On 'day one,' the Trump administration intends to initiate arrests of illegal immigrants across the United States.
Trump campaigned on making illegal immigration a top priority.
On day one, the Trump administration plans to begin arresting illegal immigrants nationwide, with top officials declaring their intention to "unleash" Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
On Tuesday, the administration intends to conduct a massive raid in Chicago, focusing on individuals with criminal records.
Tom Homan, the incoming border czar, was questioned by Jesse Watters of Planet Chronicle about media reports of a "big raid" in Chicago on Tuesday. However, Homan stated that ICE will be operating nationwide.
On Tuesday, ICE will finally conduct a big raid across the country, with Chicago being just one of the many places. We have 24 field offices across the country, and we will allow ICE to go arrest criminal aliens, as they have been tasked with doing their job.
He stated that ICE will enforce immigration law without apology, focusing on public safety threats first, but no one will be exempt. If someone is in the country illegally, they will face consequences.
ICE has over 7 million individuals on its non-detained docket, and the administration has pledged to deport them all, increase border security, and potentially arrest anyone in the U.S. illegally, with a focus on those with criminal histories and convictions.
A source informed Planet Chronicle Digital that the administration has made it clear that arrests will begin on day one, and Chicago may not be the only location where this will occur.
"Sanctuary" cities that refuse to comply with ICE detainers are likely to face significant opposition from the administration.
Some Democratic officials in Chicago, Massachusetts, and Arizona have stated that they will not collaborate with the administration.
Homan has met with New York City Mayor Eric Adams to discuss ways to collaborate on removing illegal immigrants who have been convicted of violent crimes.
On Friday, DHS nominee Kristi Noem appeared before Congress and endorsed the mass deportation operation and enhanced border security. Additionally, she announced that the administration would promptly discontinue the utilization of the CBP One app, which currently permits migrants to be paroled into the U.S.
