Donald Trump has been caught on camera once again preparing what he and the regime are calling Midway Blitz. That is an invasion on America's third largest city, Chicago. And they will be doing more blitzkrieg style military invasions across the country attacking blue cities. What they do first is they send their ICE Gestapo in. They try to harm members of the community. Whether you're a migrant or whether you're a citizen, they round you up, they beat you, they disappear you. And then what they're hoping for is that some of the protests will have any element that's not peaceful and then they use that as a pretext to declare insurrection and then they do invasion. That's what they are looking to do. I'm reminded of this young girl talking about her dad being kidnapped when I show you these other videos behind the kidnappings, behind the putting individuals, human beings into concentration camps. There are young girls like this here, play this clip.

And I'm so right now I give my dad for me. My dad didn't do nothing. He's not a criminal. So the government, governments, please put your heart let my parents be free with everybody else. Please don't leave the child with cryness and everything.

Absolutely, absolutely tragic. Want to share this with you as well. This is near my home. This is in Van Nuys at a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles, California. A restaurant I've been at frequently. ICE slash the tires and shatter the car window, detaining a pregnant woman who is a U.S. citizen. Agents point guns directly at the pregnant woman and two Men just sitting in the park car. They're saying the woman did not comply. Her father said she was simply afraid because there were masked men who jumped her wearing masks and who didn't identify themselves pointing guns in her face. Let me show you this story here. Play this clip.
- [03:23]
D
Now to this A community is on edge tonight after federal authorities stopped a pregnant woman and two other men in Van Nuys smashing her car window with guns drawn. The father of that woman who was briefly detained says the tactics by federal agents were unnecessary and overly aggressive and the occupants of the vehicle are legal residents.
- [03:45]
E
John Finnolio live in Van Nuys with more on what happened. John Good evening everyone. It all went down in front of this Mexican restaurant you see right here. This immigration enforcement stop comes just a day after the Supreme Court temporarily lifted limits on those so called roving ICE patrols in this case here in Van Nuys. It is not clear why federal agents targeted this particular car, but it was a very tense standoff. With guns drawn, masked federal agents shatter the driver side window of a car, grab two men inside and push them to the pavement. A third person in the orange Chevy Camaro, a woman can be heard shouting at one of the agents not to touch her and to identify himself. It all went down in front of this Mexican restaurant on the corner of Kester Avenue and Sherman Way in Van nuys just before 11am Witnesses say the Camaro pulled into the parking lot and was quickly swarmed by unmarked vehicles.
- [04:49]
F
She was so afraid.
- [04:52]
E
Raul Martinez says his daughter, an American citizen, was in the car with her boyfriend and another friend. She was detained but let go. A short time later.
- [05:02]
F
One of ICE officers, she told me she don't complain. She didn't want to get off the cars and she said that's because they, she was afraid because they were pointing guns to them. They, they have masks who know who they are.
- [05:15]
E
Other witnesses say the two men are lawful permanent residents or green card holders and were hauled away from the scene in handcuffs by agents. KTLA has reached out to ICE and the Department of Homeland Security for clarification on why this car was targeted and what reasonable suspicion or probable cause justified the stop. But we have not heard back. The LAPD tells KTLA that a citizen called 911 around 10:45 to report masked men pointing guns at a parked car and people shouting. Police say when officers arrived, they realized it was a federal enforcement operation and stayed on scene until the situation was over. Martinez says he's not aware of any criminal history for the men who were riding with his daughter and believes these tactics are a huge injustice.
- [06:02]
F
They do this to people, hard working people. That's what they do. To me, it's really unfair.
- [06:12]
E
We did reach out to DHS and ICE to ask about the circumstances leading up to this stop, but again, we have not heard back. Earlier today, ICE did send us a statement saying that they are carrying out immigration enforcement operations across the country and that due to the fast pace with which they are carrying out those operations, they are not able to research and respond to questions about every arrest in Van Nuys. I'm John Finolio, KTLA 5 News.

B
Next I want to share this story with you. ICE maliciously trapped two roofers on top of a house during a rain. This was in Rochester. Then 200 protesters came and chased the agents away. Neighbors blocked the ladder leading up to the roof, only allowing water up to the men. After a few hours, agents were scared out of the neighborhood, driving away on deflated tires. Want you to watch this here play.

This clip Hunted by protesters in Rochester, causing a dramatic scene in the city's Park Avenue neighborhood. Tires flattened on a Border Patrol vehicle. A very tense encounter once again casting Rochester in the spotlight as the fiery debate over immigration heats up across the nation. Good afternoon. I'm Matt Malloy.

I'm Karen Edwards. The operation involved ICE agents on Westminster Road where the escalation the situation escalated as 13 whams.

E
Lowell Rose explains he's got new details about that chaotic scene that played out today. Lowell, good evening.
- [07:43]
G
Good evening, Matt and Karen. Dozens of people line the sidewalk in front of a home on Westminster Road today to protest the ICE lead operation. Now Border Patrol could only confirm this was an ICE enforcement operation, but the nature of that investigation remains unclear as we wait for a some immigration officials. A chaotic scene on Westminster Road Tuesday morning in Rochester as federal agents were carrying out an ICE enforcement and removal operation.

H
They're here putting on a roof, trying.
- [08:17]
I
To make a dollar and paying taxes on that dollar and ICE was here bothering them.
- [08:24]
C
So I came to bother ice.

