Why do you think Chicagoans and Illinoisans are so hostile to ICE/CBP?

Reportedly, [ICE is set to draw down operations in Chicago soon](https://archive.is/YOJCp):

>Federal immigration agents part of the Trump administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz” may soon leave Chicago, according to multiple sources who said the controversial mission was rapidly winding down after a contentious two months of enforcement raids that have set the city and suburbs on edge.

>Cmdr. Gregory Bovino, the top official on the ground leading the Trump administration’s efforts, was expected to depart Chicago for another assignment within days, and most of the Border Patrol agents under this command would soon be redeployed elsewhere, three sources told the Tribune Monday.

>An on-call task force composed of FBI and assistant U.S. attorneys is also expected to close up shop in the coming days, the sources said.

Their presence in our town has been controversial, to say the least, with constant protests accompanying virtually every detention, rapid response teams using whistles to warn neighbors that ICE is coming/taking down information from people as they are detained, etc.

**Why do you think we are so angry at them? Why has their reception been near-universally hostile?**
