Donald Trump on Sunday directed federal immigration officials to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities, a move that comes after large protests erupted in Los Angeles and other major cities against the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

Trump in a social media posting called on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials “to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single 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.”

      Yeah and the Turnip admin’s goal is to make peaceful protests impossible. Like, they’re literally spoiling for violence. The GOP has no idea the potential shitstorm they’re enabling right now by letting him remain in power.

      They will claim violence. But by numbers alone this can be done peacefully. ICE are cowards. They won’t engage a group as large as anything we’ve seen in any city so far.

    If you see ICE in public:

    -scream “ICE, LA MIGRA”

    -call the local swat on them saying "there are armed men trying to kidnap my neighbor and her daughter. They aren’t law enforcement and have no identification "

    -or hit them with your car.

      And if you have connections to Latino organizations in your area, let them know! There are great groups rising up and getting ICE information out to vulnerable people en masse.

        Usually they do have badges.

        But if you’re across the street and can’t see whether or not they have badges, don’t mention it. All you can see is masks and guns.

          “Masked gunmen dressed in the same loose theme, like gang colours!”

          Because truth is only a weapon when it’s wielded against fascists.

    It was very nice of him to warn the cities.

    The population knows how to gather, and they can gather quickly.

    This is how this resistance becomes material. Stand up for your neighbor. Make sure your neighbors stand up too.

    Something tells me that the MAGA base won’t be too happy about this. They want the deportations to happen in their communities.

    “Sorry Texas: Because you’re full of MAGA people we’re cutting your ICE resources.”

      I’ve talked to so many rich white Republicans who thought the other Hispanics would be deported, not the Hispanics that they know. Leopards and faces, you know.

      I just saw a comment the other day saying as much. Red states no one deported in a fashion that blue states are being targeted.

      Do they really care where they get deported from though? Trump could just make up some lies about the number of people he’s deported and thru would be happy.

      In fact Kristi noem could have just staged all those stupid commercials she did from El Salvador. The optics would have been enough.

    Idk he seems pretty deterred by the protests. Almost as if his yuge failure of a party upset him.

    Yeah, the protests this weekend were amazing but won’t do anything unless you do this all day every day non stop until he’s gone.

    Trump won’t care anything unless he starts feeling the effects

      This weekend, sure. However, protests like what are happening in LA are different. Rather than just being symbolic or performative, they are actually disrupting ICE activity. Every community needs to follow LAs example and protect their neighbors.
