Chicago officials raise concerns over federal immigration raids in Pilsen
CHICAGO (WGN) — Chicago public officials are raising concerns about whether warrants are being issued and due process is being followed after apparent federal immigration raids in Pilsen. The arresting video, viral on social media, captured what's believed to be federal law enforcement taking two people into custody Monday morning in Pilsen. On Tuesday, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson questioned the legality of the arrests and whether warrants had been issued before the raid. PREVIOUS: 'These incidents that are happening around the country, they're disturbing,' Johnson said. 'You know the 5th and 14th Amendments have laid out a due process, and I believe that it's important that we hold the constitutionality of our nation's laws.' Chicago Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez (25th Ward) confirmed that the men detained are Mexican citizens and confirmed an online post on June 3 that when agents showed up in Little Village again on Tuesday, activists chased them away. 'We are right now investigating the reason why those neighbors have been detained without a warrant,' Sigcho-Lopez said. Addressing the incident, Beatrice Ponce de León, deputy mayor of immigrant, migrant, and refugee rights for the City of Chicago, said that due process is a right that all individuals have. 'We should be able to maintain that in this country,' Ponce de León said. The head of Chicago's immigrant rights office added that the intermittent raids are having a chilling effect on business and life in predominantly immigrant communities in Chicago, such as 26th Street in Little Village, which is among the top sales tax corridors in the city. 'This is bringing instability, bringing fear, uncertainty into communities, and people are starting to react and perhaps, go back into the shadows and not be able to go freely to work or send their children to school,' Ponce de León added. Johnson said he remains troubled by news of interactions, encounters, or alleged raids that do not adhere to the rule of law. 'That's not the type of nation that we've worked hard to secure,' the mayor said.

ASEAN strengthens global engagement, eyes forward-looking partnerships
KUALA LUMPUR: ASEAN is stepping up efforts to deepen cooperation with global partners while focusing on building a stronger, united regional community that promotes peace, trust and respect for international law. In a Chairman's Statement issued following the conclution of the 46th ASEAN Summit today, ASEAN leaders emphasised the importance of maintaining unity and ASEAN Centrality in dealing with external partners. 'We underscored the need to promote an enabling environment for peace, stability and prosperity for all by ensuring a culture of dialogue and cooperation, instead of rivalry, enhancing mutual trust and confidence, and respecting international law,' the statement stated. This approach is part of ASEAN's broader goal to establish a resilient, rules-based regional architecture guided by international law. The ASEAN Summit, which drew leaders and high-level delegations from ASEAN and partner countries, was held under Malaysia's 2025 ASEAN Chairmanship theme 'Inclusivity and Sustainability'. This year marks Malaysia's fifth term as ASEAN Chair, following previous chairmanships in 1977, 1997, 2005, and 2015. The leaders also took note of the growing interest from countries, regional and international organisations in formalising relations and substantive cooperation with ASEAN. The interest reflects the regional grouping's increasing global relevance and unique convening power for diplomacy amid today's geopolitical and geo-economic uncertainties. Looking ahead, ASEAN looks forward to successful outcomes of the following summits slated to be held in conjunction with the 47th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits in October 2025 in Malaysia, namely the 5th ASEAN-Australia Summit, the 28th ASEAN-China Summit, the 28th ASEAN-Japan Summit, the 26th ASEAN-Republic of Korea (ROK) Summit, the 13th ASEAN-United States Summit, and the 22nd ASEAN-India Summit. Significant progress has also been made in formalising Comprehensive Strategic Partnerships, such as the recent ASEAN-ROK partnership, and plans are underway to establish a similar agreement with New Zealand. 'We looked forward to strengthening ASEAN's partnerships with Canada, China, India, New Zealand, the ROK, Russia, the United States, and the United Nations through the successor Plans of Action (POAs) for 2026-2030 as well as a Joint Vision Statement with the United States. 'These instruments will guide the further development of ASEAN's external partnerships in alignment with the ASEAN Community Vision 2045 and its Strategic Plan,' the statement read.

Trump supports no trials for undocumented immigrants before deportation
President Donald Trump believes that undocumented immigrants should not have a right to a trial before they are deported. During an appearance in the Oval Office this week, the 47th president claimed that his administration should be allowed to deport undocumented immigrants without them having to go before a judge. 'We're getting them out, and a judge can't say, 'No, you have to have a trial,'' Trump said. 'The trial is going to take two years. We're going to have a very dangerous country if we're not allowed to do what we're entitled to do.' Under the Constitution, every person in the United States is entitled to due process of law as outlined by the 5th and 14th Amendments. Due process guarantees fair treatment and legal hearings before the government can take away an individual's life, liberty, or property — a guarantee that extends to migrants. In the U.S. Supreme Court case Reno V. Flores, former Justice Antonin Scalia wrote that 'it is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law in deportation proceedings.' Trump, however, claims that the courts are hindering his deportation powers, according to The New York Times. The president also falsely claimed that countries such as Congo and Venezuela had emptied their prisons into the United States and that he and his administration needed to get around due process to expel the immigrants, the Times reported. 'I hope we get cooperation from the courts, because we have thousands of people that are ready to go out, and you can't have a trial for all of these people,' Trump said. 'It wasn't meant. The system wasn't meant. And we don't think there's anything that says that.' Trump's comments come after the nation's highest court temporarily blocked the administration on Saturday from deporting a group of Venezuelan migrants. The administration accused the migrants of being gang members, doing so under the Alien Enemies Act. The president invoked the law last month in order to deport immigrants he accused of being members of the Venezuelan street gang Tren de Aragua. Before Trump invoked the 1798 law, the act had been used only three times in U.S. history. And it has been used during periods of declared war. The Supreme Court, however, ruled that those who are subject to the law must be allowed to challenge their removal. Two weeks ago, the Supreme Court also ordered the administration to facilitate the return of a Salvadoran man living in Maryland who was deported because of an 'administrative error.' The court ordered the White House to facilitate the return of the man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, so that he could go through the United States' legal system, according to the Times. The Trump administration has so far not fulfilled the court's order and posted on social media that Abrego Garcia was 'never coming back.' Democrats have spoken out against the White House's inaction, saying that the administration is denying the man due process. 'I am not defending the man. I'm defending the rights of this man to due process,' U.S. Sen Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., told ABC News' 'This Week' co-anchor Jonathan Karl on Sunday. 'And the Trump administration has admitted in court that he was wrongfully detained and wrongfully deported. My mission and my purpose is to make sure that we uphold the rule of law, because if we take it away from him, we do jeopardize it for everybody else,' Van Hollen said.
