Trump directs ICE to expand deportations in Democratic-run cities, undeterred by protests
President Donald Trump has directed federal immigration officials to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities after large protests have erupted in Los Angeles and other major cities against the Trump administration’s immigration policies. Trump in a social media posting Sunday called on ICE officials “to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.” He added that to reach the goal officials ”must expand efforts to detain and deport” people in the country illegally in cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.
