Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is set to launch a significant enforcement operation across several sanctuary cities immediately following Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to multiple sources.
The operation, described as a “big f–king operation” by insiders, will target cities like Chicago and New York, which have policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
Details are still unfolding, but it’s understood that at least 100 to 200 ICE officers will be involved, with the operations potentially starting as early as Tuesday morning in Chicago. The focus will be on individuals with criminal records, but the scope could expand.
This move comes after Trump’s incoming “border czar,” Tom Homan, vowed to prioritize deportations from the day Trump takes office. Homan has been vocal about flooding sanctuary cities with ICE officers to tackle what he describes as a significant threat to national security posed by undocumented immigrants.
According to NY Post:
“It’s going to be a big raid all across the country,” the incoming border czar told Fox News host Jesse Watters.
“Chicago is just one of many places. We’ve got 24 [ICE] field offices across the country. On Tuesday, ICE is finally going to go out and do their job. We’re going to take the handcuffs off ICE and let them go arrest criminal aliens. That’s what’s going to happen.”
Homan added that ICE agents will “enforce immigration law without apology” but “concentrate on the worst first.”
The timing of this operation, right after the inauguration, underscores a swift return to hardline immigration policies under Trump’s administration. Critics argue that announcing such operations might allow some targets to evade capture, while supporters see it as a necessary step towards enforcing immigration laws more stringently.
This development has sparked a range of reactions online, with some expressing support for the enforcement action and others questioning the strategy and ethics of publicizing such plans in advance.
The specifics of the operation, including exact targets and further locations beyond the initial cities mentioned, remain closely guarded. However, the intention is clear: to begin mass deportations as promised by Trump during his campaign.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
