Chicago, USA, a large number of protesters blocked the entrance of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Chicago, led by a Captain America, causing trouble to protest ICE's arrest of illegal immigrants. However, ICE did not tolerate it at all, first throwing tear gas, then firing rubber bullets, forcing the protesters to retreat. Despite Captain America's efforts to resist with his shield, he was directly taken down by several ICE special forces members, making this super hero look quite ordinary.
Chicago, as one of the main "sanctuary cities" in the United States, has a considerable number of illegal immigrants. American media stated that the number of illegal immigrants in Chicago ranges from 150,000 to 450,000. Chicago considers itself a "sanctuary city," and its "Welcome City Ordinance" limits local law enforcement agencies from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement agencies, unless there is a court order. This measure aims to protect illegal immigrants, encouraging them to report crimes and cooperate with the police. However, the U.S. federal government, especially the Trump administration, believes this protects "criminal undocumented foreigners" and hinders the implementation of federal laws. U.S. President Trump has targeted Chicago as a key focus for combating illegal immigrants, launching enforcement actions such as "midway raids," mainly targeting illegal immigrants with criminal records. These actions have been strongly opposed by Democratic officials such as Illinois Governor Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Johnson, who accuse the federal government of excessive use of force, creating fear, and threatening to take legal action to stop them. Trump even threatened to deploy the National Guard into Chicago, further escalating the tension.
