Just days into President Donald Trump’s second term, federal agents have begun to raid homes and businesses in Austin and across the country, looking for immigrants who have entered the country illegally.

The actions come as President Donald Trump and his administration have begun cracking down on illegal immigration and laying the groundwork for rapid deportations.

APD Chief Lisa Davis did not know the number of warrants federal agents served or the immigration status of those involved.

The state has vowed to assist the president in his efforts to revamp immigration. But the state’s biggest cities and school districts are more reluctant to help.

Agents from multiple federal agencies carried out immigration enforcement operations in various Texas cities including Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio on Sunday, federal officials said.

Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis reiterated APD doesn't have a role in enforcing federal civil immigration laws, while advocates have started trainings to educate families on what to do if they're approached by ICE agents.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has carried out raids across the United States, including several cities in Texas.

DALLAS — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 84 people across North Texas on Sunday during immigration enforcement operations, the agency confirmed.

Dozens of people were arrested in North Texas alone as part of Donald Trump’s crackdown on people who may be in the country without legal status.

Immigration authorities did not say how many people were detained or what kinds of offenses the people sought Sunday were suspected of doing.

Fort Worth ISD says it is investigating a substitute teacher who allegedly asked ICE to deport students, saying many "don't even speak English."
