Chicago Prepares For Deportation Arrests Targeting Hundreds Next Week After Trump Takes Office
HuffPost
A U.S. official says immigration officers will target more than 300 people with histories of egregious, violent crimes next week after President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
Federal immigration officers will target more than 300 people with histories of egregious, violent crimes after President-elect Donald Trump takes office Monday, an official said, marking his administration’s initial attempt toward fulfilling his promise of large-scale deportations.
The operation will be concentrated in the Chicago area, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because plans have not been made public. Arrests are expected all week.
U.S. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement arrests a fraction of its targets in such operations, though Trump is expected to cast a wider net than President Joe Biden, whose focus on picking up people away from the border was largely limited to those with serious criminal histories and national security threats. Trump aides have said they will arrest others, such as spouses or roommates, who are not targets but happen to be in the country illegally.
