The mayor of Chicago declared martial law after the Great Fire in 1871. The
military occupation ended days later, after the death of a civilian. We look back at
that history and get the help of legal experts to answer these questions: Was
Operation Midway Blitz — the Trump administration's aggressive immigration
enforcement campaign in Chicago — an example of martial law? What is martial law,
anyway?
