John,
BIG NEWS: Free Speech For People has filed a formal request [[link removed]] urging Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke, and Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling to open criminal investigations into the unlawful actions of federal agents operating in Illinois under the Trump administration’s so-called “Operation Midway Blitz.”
The filing details an escalating pattern of criminal activity by federal agents conducted across Cook County in September and October 2025, including unlawful detentions, violent assaults, destruction of property, kidnappings, and racially motivated targeting of communities of color. Our letter alleges that these acts were part of a coordinated criminal conspiracy directed by President Donald Trump and senior administration officials, intended not to enforce federal law but to punish and terrorize immigrants and political opponents.
ADD YOUR NAME: Tell Illinois officials to investigate “Operation Midway Blitz.” [[link removed]]

In the weeks following the operation’s launch, federal agents have engaged in a series of violent and unlawful actions, including:
* Killing Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, an unarmed driver, without cause;
* Raiding homes without warrants or probable cause;
* Rappelling from helicopters and deploying military vehicles in residential neighborhoods;
* Separating families and detaining children without due process;
* Assaulting clergy and elected officials, including the shooting of Pastor David Black and the detention of Alderwoman Jessie Fuentes; and
* Targeting and arresting protesters, journalists, and community leaders engaged in constitutionally protected activities.
Federal agents do not have a license to commit crimes. The Constitution does not give the president or his subordinates permission to terrorize communities of color or weaponize law enforcement against political opponents. Illinois law applies equally to everyone, including the president.
When federal officials become the perpetrators of violence and illegality, it falls to the states to defend the rule of law. Illinois must not wait for and, with this lawless administration, cannot rely on Washington to police itself.
