The expulsion of undocumented migrants will “begin very, very quickly,” Trump told NBC.

“I can’t say which cities because things are evolving. And I don’t think we want to say what city. You’ll see it firsthand,” he said in the phone interview.

Raids

Hardline immigration official Tom Homan, whom Trump has named his “border czar,” told The Washington Post Saturday that the incoming administration was rethinking its initial moves following media leaks.

Multiple US outlets had reported the Trump administration planned a major raid in Chicago on Tuesday.

Trump’s team “hasn’t made a decision yet,” Homan told the paper.

“We’re looking at this leak and will make a decision based on this leak.”

Homan added that he did not know why Chicago had become the focus of media reports but that the new administration will arrest people they deem “public safety threats” from “day one.”

“We’ll be arresting people across the country, uninhibited by any prior administration guidelines,” he said.

Recent inaugurations have been held on the steps of the US Capitol overlooking the National Mall, but Trump announced Friday the ceremony was moving indoors because of unusually cold weather forecast to hit Washington.

“I think we made the right decision,” he told NBC. “The weather was really looking bad in terms of the coldness, and I think it would have been dangerous for a lot of people.”

Following Saturday’s private party, Trump is expected to lay a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery on Sunday before attending a rally of his supporters in Washington.

He is also scheduled to address a dinner event on Sunday.
