Blue Cities In Panic Mode As Trump Orders ICE To Turn Up The Heat!

This directive comes in the wake of large-scale protests in major cities like Los Angeles, where the Trump administration's immigration policies have sparked significant controversy. In a social media post, President Trump urged Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials "to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History."

He further emphasized that to accomplish this objective, 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."

As reported by The Associated Press, this announcement follows weeks of heightened enforcement. Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff and the primary architect of Trump's immigration policies, stated that ICE officers would aim for at least 3,000 arrests per day.

This figure marks a significant increase from the approximately 650 daily arrests during the initial five months of Trump's second term. Concurrently, the Trump administration has directed immigration officers to temporarily halt arrests at farms, restaurants, and hotels. This decision was made after Trump expressed concern about the impact of aggressive enforcement on these industries, according to a U.S. official who wished to remain anonymous.

Nationwide, protests against federal immigration enforcement raids have been escalating. Critics of Trump's immigration policies have taken to the streets in what have been dubbed the "no kings" demonstrations. These protests coincided with a grand parade in Washington, organized by Trump to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.

While the majority of these protests remained peaceful, law enforcement in Los Angeles resorted to tear gas and crowd-control munitions to disperse protesters after the event concluded. Similarly, in Portland, Oregon, officers used tear gas and projectiles to scatter a crowd protesting in front of an ICE building late into the evening.

President Trump's call for increased enforcement in Democrat-controlled cities was made via social media as he was en route to the Group of Seven economic summit in Alberta, Canada. He suggested to reporters that his decision to deploy National Guard troops to Los Angeles was instrumental in maintaining peace during the protests in the city. "If we didn't have the National Guard on call and ready, they would rip Los Angeles apart," Trump stated.

In his social media post, Trump praised the "incredible strength, determination, and courage" of the nation's ICE officers, who he said were "subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians." He asserted that nothing would deter them from executing their mission and fulfilling their mandate to the American people. He also took aim at "Radical Left Democrats," accusing them of using illegal aliens to expand their voter base, cheat in elections, and grow the welfare state at the expense of hardworking American citizens.

Trump concluded his post by expressing his unwavering support for ICE, the FBI, DEA, ATF, the Patriots at the Pentagon, and the State Department. He encouraged them to "GET THE JOB DONE!" in executing the largest mass deportation operation in history.

The President's directive and his subsequent comments underscore his commitment to a conservative perspective on immigration, emphasizing traditional values, limited government, individual freedom, and free-market economics.
