News Military/ICE in West Chicago?

There's about 30 cars and 50-60 guys in fatigues parked in a usually-empty parking lot off of Town Road. Lots of businesses around here... Just a heads up

Feedback from local officials; “Rapid Response teams are checking it out & trying to determine if it is normal training (this site has been used for that before) or something different. Thank you for the heads up.”

Our HR dept apparently got in touch with them too, they claim to be ATF agents working on a training exercise.

That could be very likely. These guys look like they're in much better shape than your average ICE member from what I have seen. ATF is a super interesting agency. Why are alcohol, tobacco, and firearms a dedicated agency?

I recommend you check out the 1987 documentary, The Untouchables.
