The incoming #Trump admin intends to carry out “post-inauguration” #immigration raids in #Chicago next week…an opening step in Trump’s goal to oversee the largest #deportation operation in American history.
The plan, called “Operation Safeguard” by Immigration & Customs Enforcement [#ICE], would start on Tuesday, the day after Trump is inaugurated, & last until the following Monday…. The dates were still being finalized, however, & could change.

In response to this postThe 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.

For #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.
