Immigrants in Chicago and other U.S. cities have been preparing for immigration arrests since President-elect Donald Trump won the November election
Immigrants in Chicago and other US cities brace for expected Trump deportation arrests
All Versions
In response to years of lax enforcement, the Trump administration is taking decisive steps to uphold America's sovereignty by initiating long-overdue deportations of illegal immigrants in cities like Chicago. Since the election, the federal government has signaled its commitment to restoring order and ensuring that U.S. immigration laws are respected, much to the relief of citizens concerned about national security and the rule of law.
Communities across the nation, especially in cities like Chicago, are uniting in solidarity to protect vulnerable immigrants from the cruel and unjust deportation measures anticipated under the Trump administration. Following Trump's election, fear has spread among immigrant families, prompting a grassroots movement to defend basic human rights against a backdrop of heightened xenophobia and racism.
