Federal enforcement agencies are targeting three U.S. cities per week for large scale immigration arrests, with Aurora, Colorado to come next, three sources familiar with the planning told NBC News.

Immigrants across the U.S. have been on edge as they anticipate a wave of raids from Immigration and Customs Enforcement ordered by the Trump administration. The big picture: President Trump has already acted upon his promise to crack down on undocumented immigrants through large-scale deportation.

Arrests of illegal immigrants across the United States started Jan. 20 and have increased in number day to day.

Their jails in their own countries are a lot worse than here. They don’t care about being locked up here, so they should be deported,” said a man in Jackson Heights, Queens.

Chicago resident Cata Truss joined 'America's Newsroom' to discuss her reaction to the targeted ICE raids in the Windy City and Mayor Brandon Johnson's pushback against the Trump administration's crackdown.

The TV host known as "Dr. Phil" embedded with U.S. immigration enforcement officers during an operation in Chicago on Sunday, defending President Donald Trump's deportation effort as the crackdown neared the end of its first week.
