Immigrants and groups advocating for them have been preparing since Trump made mass deportations a signature pledge of his campaign. Trump has often been critical of Chicago, which has some of the country’s strongest protections for people in the country without legal status.

The incoming Trump administration is reportedly beginning mass deportations next week in the city and across the U.S., one of the president-elect's campaign promises.

Concerns are growing in the undocumented community that President-elect Donald Trump could carry out his mass deportation plans in Chicago after being inaugurated.
