Trump's border czar says immigration raids will begin next week, including in Chicago
Briefly

"On Tuesday, ICE is finally going to go out and do their job. We're going to take the handcuffs off ICE," said Tom Homan during an interview. He added that agents will focus on public safety threats, stating, "If they're in the country illegally, they got a problem." This indicates a significant shift in ICE's enforcement priorities under the new administration.
Beatriz Ponce de Leon, Chicago's deputy mayor for immigrant rights, stated that the confirmation of anticipated immigration raids made the threat more real for the city. She emphasized that Chicago leaders have prepared in advance, hosting events to educate the community on their rights, and collaborating with various city departments to address potential impacts.
