Federal Immigration Enforcement Intensifies in Chicago

On today's podcast:
1) President Trump started his immigration crackdown in Chicago, with federal agents stepping up enforcement in an escalating campaign against Democratic-run cities. The Department of Homeland Security said Operation Midway Blitz targets “criminal illegal aliens” and blamed Illinois Governor JB Pritzker for sanctuary policies that it said help shield lawbreakers.
2) House Democrats released an alleged birthday note that they said Donald Trump sent to Jeffrey Epstein, raising pressure on the president over questions about his past interactions with the late disgraced financier. The release stems from a trove of documents received by the House Oversight Committee, including a birthday book compiled for Epstein’s 50th birthday and his last will and testament.
3) Investors in the Treasuries market face a test of bullish sentiment this week from inflation reports and a benchmark revisions for jobs data. The market's ability to extend this month's rally will depend on the tone of producer and consumer inflation due Wednesday and Thursday.
