"President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly beginning phase one of his mass deportation as early as Tuesday, the day after his inauguration. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration is planning a large-scale immigration raid in Chicago that day. The raid is expected to last all week, WSJ reports. The WSJ reported that Los Angeles, New York, Denver, and Miami "are also in the incoming administration’s sights, and more targeted raids could come."

Months before the upcoming inauguration, Trump's incoming "border czar" Tom Homan said Chicago would be "ground zero" for the proposed mass deportations.

"If the Chicago mayor doesn’t want to help, he can step aside. But if he impedes us, if he knowingly harbors or conceals an illegal alien, I will prosecute him," Homan was quoted back in late 2024, according to WSJ's report."
