After President Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20, he directs the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies to ramp up their enforcement of immigration laws.

Federal officials begin operations to apprehend illegal immigrants. In opposition, people in several cities have protested. Los Angeles, a “sanctuary city” that offers a haven to illegal immigrants, became a protest hot spot in early February.
