DENVER, the United States, July 14 -- Washington's much-ballyhooed weekend sweep of major U.S. cities to arrest undocumented immigrants produced few of the desired results but left communities rattled.

U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to hit Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York and San Francisco failed to materialize as planned, according to media sources.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency's efforts to nab 2,000 immigrants who had been issued final orders of removal produced only a handful of arrests.

Meanwhile, local governments and relief agencies ramped up efforts to advise immigrants of their rights.

FEW ARRESTS

"We are doing targeted enforcement actions against specific individuals who have had their day in immigration court and have been ordered removed by an immigration judge," Matthew Albence, ICE acting director, told Fox News Sunday.

In Chicago, a mother and her daughters were apprehended but the family was released under supervision, according to the New York Times.

The Times also reported Sunday that ICE agents attempted two arrests on Saturday in the Sunset Park area of Brooklyn and a third in East Harlem, according to the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs.

As of Sunday evening, there were no reports of arrests in the Los Angeles area, the Los Angeles Times reported.

In Florida, ICE agents were seen knocking on doors near Miami International Airport on Sunday and in the migrant farming community of Immokalee on Friday, but there had been no reports of arrests, said Melissa Taveras of the Miami-based Florida Immigrant Coalition.
