As protests against immigration enforcement escalate in several cities across the U.S., local officials are bracing for the deployment of ICE tactical units. Mayor Harrell of Seattle has announced that the city will not cooperate with ICE, while President Trump prepares to send tactical teams to Philadelphia, Chicago, and several other areas. Chicago is particularly on high alert, with more anti-ICE demonstrations expected, prompting local leaders to urge for peaceful protests. Reports indicate that ICE is readying special response teams for operations in multiple Democratic-led cities amidst ongoing unrest and fears of increased crackdowns on immigrant communities. As tensions rise, the White House continues to signal that ICE raids will persist despite the protests.
