The incoming Trump administration is set to initiate its promised mass deportation campaign with a large-scale immigration raid in Chicago on Tuesday. According to multiple sources familiar with the planning, the operation will involve between 100 and 200 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. This raid is described as the first move in President-elect Donald Trump's plan for what he has termed the 'largest deportation program in American history.' The action in Chicago is intended to send a message to 'sanctuary cities,' which are known for protecting migrants and not assisting federal authorities in enforcing immigration laws.
