GB News: Donald Trump to launch raids to 'detain and deport' illegal migrants living in US 'on first day' in office
Raids to detain and deport illegal migrants in the U.S. are anticipated to start on the first day of Trump's presidency, with operations targeting "sanctuary" cities like Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles. Trump's team plans to focus on all illegal immigrants, including those who have lived in the U.S. for years.
The incoming administration aims to resume immigration raids at construction sites and may eliminate protections for churches during ICE operations. The Laken Riley Act, which mandates the arrest of illegal migrants suspected of criminal activity, is expected to pass soon.

Critics argue that the DSA, while claiming to protect democracy, actually restricts free speech and censors platforms like X and Facebook. Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom, contends that the EU's actions reflect hypocrisy and a desire to control electoral outcomes, asserting that voters are capable of making informed decisions despite media bias.
