Donald Trump ordered ICE officers to prioritize deportations in Democrat-run cities in a wild Truth Social rant Sunday night.

Trump issued the unprecedented, politically motivated orders just hours after millions of protesters gathered in major American cities, calling for Trump’s megalomania to be curbed.

Trump told ICE staff to “do all in their power” to detain and deport undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.

Protests in these cities—and many more Democrat-controlled districts—attracted millions of citizens on Saturday, dwarfing the crowd that attended Trump’s birthday parade in Washington, D.C.

    If he knows there are millions and millions of illegal aliens, why is he rounding up the legal ones?

    • “millions and millions” is total bs
    • technically they’re probably not. It looks like they have a bunch of new unqualified people and set impossible quotas.

    While I would never have sympathy for any officers knowingly complying with illegal orders, it also fits with the current administration that management is by bullying, threats, impossible demands, and no concern for correctness until a scapegoat is needed

  • That's the TRUTH!

    As far as characteristics of his "style" of bleating to camouflage ghost writing, I'd say that's probably one of the easiest ones to do without turning your own brain into mush in the process.

    Just highlight the word, a click or two, and it looks more like the Unhinged RAVINGS of the Mango Mussolini.

  • I had the same thought and am glad to see you're already here with 44 upvotes. Trump is just here for the attention, cruelty and grift, but he's not a thinker.

    This is a manifesto. And apart from the consistent spelling and grammar, the capitalized words aren't as random as Trump - way too many and too consistent. It's certainly a mimicked style by someone who thinks they know how Trump writes.

    Stephen Miller is the architect of the ICE policy and the one whipping the horses - it's gotta be him.

    Preventing admission of anyone who undermines the domestic tranquility of the United States.

    Any reasonable interpretation of this means that he just gave the order to keep himself from returning.

    The population of those cities combined is around 15 million. He wants to deport millions upon millions. Whatcha gonna do about the crumbling infrastructure and buildings that will become ghost towns and ruins. Can't become great with manufacturing if we don't have people to fill those jobs. Even "great" leaders used slaves he's just making everywhere else greater by giving them back their labor force.

    They've been saying this in some form or another practically since the Industrial Revolution itself. For many of these backbreaking jobs, immigrant laborers are cheaper and more effective than automating them. UPS and FedEx use barcodes and scanners on each package to (try to) ensure that they all get to the right address, but it's still people shoveling them into and out of the vans.

    They're already planning to have massive ICE camps here in the US, they just cut a $45bn contract for tons more, contracting with private prisons, camping manufacturers, and more. We're bringing back slave labor - if they're detained, LEGALLY they can be used for labor without pay, at gunpoint.

    ICE doesn't have enough people to intimidate a single blue city, let alone the country. They can't even operate in Los Angeles without the backup of a small number of National Guard and Marines and they're doing that illegal action over the governor's explicit objections.

    ICE are a bunch of cowards, doing safe, comfortable hits in suburbs and on people who are complying with the law. (Immigration hearings and workplaces.)

    When I saw the pictures of the protests in multiple cities, I realized that ICE, law enforcement, and the military don't stand a chance. They might be able to wipe out one protest, maybe even 2 or 3, but they could never get them all, and it's likely they'd be spread so thin, they couldn't significantly impact any of them.

    They have to be looking at the sizes of those protests, and getting worried. And they know there are plenty more at home. All they have is intimidation, the fear of violence, but now they know they are badly outnumbered, and the people know it, too.

    Crackdowns on these cities is a sign of panic, and panic is very dangerous. Stay alert, Patriots.

    Oh, how subtle. If you're not cheering ICE on, you're not a REAL American. So you should be deported too!

    IMO, the next "No Kings" protest should be "No Kings II" and then the next III and so on. It's such a perfect name that we should keep it.

    It also needs to stay on focus without devolving into a catch-all for every liberal agenda item. No Palestine, no LGBT+, just presidential overreach. Otherwise participation gets limited and we lose the needed numbers.

    Just the opposite. This cause brought a significant amount of Republicans out to the protest line. The ones that truly believe in small government. With numbers comes attention.

    If we protest everything, then only those who agree with all of it will come out. Intersectionality only limits the audience.

    That is one of the reasons why Occupy failed -they tried to protest everything at once. Capitalism, Police overreach, Homelessness, etc.

    Trump already left G7 to supposedly "focus on the escalating Israeli-Iran conflict."

    That's not the reason why he left. He's leaving early because he tried to hijack the G7 conference with his usual, personal grievance bullshit and to make the entire conference all about HIM, like he always does. But they weren't having it and they told him to go home and get his f*cking shine box. So now, he's leaving in a huff because they hurt his childish, rodentine feelings.
