Cities Nationwide Refuse To Cooperate With ICEs Mass Deportation Raids
Officials in major cities are taking a stand against President Trumps threats for mass deportation in order to protect their immigrant residents.
By Carla Herreria
Mayors, city officials and police departments from across the country are refusing to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after seeing reports that the agency will launch sweeping deportation raids in at least 10 major cities over the weekend.
The raids, expected on Sunday, are targeting up to 2,000 migrant families whove received deportation orders, the Washington Post and Miami Herald reported on Friday.
ICE agents are expected carry out the deportations in cities with large immigrant communities, including Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York and San Francisco.
Mayors in cities that have asserted its status as so-called sanctuary cities, such as San Francisco, criticized the reported deportation plans and reached out to their immigrant residents offering support.
