I hope this helps. The quote is an alderman being interviewed by Chicago Block Club
Prior to Homans confirmation that plans to raid Chicago werent set in stone yet, Ald. Andre Vasquez (40th) told Block Club he and other city officials were privately doubting the Trump administrations ability to mobilize ICE so soon after taking office.
I dont believe [the Trump administration] really has the resources to really amp up the way theyre starting to, but they want people to believe a big change is happening, Vasquez explained. It is really all about the communication and messaging.
