The Trump administration is empowering federal immigration officers to consider whether to strip temporary legal status from migrants who entered through former President Joe Biden's signature "parole" programs in an effort to ramp up deportations to record levels,

The Trump administration is powering ahead with efforts to ramp up immigration enforcement, opening up the possibility of targeting migrants who entered through Biden-era programs and invoking an obscure immigration statute to make it easier to deputize state and local law enforcement to arrest and detain immigrants in the U.

There were raids in Miami, Chicago, Newark and New Jersey on Sunday in an operation involving several agencies.

President Joseph R. Biden Jr. focused enforcement on the record numbers of people who had recently crossed the southern border and used expanded emergency powers under Covid to conduct four million deportations during his tenure. Mr. Trump conducted 1.9 million during his first term.

Border czar Tom Homan told NBC News that several people with criminal convictions were apprehended in Chicago.

The Trump administration revoked a Biden-era policy that prohibited ICE arrests at or near schools, places of worship and other "sensitive locations."

Trump has said he would like to deport everyone living illegally in the United States, though he has not set a specific numerical target. Who is most at risk?

President Donald Trump ran on a promise of mass deportations and tougher measures at the southwest border, with his border czar Tom Homan promising an increase in ICE activity as soon as the president returned to the White House. Despite potential large-scale raids in Chicago and New York City this week, smaller operations took place instead.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka reveals that U.S. citizens were caught up in a recent ICE raid, raising concerns about constitutional rights and immigration enforcement tactics.

Trump's action comes after signals from private prison corporations like GEO Group and CoreCivic that they expected such a reversal.
