Donald Trump on Sunday directed federal immigration officials to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities, a move that comes after large protests erupted in Los Angeles and other major cities against the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
Trump in a social media posting called on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement 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 Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside.”
Something tells me that the MAGA base won’t be too happy about this. They want the deportations to happen in their communities.
“Sorry Texas: Because you’re full of MAGA people we’re cutting your ICE resources.”
I’ve talked to so many rich white Republicans who thought the other Hispanics would be deported, not the Hispanics that they know. Leopards and faces, you know.
I just saw a comment the other day saying as much. Red states no one deported in a fashion that blue states are being targeted.
Do they really care where they get deported from though? Trump could just make up some lies about the number of people he’s deported and thru would be happy.
In fact Kristi noem could have just staged all those stupid commercials she did from El Salvador. The optics would have been enough.
