The incoming Trump administration wants to start arresting illegal immigrants across the US as soon as Tuesday, amid the promise of a mass deportation operation.

The president-elect will aggressively crack down on the border, with a slow start to his mass deportations agenda.

Days before Donald Trump takes office with the promise of mass deportation, immigrants are bracing for Trump's first actions, including staying away from going to work, while immigrant advocacy organizations have launched "know your rights" campaigns across the country.
