Migrants depart from the southern Mexican city of Tapachula ahead of Trump inauguration

Deportation raids that were set to begin in at least one sanctuary city the day after President Trump’s inauguration are on hold for now after an effort to keep the element of surprise, multiple law enforcement sources told The Post. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Chicago were told to stand down and that the operations were called off for now, sources said. The Post previously reported that ICE was planning a “big f–king operation” starting Tuesday in multiple sanctuary cities, including New York City.
