As Democrat-endorsed anti-ICE riots continue to endanger lives and prevent the enforcement of immigration law in a number of cities across America, Donald Trump is doubling down on arresting illegals in blue cities.
On Sunday, Trump affirmed his “very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.” He praised Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and clarified that for now, immigration enforcement will be focused on the cities whose lefty politicians are most opposed to arresting foreign criminals.
ICE officers, Trump began, “have shown incredible strength, determination, and courage as they facilitate a very important mission, the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History.” He slammed the “violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians,” promising, however, that “nothing will stop us from executing our mission, and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People. 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.”
It is particularly encouraging to see this news after the disappointing Trump announcement that ICE would no longer be deporting illegal aliens working at hotels and farms, even as some blue-collar American men still struggle to find jobs in industries that prefer to pay illegals low wages in bad conditions rather than hiring Americans. Perhaps Trump is reassessing that previous announcement.
