Donald Trump, who returns to the White House on Monday, plans to quickly implement one of his election promises, carrying out what he describes as “the largest deportation operation in the history” of the United States . According to the Wall Street Journal, the day after his inauguration, his administration is planning a vast raid against illegal immigration, with a first wave of operations planned for Tuesday morning. According to four sources familiar with the matter, these interventions should begin in Chicago and extend over a week in this city. The American immigration and customs authorities plan to send between 100 and 200 agents there, according to the American daily.
“There will be arrests in New York. There will be some in Miami,” a source informed of the matter told Reuters, however refuting the idea of mobilizing additional agents specifically in Chicago.
The Trump administration would initially focus on illegal immigrants with criminal records, such as traffic violations. His team was, however, warned that, during these interventions, other people in an illegal situation, although without prior records, could also be arrested, specifies the “Wall Street Journal”.
