President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to carry out mass deportations when he returns to office, and the reports that raids will begin in sanctuary cities the day after his inauguration have illegals already on the move.
This from thegatewaypundit.com.
Illegal aliens have begun to self-deport ahead of the Border Czar, Tom Homan’s anticipated start of the big roundup, according to a report from NewsNation’s Jorge Ventura.
Self-deportations of illegal immigrants have begun ahead of the inauguration.

Ventura reported:
Immigration attorney Rolando Vasquez told NewsNation some of his clients who entered under the [Obiden Regime] are now choosing to return home, fearing deportation under the incoming administration.
It’s not just Trump’s deportation plans that have influenced these decisions.
Vazquez says Mexico is now open to accepting non-Mexican deportees. This move would affect Cuban and Venezuelan migrants the most since those countries typically do not accept deportation flights from the U.S. but may take them from Mexico.
Vazquez said:
This is causing many migrants to leave on their own, knowing that they’re either going to be deported to their home country or be deported to Mexico,
The overwhelming majority of them do not want to be in Mexico.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is reportedly going to launch a “big f–king operation” in major sanctuary cities, including New York and Chicago, on Tuesday.
Citing an unnamed source, the New York Post reported over the weekend that ICE has paused arrests to make room for the massive influx of illegal aliens picked up in the raids.
The report quotes the source saying:
We aren’t arresting anyone and bringing them into custody, making room for what may happen next week.
As reported in November:
Haitian migrants were fleeing Springfield, Ohio, ‘in droves’ over deportation fears following Trump’s election win.
Trump had singled out the town, which is overrun with migrants, by saying that they were eating people’s pets during a presidential debate in September.
Trump had stated:
In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there.
The soundbite was remixed into a song that went massively viral on TikTok.
Incoming border czar Tom Homan suggested just days after Trump’s win that criminal illegal aliens and gang members:
[Should self-deport because] we know who you are, and we’re gonna come and find you.
Again, Homan asserted:
While we’re out prioritizing the public safety threats and national security threats, if you wanna self-deport, you should self-deport because, again, we know who you are, and we’re gonna come and find you.
Homan continued:
So, if you wanna self-deport, that’s fine.
But criminals and gang members, they get no favors from this administration.
You came to this country illegally, which is a crime. You committed crimes against United States citizens, some heinous crimes.
You get no grace period. So, we’re coming for you.
Again, making himself very clear, Homan said that those who have not committed crimes beyond their illegal border crossing can “put everything in order” and “leave with their family all together.”
The implication is, of course, those who committed other crimes will be prosecuted.
