As soon as the Trump administration began its immigration crackdown in Chicago—known as Operation Midway Blitz—teenage brothers Ben and Sam Luhmann stepped up to the front lines.
Armed with phone and body cameras, Ben and Sam patrol the Chicago suburbs in hopes of tracking ICE agents and filming raids they see as unwarranted and unjustified. The teens are both homeschooled, and dedicate five hours each day to help a rapid-response network of volunteers that documents ICE raids and assists families of those detained in the arrests.
The News Movement’s Dan Ming joined Ben and Sam on patrol to see the effects of President Trump’s immigration enforcement—and meet the communities pushing back.
