Trump Orders ICE Largest Deportations in Democrat-Led Cities

President Donald Trump has issued a directive to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to intensify deportations, aiming to execute the "single largest Mass Deportation Program in History." This order targets major U.S. cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, which Trump identifies as "Democrat Power Centers" where, he claims, illegal immigrants are allegedly used to expand the voter base and increase welfare dependency. Trump praised ICE officers for their determination amid protests and opposition, including violent incidents and political accusations that have accompanied the administration's crackdown. The president's stance has sparked widespread protests and criticism, with opponents condemning the policy as heavy-handed and harmful to immigrant communities. Despite acknowledging concerns from farmers and businesses about labor shortages due to aggressive immigration enforcement, Trump remains steadfast in his commitment to the deportation campaign, emphasizing national sovereignty and public safety. The administration is dedicating extensive resources to this effort, framing it as a mandate from the American public to restore order in cities affected by illegal immigration.
