President Donald Trump is hitting the ground running during his first week back in office, and it turns out he’s not just taking names—he’s also getting ready to kick some illegal immigrants to the curb. In a delightful twist for conservative constituents, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis has issued a not-so-subtle warning that New York City better brace itself for mass deportations. As one of the prime targets of Trump’s no-nonsense crackdown on illegal immigration, the Big Apple is about to get a reality check.
According to Malliotakis, the federal government is not just blowing hot air about immigration enforcement. She has been in talks with Tom Homan, the Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and it sounds like the plan is already in motion. The congresswoman indicated that while Chicago is the first stop on this deportation express train, New York City is inline right behind it, likely leaving no time to grab a New York slice before the action kicks off.
ICE plans to target big cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles , Phoenix, and New York City. Starting Tuesday, January 22nd, there will be mass deportations with families being forced apart.

The focus of these operations appears to be on the kind of criminal elements that even the most lenient New York City resident can’t pretend to support—gang members, drug traffickers, and even those involved in sex trafficking. Malliotakis has made it clear that her constituents are fed up with dangerous individuals making the city their playground and are more than ready for a clean-up crew to hit the streets. It’s about time someone prioritized lawful citizens over those breaking the law.
While initial plans for deportation operations in Chicago were put on ice, sources insist that the ultimate goal remains unchanged. There was talk of a “big operation” aimed at deterring sanctuary cities—whether they like it or not. Mayor Eric Adams claims that the city will cooperate with federal authorities in the event of these expected arrests. However, he has also been quick to remind everyone that it’s Trump’s administration responsible for enforcing immigration policies—not the local NYPD.
Adams took the opportunity to underscore that anyone engaging in violent crime has effectively voided their right to inhabit the city. In his world, not all lives matter equally; if you’re engaging in illegal behavior, your place in the city is under question. So, as New York City holds its breath, uncertain about how many bad apples will get the boot, it seems that Trump’s immigration agenda is becoming a hot topic—and it’s sure to ruffle a few feathers among those who continue to squawk about the rights of illegal immigrants over the safety of law-abiding citizens.
This isn’t just about mass deportations; it’s about sending a message. Those in power are finally making a stand against the chaos that many sanctuary cities have embraced. America is watching as Trump repositions the enforcement of immigration laws as a priority rather than an afterthought, and urban centers across the nation are about to see just how serious he really is. Buckle up, New York; you might need to pick up a few extra trash bags for this impending clean sweep!
