midway Blitz” will include a “full surge” of federal agents in Chicago<\/a> and Memphis, claiming the first wave has already delivered measurable results.<\/p>\n

“As we ramp up more assets, these numbers will continue to drop,” he wrote Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Illinois governor\u2019s office and the Chicago mayor\u2019s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital\u2019s requests for comment. The White House directed Fox News Digital back to the President’s comments on Truth Social.<\/p>\n
