Large-scale raids targeting undocumented migrants are set to begin under the Trump administration. The operations, led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), focus on sanctuary cities like Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles, which limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

Officials plan to detain migrants, including those without criminal records, while workplace raids and potential removal of church protections are anticipated. Migrant families are seeking legal advice amid rising fears. Additionally, Congress is considering the Laken Riley Act, which mandates detention of migrants suspected of criminal activity.
