For millions in the U.S. illegally or with temporary legal status, the start of Donald Trump’s second term as president comes with a feeling their time in the U.S. may end soon.

President-elect Donald Trump has promised an avalanche of executive action on Monday, the first day of his second term in the White House.

President Joe Biden is leaving office with several immigration-related milestones under his belt, including the lowest number of deportations in a single year, the highest number of border encounters in another and record fentanyl seizures.

The locations expected to be targeted by deportation teams from ICE include those with large populations of immigrants, one source said.

The president will begin implementing his immigration plans immediately, with the first raids set to take place this week

If Trump fulfills his campaign promises on immigration, he could disrupt a fragile equilibrium at the southern border and hurt the economy.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will begin their immigration raids from Chicago which is one of hundreds of sanctuaries for immigrants from Tuesday.

In just a few days time the White House's stance on immigration is poised to shift dramatically to be at odds with many state and local laws in Maryland.

Federal immigration authorities arrested a 29-year-old Ecuadorian in Minneapolis last year who’d been convicted of criminal sexual conduct with a victim under 13. Also nabbed in the national sweep of noncitizen sex offenders was a 41-year-old Eritrean national in Maplewood convicted of criminal sexual conduct involving multiple acts with an underage victim.

The warnings may signal part of a legal a roadmap for Trump’s crackdown on immigration and pledge of mass deportations. It accuses officials of violating several federal statutes, including one against immigrant smuggling and another against interfering with the work of federal officers.

The president-elect’s immigration advisers have warned Republicans that it will take time and money from Congress to carry out the mass deportation effort he has promised to execute immediately.

We need to be very transparent,” the incoming border czar said of how he plans to carry out mass deportations.
