Trump’s warning: Three cities will see ICE increase deportations

Despite widespread protests across the country, Donald Trump is not showing any indications of giving up. The former president has now intensified his rhetoric, calling his detractors “radical Democrat politicians” and asserting that he is committed to implementing “the single largest mass deportation program in history.” Trump made it obvious that this is only the beginning by sending a terrifying message to three of the largest cities in the United States.

The latest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids have sparked protests around the country, inciting anger and anxiety in local communities. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has publicly commended ICE’s firm measures and promised to step up efforts even more.

Trump is determined to enact what he claims is the harshest immigration crackdown in American history, despite mounting public opposition. This decision is igniting intense discussion and massive protests across the country.

ICE officers intend to increase their daily arrests to at least 3,000, according to White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, who was a major architect behind Trump’s immigration policies. This is a significant increase from the approximately 650 arrests made daily during the first five months of Trump’s second term.

Donald Trump responded to the intense criticism that ICE has received for its recent actions in a recent social media post on Truth Social, but he made it apparent that he completely supports the agency’s goal. While conducting what he referred to as “the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History,” he commended ICE officials for their “incredible strength, determination, and courage.” “Every day, the Brave Men and Women of ICE are subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians,” Trump said, acknowledging the risks they face on a daily basis. “But nothing will stop us from executing our mission, and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People.”

Trump continued from there. “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,” he said in a direct order.

In addition, he issued a terrifying warning directed at the three big cities where millions of undocumented immigrants live: Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. “With millions upon millions of illegal aliens living in America’s largest cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, we must increase our efforts to detain and deport them in order to accomplish this,” Trump said.

He continued by disparaging his detractors, saying they were exploiting illegal immigration to “grow the Welfare State, cheat in elections, and expand their Voter Base, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens.”

These radical left Democrats do a good job of destroying our inner cities because they are tired of thinking about it, despise our nation, and truly want to do so! There’s a problem with them,” Trump continued. “That’s why they believe in Open Borders, Transgender for Everyone, and Men playing in Women’s Sports — And that’s 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 so big a role,” he said, connecting this belief to more general cultural issues.

In our Heartland, you never hear about Sanctuary Cities! Trump stressed in his closing remarks that his administration is investing “every resource possible” in this endeavor.

He stated that ICE has his whole support and “must now get the job done,” along with the FBI, DEA, ATF, and a number of other government agencies.

Despite legal restrictions imposed by the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits military engagement on U.S. land, Trump told TIME last year that he planned to deport up to 15 million people and even hinted that he may use the military to accomplish this. In contrast, J.D. Vance suggested a more modest target in a campaign interview with ABC News in August, stating, “Let’s start with 1 million.” Although some estimates indicate the actual amount may be closer to half that figure, the Trump administration has claimed that by April 2025, about 140,000 people had been deported.
