Asian Americans to Democrats: “we want safe streets, good schools and less progressive ideology.”

The Waukegan Police Department initially led the search for Gray, with assistance from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Coast Guard. However, as the search enters its sixth day, the U.S. Navy is now joining the effort to find Gray.

“Naval Station Great Lakes is cooperating with the Waukegan Police Department on the ongoing search for Seaman Gray,” Commander Corey Barker, a spokesperson for the Naval Station, Great Lakes, told ABC7 Chicago. “Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) is also assisting with the investigation.”

The NCIS is the law enforcement agency for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, responsible for conducting criminal investigations, counterintelligence activities, and security operations worldwide.

The addition of the NCIS to the search for Gray suggests that authorities are now considering the possibility of foul play. Speaking to ABC7 Chicago, Commander Barker declined to comment further on the investigation.
