Trump dealt a blow as hundreds detained in immigration crackdown ordered to be freed

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered hundreds of people detained in Chicago during "Operation Midway Blitz" to be released on bond, according to reports.

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings ordered the Department of Justice to review remaining arrests through Wednesday and see if they fall under the category of people who were identified not to have mandatory detention orders and not pose a significant risk, ABC7 Chicago reports.

The DOJ must have the list by Nov. 19, and bond must be granted by noon on Nov. 21. It's unclear exactly how many people will be released.
