CHICAGO — Immigration enforcement operations unfolded across multiple cities Sunday, marking what President Donald Trump has called the beginning of an era of mass deportations that would primarily target migrants with criminal backgrounds but in which concerns remain that migrants with no criminal histories will be swept up, as well.

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, told NBC News on Sunday that several people convicted of serious offenses, including murder and sex crimes, were apprehended. He added that collateral arrests — detentions of people without criminal convictions who were present during the raids — would occur.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement Sunday that its enhanced operations aim to "enforce U.S. immigration law and preserve public safety and national security by keeping potentially dangerous criminal aliens out of our communities.”

The agency later said ICE made 956 arrests Sunday — the largest single-day number to date by the Trump administration. Since Trump was inaugurated Monday, ICE has made at least 2,681 arrests. It was unclear how many of those arrested had criminal histories or convictions.

Plus near Indian Reservations, he is going to war with our whole arrangement with Native Americans, treaties and centuries of case law notwithstanding. He has had a grudge against them after the second casino opened up in Connecticut in the late 1980s early 1990s. There is Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun there. T was invested in one of them and then the Pequot tribe opened the other one up and I saw him on 60 minutes complaining that they were "white" with native ancestry and he was furious. So I've already heard from a Nez Perce friend of my Wife, who says the Administration wants to try and end Dual Citizenship for Natives, making them choose one or the other with losses for them and their community either way.
