When Border Patrol agents who took part in Operation Midway Blitz left Chicagoland last November, then-Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin asserted “we aren’t leaving Chicago.” The same day, reporters with the Sun-Times warned a government source told them that federal immigration agents may return in strength come spring. But as McLaughlin said, they never really left.

When two Catholic priests and a nun went to deliver eucharist and ashes to the Broadview facility on Ash Wednesday — the fruits of another court victory — they did not report 150 people held in one room like Moreno González did. In fact they found no one was being held in the facility at all when they arrived.

They have been continuing operations, and arresting people who go in for check-ins, so how do they go from so overcrowded that there is 150 people in a room, to having no one? The article about the Ash Wednesday visit speculates that the clergy were specifically arranged to arrive when no one was there, but if we are to believe that no one was there (rather than it was just a lie) then where were the detainees?

Yeah that is a troubling question...
