Incoming border czar: mass deportations will begin in Chicago

President-elect Donald Trump's newly-named border czar says Chicago will be ground zero for hardline immigration policies, and threatened city officials with prosecution should they try to intervene.

This week’s video centers on a speech by President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming border czar Tom Homan at a GOP event in Chicago.

You can find out more about Homan’s hardline immigration policies and how they could affect Chicago migrants in a piece by Block Club Chicago’s Mack Liederman.

CNBC also covered Homan and the issue of congressional oversight, or lack thereof, of the border czar last month. You can read their coverage here.
