Trump Admin Threatens It’s Ready to Start Deporting Up to 1 Million People

HeadlineJul 08, 2019

The acting head of Citizenship and Immigration Services said Sunday Immigration and Customs Enforcement was ready to start rounding up and deporting 1 million people. The comments from Ken Cuccinelli echoed threats by Trump last week, who said the raids would start sometime after the holiday weekend. City officials, police departments and mayors from major cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago and New York, said last month they would refuse to cooperate with ICE if Trump enacted mass deportations.
