The Trump administration is set to launch an aggressive immigration enforcement operation on its first full day in office.
According to ICE’s “border tsar,” Tom Homan, raids targeting illegal migrants are planned nationwide, starting with sanctuary cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York.
“We’ll be arresting public safety threats and national security threats on day one,” Homan told Fox News, emphasizing “targeted enforcement operations” to detain individuals with criminal histories.
Concerns are rising in immigrant communities, with Reverend Emma Lozano in Chicago questioning the human impact: “Will families be divided? Who will care for the children?”
Polls show growing public support for stricter border policies, with 55% of Americans backing mass deportations.
However, civil rights groups like the ACLU have vowed to challenge these actions in court.
The administration plans to resume workplace raids and prioritize sanctuary cities, signaling a shift from the previous administration’s enforcement priorities.
