CHICAGO (WLS) -- An Illinois group is expected to reveal results from its investigation into Operation Midway Blitz.

Governor Pritzker created the Illinois Accountability Commission to document the actions of federal agents.

The Illinois Accountability Commission has invited current and former Trump Administration officials like Kristi Noem and Gregory Bovino to attend the public hearings.

It's unclear if they will show up Monday.

The commission was established by Governor JB Pritzker.



There will be two public hearings this week that are expected to reveal results of ongoing investigations surrounding actions of federal agents during Operation Midway Blitz.

The commission is expected to show footage and listen to witness testimony from incidents that took place during the operation.

The commission is tasked with documenting the impact of Operation Midway Blitz and then making recommendations for accountability and reform.

Some local leaders hope the findings will limit plans of more large scale immigration enforcement.

Monday's hearing starts at noon.
