MOSCOW, Jan 18 (Bernama-Sputnik/RIA Novosti) -- Donald Trump's incoming US presidential team is planning to start a large-scale raid against undocumented migrants in Chicago next week, reported Sputnik/RIA Novosti, citing The Wall Street Journal.

The raid will begin on Tuesday, the day after Trump's inauguration, scheduled for Jan 20, and will last a week, the article read, adding that up to 200 law enforcement officers are said to participate in the operation.

Similar raids are later expected in New York, Los Angeles and Miami, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

Trump has previously said he intended to implement a programme of mass deportations of undocumented migrants, which involves the introduction of a state of emergency and the use of military.

A presidential election took place in the United States on Nov 5, 2024. Republican candidate Trump, who served as the US president from 2017 to 2021, won the election.
