US President Donald Trump’s administration will carry out mass arrests of illegal immigrants across the country starting Tuesday, said a senior official who will take office.
There will be actions across the country. Chicago is just another placesaid Friday on the American channel Fox News Tom Homan, former director of the agency responsible for border control and immigration (ICE) and who will be in charge of borders in the Trump administration.
He was reacting to information published by the Wall Street Journal and other American media.
This would be one of the first actions taken by President Trump, who will be inaugurated on Monday. The Republican promised during his campaign to deport millions of undocumented migrants in what would be the largest expulsion of illegal immigrants in U.S. history. Tuesday, theICE will go out and finally do his job. We will allow them to arrest foreign criminals. What we say toICEis that you will apply immigration law without apologizingadded Mr. Homan, described by the new president as border tsar.
You’re going to focus first on the worst, on the threats to public safety, but no one is excluded. If they are in an irregular situation, they have a problemhe insisted.
According to the Wall Street Journal, citing four people familiar with the operations, the arrests are expected to begin Tuesday in Chicago and would last all weekinvolving 100 to 200 agents of theICE.
Chicago is one of the American cities run by Democrats and which declared itself sanctuaries for migrants.
