Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is replacing ICE leadership at 12 of the 25 ICE field offices nationwide with Border Patrol officials who will take over immigration enforcement in those regions as President Trump demands more arrests. Meanwhile, Chicago continues to be a focus of the administration's immigration crackdown. We speak with Hoan Huynh, an Illinois state representative, who was confronted by federal agents as he was filming them after getting alerted to their presence in his district by a rapid response network. The "officers came to the passenger window of the car that I was in and pointed a gun to my head," he says, calling the actions of federal agents in Chicago "unconstitutional."
