Following Trump's inauguration, the U.S. will intensify arrests of illegal immigrants, according to media reports.

U.S. immigration and customs enforcement officials are planning a large-scale operation aimed at curbing the activities of immigrants within the country. The increase in arrests is set to begin following Donald Trump's inauguration.

This information comes from RBK-Ukraine citing NBC News, CBS News, and Associated Press.

According to an NBC source, several locations throughout Chicago (which has a high number of undocumented immigrants) will be targeted. CBS confirms that U.S. agencies will focus on Chicago, while also noting that arrests will occur in other regions.

As per the document, the operation is expected to commence on Tuesday and conclude by Monday, January 27. However, these dates may change.

One official stated that representatives from the federal immigration service will conduct checks on over 300 individuals who have committed serious and violent crimes. This will mark the first attempt by the Trump administration to fulfill its promise of extensive deportations.

"The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement only arrests a portion of its targets in such operations, although it is anticipated that Trump will cast a wider net than President Joe Biden, whose focus on apprehending individuals away from the border was primarily limited to those with serious criminal histories and national security threats," writes AP.

Trump's aides indicated that they would also arrest others, such as spouses or roommates who are not targets but are in the country illegally.

Additionally, according to the document, NBC reports that a briefing for agents planning to participate in the operation dubbed "Operation Safeguard" was scheduled for Friday afternoon in Chicago. It also mentions that agents who volunteered to participate exceeded the number required.

Recall that yesterday CNN reported that Donald Trump's team is finalizing a package of immigration-related executive orders (deportation of illegal immigrants).

These are expected to be published within the first hours after Trump officially takes office as President of the United States.
