The records confirm "the worst thoughts that we had about the operation," Mark Fleming, the associate director of federal litigation at the National Immigrant Justice Center, told NPR.

"This is the most brazen #unconstitutional #UseOfForce in an operation that I've seen in my entire career," he said. "They have no legal authority to be addressing purported #squatters; that is not within the purview of the #FederalGovernment."

But arrest records for two of the men show the government's stated reason for the raid was to take out #squatters, not #gang members. The documents were included in a motion filed in an ongoing case challenging #warrantless #arrests in #Chicago.

In the documents, #DHS stated "this operation was based on intelligence that there were illegal aliens unlawfully occupying apartments in the building." There is no mention of criminal gangs or Tren de Aragua.
