Over this past week, President Donald Trump has ordered U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to increase its deportation efforts in America’s largest cities.
The President also declared a renewed effort to address illegal immigration despite the ongoing violent riots across the country.
The directive, issued via Trump’s Truth Social account, shows another escalation in the crackdown on illegal immigration as the President aims to boost law and order in certain cities he described as “Democrat Power Centers.”
“ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History,” the President wrote. “In order to achieve this, 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. ”
“I want our Brave ICE Officers to know that REAL Americans are cheering you on every day. The American People want our Cities, Schools, and Communities to be SAFE and FREE from Illegal Alien Crime, Conflict, and Chaos… To ICE, FBI, DEA, ATF, the Patriots at Pentagon and the State Department, you have my unwavering support. Now go, GET THE JOB DONE! DJT,” his post continued.
Trump’s order follows more than a week of riots across the country, sparked by ICE operations in Los Angeles that led to the arrests of hundreds of illegal aliens, many with violent criminal records, as previously covered by DX.
In a disturbing turn over the weekend, a protest in Salt Lake City ended in tragedy when a “bystander” was fatally shot by what Fox News referred to as “peacekeepers.” This is another example of chaos from “activist groups” – some of which, according to several reports, have received financial support from organizations allegedly linked to the Chinese Communist Party.
Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard in response to the riots obviously drew criticism from far-left lawmakers, with some accusing the administration of sparking more violence. California Rep. Maria Estrada went so far as to demand ICE retreat to allow local communities to “restore order.”
“If I didn’t put the National Guard into Los Angeles, the place would be burned down to the ground right now. I did incompetent Governor Gavin Newscum, who doesn’t have a clue, the favor of a lifetime. One of the WORST GOVERNORS IN HISTORY!” Trump added in a later post.
