Sat Jan 18 02:15:54 UTC 2025: ## Trump Administration to Launch Massive Immigration Raid in Chicago
**Washington, D.C. —** President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration plans a large-scale immigration raid in Chicago, beginning the day after his inauguration, according to a Friday report in the Wall Street Journal. The operation, involving 100-200 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, is expected to last a week.
Incoming border czar Tom Homan reportedly stated the administration intends to start its deportation efforts in Chicago, threatening to prosecute Mayor Lori Lightfoot should she impede the operation or knowingly harbor undocumented immigrants. This aggressive stance aligns with Trump’s campaign promises, which included launching “the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.” The administration is expected to utilize multiple government agencies to achieve record deportations, building upon similar efforts during his first term. Trump’s transition team has yet to respond to requests for comment.
