Chairman of Monroe County Republicans, Ed McLean

Ed McLean, chairman of Monroe County Republicans, said that federal officials, with President Trump's approval, launched significant operations on January 26 to remove dangerous illegal migrants. McLean expressed his views to SW Illinois News on February 3.

"Under President Trump, federal authorities are making real progress in removing the dangerous illegal migrants destabilizing Chicago's communities," said McLean. "On January 26, ICE initiated major operations to target and deport these individuals, with full backing from the FBI, DEA, and ATF. This marks a pivotal move toward restoring safety and security across the city. President Trump's administration is proving it will fight relentlessly for a safer Illinois."
