CHICAGO – Mass deportation raids threatened in Chicago could start as soon as Tuesday, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.

President-elect Donald Trump and his incoming border czar Tom Homan have threatened to begin the raids in Chicago in the lead up to the new administration.

According to the Wall Street Journal, four people familiar with the planning said on the day after Trump’s inauguration, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will send “between 100 and 200 officers” for the operation.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson have said the city’s law forbids CPD from coordinating with ICE.

Chicago Public Schools, the Chicago Transit Authority, the Chicago Park District and Community Colleges of Chicago have all been directed not to allow ICE access into any of its buildings.

This reflects a significant oversight by the incoming administration. It seems that hate has overshadowed logic. Immigration courts are likely to become severely backlogged, putting legal immigration at serious risk. Eventually, this is bound to have a profound impact on them.
