President Trump wants to expand efforts to detain and deport undocumented immigrants.

On social media, the president states his intention to carry out the largest mass deportation program ever recorded, focusing on residents of Chicago, LA, and NYC.

This comes as just this weekend people across the country participated in “no kings” demonstrations as Trump held a parade in D.C.

Several people were also protesting the administration’s latest immigration enforcement.

Immigrant communities were once again feeling on edge.

“People are beside themselves,” state Senator Graciela Guzman expressed. “They are uncertain if they will leave their appointments unscathed. They don’t know how much planning is necessary. Will they be able to work tomorrow? Can they take their children to childcare, to camp, or to school?”

Some of the people that walked out of the immigration facility were placed an ankle monitor and were given another immigration appointment
