On Sunday, President Donald Trump ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to expand deportation efforts in cities led by Democrats to help advance the administration’s mass deportation goals.

Trump directed ICE to “do all in their power” to ramp up efforts in Democrat-run cities, specifically mentioning Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.

“Our Nation’s ICE Officers have shown incredible strength, determination, and courage as they facilitate a very important mission, the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History. Every day, the Brave Men and Women of ICE are subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians, but nothing will stop us from executing our mission and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People,” wrote Trump on social media.

“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,” added Trump.

Last month, White House aide Stephen Miller stated that the administration aimed to conduct a minimum of 3,000 ICE arrests per day.

“These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good-paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens,” said the president. “These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities — And they are doing a good job of it!”

Trump continued to attack Democrats as he ordered ICE to focus on left-leaning cities.

“There is something wrong with them. That is why they believe in Open Borders, Transgender for Everybody, and Men playing in Women’s Sports — And that is why I want ICE, Border Patrol, and our Great and Patriotic Law Enforcement Officers, to FOCUS on our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities, and those places where Sanctuary Cities play such a big role,” added Trump.

Trump’s order for enhanced ICE operations follows the protests in Los Angeles and around the country over his administration’s immigration policies.

To quell the Los Angeles protests, the president deployed troops to the city, which started a feud with Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-California) and other Democratic leaders.

On Thursday, a federal appeals court temporarily lifted an order that Trump’s deployment of military personnel was illegal, enabling troops to continue their presence in Los Angeles.
