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.”

    Worst president ever. Just straight dividing the country. MAGA to blind to see it or too hateful to care.

    Cancer should be renamed to MAGA

    If you see ICE in public:

    -scream “ICE, LA MIGRA”

    -call the local swat on them saying "there are armed men trying to kidnap my neighbor and her daughter. They aren’t law enforcement and have no identification "

    -or hit them with your car.

        Usually they do have badges.

        But if you’re across the street and can’t see whether or not they have badges, don’t mention it. All you can see is masks and guns.

      And if you have connections to Latino organizations in your area, let them know! There are great groups rising up and getting ICE information out to vulnerable people en masse.

    It was very nice of him to warn the cities.

    The population knows how to gather, and they can gather quickly.

    This is how this resistance becomes material. Stand up for your neighbor. Make sure your neighbors stand up too.

    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.
