Trump Administration Reviews Plans for ICE Raids in Chicago Amid Public Concern

The Trump administration, led by Tom Homan, is reviewing plans for extensive ICE raids in Chicago scheduled to start January 21. The operation will target undocumented immigrants with criminal histories, emphasizing public safety. Local officials, including Governor Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Johnson, defend sanctuary policies, while community organizers prepare resources for residents to know their rights. Amid resistance from sanctuary cities, advocates seek to reassure immigrants about their legal protections against the anticipated raids, echoing fears from past policies that have historically separated families.
