Trump Orders Largest Mass Deportation Operation

President Donald Trump has directed ICE to conduct what he claims will be the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history, targeting major Democratic-led cities despite ICE reportedly facing a $1 billion budget shortfall. Trump has also eased his stance on workplace raids, a shift cautiously welcomed by some Democrats and Hispanic Republicans who favor focusing on violent offenders. In Los Angeles, the Foothill Community Democrats revealed ICE agents' hotel locations, organizing protests that resulted in at least one instance of ICE agents leaving a targeted site. Protests at Southern California hotels have led to property damage and arrests, intensifying tensions between federal agents and activists. The Department of Homeland Security condemned the doxxing and vowed legal action against those responsible. These events reflect escalating partisan conflict over immigration enforcement and increasingly confrontational protest tactics.
