Lawsuits seek to hold Midway Blitz agents accountable in lieu of state charges
Six Chicago-area residents filed lawsuits against federal immigration agents alleging harm during Operation Midway Blitz, as Cook County State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke has not filed criminal charges. The lawsuits target agents over incidents including pepper-spraying a father with his 1-year-old, tear-gassing individuals, and violence during arrests.
