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

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.
