Chicago federal intervention: Tracking surge in immigration enforcement operations | Live updates

On CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday night, President Donald Trump said it will take "a lot of time" before his administration declares "mission accomplished" on its immigration enforcement efforts.

In a Hyde Park yarn shop on Sunday, residents came together, not to knit, but to assemble whistle kits, the kind that are being handed out in neighborhoods across the city to alert people when federal agents are in the area.

"I think all of us feel a little bit helpless, and we're all trying to find that little niche and that little way we can help out," said Tina Miklas with Fiber Friend Studios.

"I have been looking for a way to be a part of the resistant, to find a way to help, because it's very hard to watch all the things that are going on," said volunteer Beth Chipchak.

The event, which drew in folks from across the city, took place just hours before "60 Minutes" broadcasted an interview with Trump in which he was asked about some of the violent actions federal agents have been seen taking against those taking part in that resistance. He was asked if some of the raids have gone too far.

"No, I think they haven't gone far enough, because we've been held back by the judges, by the liberal judges who were put in by Biden and by Obama," Trump said.

When asked if he's OK with the tactics being used, the president responded, "Yeah, because you've got to get the people out."

Meanwhile, in west suburban Addison, some remain on edge. One week after agents were seen breaking an SUV's windows and arresting two people at La Huerta supermarket, they were back again on Sunday, causing an immediate reaction from rapid response teams in the area.

"We are a diverse community, and I do feel they are targeting Addison specifically because we do have a huge immigrant population. And they are here to intimidate and terrorize the community," said rapid responder Maria Sinkule.

Trump stood his ground in that "60 Minutes" interview, insisting that those being arrested and deported, are, as he and others in his administration have said over and over, "the worst of the worst." According to the Department of Homeland Security, more than 3,000 people have been arrested during operation "Midway Blitz." Click here for more.

In Skokie, people rushed out of their homes on Harding Avenue as, they said, federal agents targeted two plumbers working on a property on Friday afternoon.

Customs and Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino was seen leading operations on the ground.

Witnesses said the two workers are U.S. citizens and did not end up getting detained as federal agents abruptly left the area.

Morgan Krupinsk, the homeowner who hired those workers, said it was disturbing to see them targeted.

Krupinsk says he voted for President Donald Trump in the election, but he no longer believes these operations are being carried out properly.

"I mean, two workers, American citizens, working on my lawn, for them to stop and profile them and ask them for papers, there's no constitutional right for them to do that," Krupinsk said. Click here for more.

An appeals court ruled in favor of the Trump administration Friday and stopped a judge from trying to get daily updates from a Border Patrol official about the government's immigration crackdown in the Chicago area.

The court said the order from U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis put her "in position of an inquisitor rather than that of a neutral adjudicator" and would have turned her into a supervisor of Greg Bovino, a violation of the separation of powers.

Ellis, concerned about allegations of excessive force and the use of tear gas against protesters, wanted daily updates from Bovino, starting Wednesday. But the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals intervened that day and suspended the order before further freezing it Friday. Click here for more.

When Jose Jeronimo Guardian showed up at a Spanish language traffic court this week, he didn't expect to be detained and face expulsion from a country he'd lived in for more than two decades.

Guardian, 48, was scheduled to appear Monday in a courtroom where a county-provided translator would aid communication with about a dozen Spanish-speaking defendants who face charges from traffic infractions like his - two charges of driving under the influence of alcohol - to serious felony charges.

Guardian never made it into the courtroom.

Instead, an agent who said he was from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement questioned him in a lobby of the Clinton County Courthouse, handcuffed him, then loaded him into the back of an unmarked car and drove him to a Missouri detention center where he would await deportation.

Detentions at state and county courthouses would be banned under legislation passed early Friday morning. The state legislature approved a bill barring immigration arrests in and around county courthouses, and nearby parking lots and sidewalks. House Bill 1312, which would also allow Illinois residents to sue for civil rights violations, still must be signed by Gov. JB Pritzker.

Though instances of ICE detentions in Illinois have been centered on Chicago since President Donald Trump began "Operation Midway Blitz" in September, Gov. JB Pritzker said Tuesday there has been an uptick recently in ICE activity in central and southern Illinois.

"They are literally targeting people who are brown and Black, whether you are undocumented or not, and they are tackling people, detaining people for hours, zip-tying people who are U.S. citizens. So, they're indiscriminately grabbing people who don't look like the ICE agents, typically, and holding them or mistreating them," Pritzker said. Click here for more,
