Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) got hit with a federal lawsuit on Monday by the American Civil Liberties Union, claiming it failed to respond to open records requests about what it describes as President-elect Donald Trump’s “mass deportation and detention” plans.

With Trump vowing to carry out the “largest deportation operation in American history” once in office next year, ACLU officials have asked for more information on the government’s ICE Air Operations program, which is responsible for transporting migrants and unaccompanied children by plane, per the civil rights group.
