Chicago police investigating why cops were told to report 'migrant arrests' to the feds

The Chicago Police Department is investigating after officers were directed to alert federal law enforcement officials about "migrant arrests" involving people with tattoos or clothing associated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

The directive was included in a daily briefing in October 2023 at the Near West District, where some new arrivals were living at the time.

It highlighted the arrest of a man who had tattoos that “represent the Venezuelan prison gang known as Tren de Aragua,” according to a slide from the briefing.
