Chicago Students Track ICE Raids with Maps
Students at Loyola University and other Chicago schools are using maps to track where immigration agents are making arrests.
They started this because people were scared and needed to know what was really happening.
The students use photos and videos to confirm where agents have been seen.
Other journalists in Chicago are also working together to share information about these raids.
The government says they are targeting criminals, but local officials say the raids are causing fear in the community.
The students hope their maps can help people stay safe and know what's true.
Chicago students are using Google Maps to track ICE raid sightings near their campuses.
The effort began in response to fear and rumors about ICE activities in the community.
Multiple universities, including Loyola and the University of Chicago, are collaborating to share information.
DHS confirms over 4,300 arrests as part of Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago.
Local officials and journalists are working together to provide accurate information and counter misinformation.