G
Ruth Reeves was among dozens who came to the scene. State Assemblymember Jen Longsworth claims the agents were after people working on a roof.
- [08:34]
I
I showed up today at a call from the New York Immigration Coalition as an attorney out of concern that there needed to be official warrants. This is a private residence, so we just want to make sure that everything is happening within the bounds of the law.
- [08:48]
G
Details from federal authorities are limited, but our cameras captured a Border Patrol vehicle at the scene with flat tires.
- [08:54]
C
And city by city, state by state. We have to stand up, we have to fight, and we have to tell him we're not standing for this anymore.
- [09:02]
G
The incident on Westminster comes as the Trump administration ramps up immigration enforcement across the country and months after the Department of Justice sued the city of Rochester for his sanctuary city policies. Today, border czar Tom Holman commented on the nationwide issue.
- [09:18]
F
President Trump's been clear we're going to prioritize public safety threats and national security threats, and data shows exactly what we're doing. But if you want me to sit here and bless someone being here illegal, I'm not going to do that because they cheated the system.
- [09:30]
G
In response to the large crowd, agents left Westminster and the SUV was towed a few blocks away. Rochester police says it was not involved in the incident today and no one requested their assistance. Federal authorities tell us the vandalism of that border Patrol vehicle is under investigation.

What does feeling safe at home really mean to you? For a long time I thought it was enough to have good locks and maybe an alarm that would make a lot of noise if somebody actually broke in. But after people close to me were broken into, I realized that real security means preventing that break in, that violation of your space from ever happening in the first place. That's why I trust SimpliSafe to protect my home and my family. It's about security that is proactive, not just reactive. Personally, what I love most about SimpliSafe is that I know it's working when I'm not thinking about it. It lets me focus on my day because I know someone is already watching out for the things that matter most. Most systems only take action after something bad happens and that's too late. SimpliSafe's new Active Guard Outdoor Protection helps stop break ins before they happen. Their AI powered cameras and live monitoring agents detect suspicious activity around your property. If someone's lurking, the agents talk to them in real time, turn on spotlights and can call the police proactively deterring crime before it start. There are no contracts, no hidden fees.

Now, here's the thing that we see repeatedly with the ICE Gestapo. They're targeting migrants who are working on construction projects, who are working in factories, who are working in restaurants, who are food vendors outside, who are going to church, who are going to their court appearances. That's what they're doing. They're not going after the gang members. We all agree. Arrest the gang members. We're all good with that. They're arresting innocent Latinos because of how they look. And it is a horrible thing to see. This is footage again, right in my backyard. This is from NBC la. Let me show you what went down here. Playing this clip.

New video in tonight of federal agents detaining several people at a Home Depot in Hollywood. Cell phone video shows them outside the Home Depot this afternoon. This business is located off Sunset boulevard near the 101 in Hollywood. @ least one person was taken into custody. It turned into a tense scene with neighbors and witnesses yelling. Our assignment desk has reached out to Department of Homeland Security for more information on any arrests.

The Trump administration is launching what it calls Operation Midway Blitz. The White House says it's going after what it calls the worst of the worst criminals who are here in the country illegally. And hundreds of Homeland Security officials will help carry out this operation. But some city and state leaders say they don't want it. It's drawn a number of protests even before the Promise operation was launched. Here's more of what state leaders are saying. What we are experiencing today is not normal.

Being snatched from their family members is not normal. Meanwhile, President Trump has not deployed the National Guard to Chicago like we've seen happen in D.C. and Los Angeles. But here on the ground in Chicago, that is a real fear. The White House also releasing a statement naming some of the people that they are targeting in this operation, including a 47 year old who they say has been convicted of battery and aggravated assault, as well as driving under the influence.

Trump Tower is a symbol for protests against the president's immigration policies. Demonstrators have gathered here twice now in response to Operation Midway Blitz now underway. This is new video from FOX News. A crew witnessed the arrest of a 43 year old alleged undocumented immigrant in Cicero. Federal officials say the man is accused of battery and will face federal charges. There were four arrests on the southwest side Sunday. The ICE deputy director says they are going after dangerous people, that their action is aimed also at Illinois for its sanctuary policies. This is an opportunity for us to go into sanctuary cities and work against these sanctuary city policies and not let them deter ICE from being able to do our work. Another march on Michigan Avenue stopped traffic during the evening rush hour. Protesters urged neighbors to get involved. We need to come out and stand up against this administration and the actions that they continue to do to harass us in our own communities. Federal agents will target 1,000 people with criminal records. They are expected to be active in Illinois for the month of September. Joni Lum, Fox, 32, Chicago and I.

Want to share this story with you as well so you can see the effects in other areas. There are so many people, innocent, hard working migrants who just want a fair shake, who have been detained, thrown into concentration camps, deported people who have lived here for decades, who have paid taxes, who have contributed to our country. You'll see right here, their pets have no home. So the great work of people at the Humane Society have had to step in and help out here. Play this clip. As the number of deportations continues to rise under the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration, local pet shelters are feeling the impact.

- [18:38]
H
As ICE arrests and deportations climb, pet rescues across the country are reporting a rise in animals being left behind by deported immigrants. The Humane Society of Broward county tells Local 10 News they've had a handful of pets dropped off in recent months by their deported owners, but the number may be much higher as operations like Miami Dade County Animal Services say they've only recently began tracking this issue.
- [19:09]
D
I think we can all agree across the political board that dogs deserve good homes.

For now, Balato, who already has two dogs, says she'll keep trying to find the siblings a home as she says goodbye to her longtime neighbors.
