Map: Where ICE was seen in Chicago
We’re collecting photos from the public of federal immigration enforcement in the greater Chicago area, recorded since Trump announced his “blitz” campaign. We’re adding images after they are reviewed and approved for publication. [Update: As of 10-3-2025, we’re also posting photos of other federal agents in Chicago.]

About this map
The goal of the map is to give our readers clearer understanding of the current deployment of ICE and other federal agents to Chicago into public spaces. Using a combination of photos submitted by the public and images produced by our newsroom, the resulting visualization may help illustrate the reach and scope of the operation but not its full impact. The community submitted photos are reviewed by journalists before publication and do not reflect where agents are in real-time. Read more about how the map works and why we made it.
