Milwaukee Ald. Larresa Taylor called the agency's decision to move to 11925 W. Lake Park Drive a "very alarming development."

MILWAUKEE - The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has proposed to open an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforcement facility on Milwaukee 's northwest side.

Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson outlines how the city welcomes immigrants, but stops short of calling Milwaukee a sanctuary city fearing repercussions from the Trump administration.

On the verge of Donald Trump’s second term, local activists and leaders are on edge about potential expansions of immigration enforcement.

Border czar Tom Homan told NBC News that several people with criminal convictions were apprehended in Chicago.

The locations expected to be targeted by deportation teams from ICE include those with large populations of immigrants, one source said.

The Trump administration authorized U.S. Marshals, DEA and Bureau of Prisons officers to conduct immigration enforcement.

An alderwoman said she is confident ICE wants to move its Milwaukee facility to the city's northwest side and that she is going to fight it.

The district is planning "Know Your Rights" seminars and made plans for responding to requests from ICE officials.

Milwaukee Ald. Larresa Taylor called ICE's decision to move from downtown to 11925 W. Lake Park Drive a "very alarming development."

One alder said a constituent called her concerned raids were happening in Milwaukee because of the misinformation.

Whether local law enforcement agencies cooperate with federal immigration authorities will be be crucial to Trump's planned mass deportation.
