NBC News has obtained a document revealing the incoming Trump administration's plans for a major immigration enforcement operation in at least one U.S. city. While the specific city is unknown, sources familiar with the planning suggest early enforcement could target Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Denver, or Chicago.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials are planning a major enforcement operation that will target immigrants for several days following the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, according to a document reviewed by NBC News and a person familiar with the planning. The person, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the operation, said multiple locations across Chicago will be targeted.
The American Immigration Council, a pro-immigration group, estimates that it could cost at least $315 billion to deport all of them. In addition to the costs, experts have warned that mass deportations could increase the price of some goods in the U.S. The federal government estimates that 40% of agricultural workers are undocumented immigrants. ICE currently has a $230 million budget shortfall and does not have the funding to carry out Trump’s plans on a prolonged and widespread scale.
