The size of the planned op is unclear. #ICE routinely conducts #deportations in cities throughout the #US. But the agency is taking additional steps to ramp up enforcement for the op & tied it to #Trump’s inauguration in a message sent to personnel…
Hundreds of agents were asked to volunteer & participate in the “post-inauguration” operation targeting immigrants in the US illegally. ICE is planning on sending ~150 agents to #Chicago for the raids.

In response to this postFor #Trump, the *optics* of #immigration agents sporting ballistic gear & arresting immigrants with uncertain or contested status in a #Democratic-led city could be enough. The incoming admin is eager to find ways to send a message that it is cracking down on undocumented immigrants & punishing so-called #SanctuaryCities — communities like #Chicago that refuse to hand over immigrants detained by the police to federal immigration authorities.

Don Terry, a spox for the #Chicago police, said the dept would not “intervene or interfere with any other government agencies performing their duties,” but said it “does not document immigration status” & “will not share information with federal immigration authorities.”
#TomHoman, #Trump’s pick to oversee his promised #MassDeportations, has said the public should expect #immigration action in the early days of the Trump presidency that creates “shock & awe.”
