He mentioned that officials need to intensify their attempts to apprehend and deport individuals residing illegally in cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York to reach their objectives.

WASHINGTON D.C., DC — On Sunday, President Donald Trump instructed federal immigration authorities to focus on deportations in cities governed by Democrats. This comes in the wake of significant protests in Los Angeles and other major urban areas opposing the Trump administration’s immigration strategies.

Through a social media message, Trump urged ICE officials “to exert every effort to accomplish the crucial goal of implementing the 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.”

Trump’s declaration comes after weeks of increased enforcement, and after Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff and main architect of Trump’s immigration policies, said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers would target at least 3,000 arrests a day, up from about 650 a day during the first five months of Trump’s second term.

At the same time, the Trump administration has directed immigration officers to pause arrests at farms, restaurants and hotels, after Trump expressed alarm about the impact aggressive enforcement is having on those industries, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter who spoke only on condition of anonymity.
