ICE officers prepping for ‘big f-king operation’ across sanctuary cities immediately after Trump inauguration | 17 Jan 2025 | The ICE man cometh. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” across sanctuary cities — including Chicago and New York — immediately after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources told The Post. Starting Jan. 21, multi-day “ground operations” will be launched across cities that have served as safe havens for migrants because the local authorities do not cooperate with the federal government when it comes to immigration issues, sources said. The massive sweep is likely to target people with removal orders, according to sources.
