Federal immigration agents shouldn't expect cooperation from local authorities when they begin a mass roundup of migrant families with deportation orders, an operation slated to begin Sunday at the direction of President Trump.
Several elected officials in cities expected to be targeted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have either condemned the impending arrests or said they won't allow local resources to be used to assist the federal agents.
The operation is expected to target 2,000 families in up to 10 cities, including Chicago, Baltimore, New York, Houston, Los Angeles and Miami.
Earlier this week, President Trump announced via Twitter that ICE would be “removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the U.S."

CHICAGO (WLS-ABC7) -- Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced today that the Chicago Police Department will not cooperate with planned raids by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency this weekend.
"We are all aware of the threat from President Trump regarding raids by ICE, and in response, Chicago has taken concrete steps to support our immigrant communities," Lightfoot said in a statement.
City officials estimate that there are tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants living in Chicago, protected by sanctuary laws.
Governor Pritzker signed two bills earlier Friday making it illegal for groups to establish detention centers or local law enforcement from making agreements with ICE.
Lightfoot said Chicago police have terminated ICE's access to Chicago Police Department's databases related to federal immigration enforcement activities.
She has also instructed CPD not to cooperate with, or facilitate any ICE enforcement actions.

When you consider that most who are here illegally (aka: criminals) are a burden on U.S. taxpayers, and some hurt or kill U.S. citizens, its hard to believe that any "leader" of a city/state would support these lawbreakers, over the voters.

The Supreme Court seems to disagree with your opinion.
Maybe you should pursue a legal career so you can explain to them how they are mistaken.

If Trump was really smart, he would have quietly started this program last weekend and just tweeted about it after the fact. Why would he give everybody a heads up like this? It doesn't seem very effective to announce it ahead of time.
