The incoming Trump administration has announced plans for large-scale immigration enforcement beginning on its first day, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) set to target illegal immigrants across the United States.
According to officials, the operation will focus on individuals with criminal histories but will not exclude others in the country unlawfully.
Tom Homan, the incoming ‘Border Czar’, confirmed the nationwide initiative to Fox News, highlighting Chicago as one of many cities where arrests are planned.
Homan said ICE would enforce immigration laws “without apology,” prioritising public safety threats but signaling that no illegal immigrant is off-limits. The initiative is part of the administration’s broader commitment to ramping up deportations and strengthening border security, following the disastrous four years of the outgoing Biden/Harris administration.
While the administration has pledged swift action, significant resistance is anticipated from sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with ICE.
Democratic officials in states like Illinois, Massachusetts, and Arizona have voiced their opposition, although some, like New York City Mayor Eric Adams, are exploring collaboration on cases involving violent offenders.
The Department of Homeland Security nominee, Kristi Noem, testified in Congress in support of the plan, endorsing enhanced border measures and the immediate termination of programmes like the CBP One app, which currently allows for migrant entry under parole. The mass deportation strategy underscores the administration’s tough stance on illegal immigration, a central theme of President-elect Trump’s campaign.
