#Trump ofcls reassessing post-inauguration #Chicago #raids after plans leaked

Trump’s handpicked “border czar” #TomHoman said…the incoming admin is reconsidering whether to launch #immigration raids in Chicago next week after preliminary details leaked in news reports.

“We’re looking at this leak & will make a decision based on this leak. It’s unfortunate because anyone leaking law enforcement operations puts officers at greater risk,” Homan, said.

#ICE has been planning a large operation in the #Chicago area for next week that would start after Inauguration Day & would bring in additional officers to ramp up #arrests….

#TomHoman said he did not know why Chicago “became a focus of attention” & said the incoming admin’s enforcement goals are much broader than one city.

“#ICE will start arresting public safety threats & national security threats on day one,” #TomHoman said. “We’ll be arresting people across the country, uninhibited by any prior administration guidelines. Why Chicago was mentioned specifically, I don’t know.”

“This is nationwide thing,” he added. “We’re not sweeping neighborhoods. We have a targeted enforcement plan.”

The seesawing reports of possible #raids in #Chicago can stir up fears that advance the admin’s broader enforcement goals, even if operations are postponed or shifted to other cities. #TomHoman & other #Trump aides say they want immigrants living in the United States illegally to once more fear arrest & choose to leave the country on their own, or “self-deport.”

All administrations have made arresting criminals a top priority, & #ICE officer teams typically develop target lists of immigrants who have disregarded #deportation orders.Officers may also #arrest other immigrants who cannot prove they have legal status, a tactic the agency refers to as “collateral arrests.” Biden largely banned such arrests in hopes that Congress would pass a law making #undocumented immigrants eligible for #citizenship.

…#TomHoman …& other incoming #Trump ofcls have said repeatedly that they are planning to immediately switch into enforcement mode, & that any of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the #US illegally could be a target.

…Homan said at a holiday party last month in #Chicago that the admin would start raids “right here” & threatened to prosecute Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) for harboring undocumented immigrants if he got in the way.

#TomHoman declined to confirm details about a possible deployment in #Chicago & said operational plans are left up to regional #ICE offices. It would be unusual for an admin to be involved in law enforcement planning operations before the presidential #transition is complete, though Homan acknowledged he has engaged in some preliminary discussions about enforcement.

“We just told them: Put your boots on,” Homan said.

News of next week’s #raids leaked after the #Chicago City Council decisively rejected an effort to allow city police to cooperate with immigration enforcement. “We intend to stand by & protect Chicago’s immigrant communities against threats from ICE,” Mayor Johnson said Wednesday after the vote.
