Trump announces expansion of ICE raids in sanctuary cities – Washington Examiner
Former President donald Trump announced a significant expansion of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids targeted at sanctuary cities as part of his ongoing immigration policy. In a post on Truth social, Trump emphasized his commitment to what he termed the “largest mass Deportation Program in History,” urging ICE officers to focus on major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, which he described as crucial Democratic strongholds.
He argued that these cities harbor millions of undocumented immigrants and use them to enhance their voter base and expand welfare programs at the expense of American citizens. Trump’s plan aims to detain and deport illegal migrants from urban areas considered crime-infested, urging his management to allocate resources to reverse what he calls “Mass Destruction Migration.”
The announcement comes amidst recent protests against ICE in cities like Los Angeles and the deployment of the National Guard and marines to manage unrest, actions that have drawn criticism from Democratic officials. Trump framed his approach as essential for ensuring safety and stability in American communities.
Trump announces expansion of ICE raids in sanctuary cities
President Donald Trump announced an expansion of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids on sanctuary cities as part of his campaign promise of the “largest Mass Deportation Program in History.”
Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post on Sunday night, where he called on ICE officers to “reverse the tide of Mass Destruction Migration” by targeting cities at the “core of the Democrat Power Center,” citing the three largest cities in the country: New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
“We must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens. These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities — And they are doing a good job of it!” the president posted.
Trump added that the expanded deportation efforts would be focused on “our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities, and those places where Sanctuary Cities play such a big role.”
“The American People want our Cities, Schools, and Communities to be SAFE and FREE from Illegal Alien Crime, Conflict, and Chaos. That’s why I have directed my entire Administration to put every resource possible behind this effort, and reverse the tide of Mass Destruction Migration that has turned once Idyllic Towns into scenes of Third World Dystopia. Our Federal Government will continue to be focused on the REMIGRATION of Aliens to the places from where they came, and preventing the admission of ANYONE who undermines the domestic tranquility of the United States,” Trump said.
Trump’s focus on sanctuary cities for his deportation operation follows violent anti-ICE riots that rocked Los Angeles over the past week. The president’s decision to deploy the National Guard and, later, the Marines to the area to quell the chaos was condemned by the Democratic leaders of the state, specifically Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
Anti-ICE protests have been seen in other major cities as well, particularly on Saturday, when nationwide “No Kings” protests were held.
