Summary

The incoming Trump administration plans to intensify ICE operations in major U.S. cities, particularly targeting “sanctuary” jurisdictions, to arrest unauthorized immigrants after Trump’s inauguration.

Sources indicate large-scale raids, including in areas like Chicago, as part of a promised immigration crackdown.

Biden-era enforcement guidelines, which focused on serious criminals and recent border-crossers, are expected to be rescinded, making nearly all undocumented immigrants subject to arrest.

Incoming “border czar” Tom Homan also aims to revive workplace raids and expand collateral arrests during operations, signaling a significant shift in immigration policy.
