U.S. immigration authorities are set to carry out mass arrests of undocumented immigrants on Tuesday, a senior border official in President Donald Trump’s incoming administration has announced. The operation aligns with Trump’s campaign promise to deport millions of undocumented immigrants from the United States.
The raids, which mark one of the Republican president’s first major actions after returning to the White House on Monday, will commence in Chicago. Reports indicate that up to 200 officers will be deployed in the city as part of the crackdown.
This move underscores Trump’s commitment to his hardline stance on immigration, a key pillar of his policy agenda during his campaign. Further details about the scope and timeline of the operation remain unclear.
The announcement has sparked widespread reactions, with critics voicing concerns about the potential impact on immigrant communities and the methods of enforcement.
