United States President Donald Trump ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to "do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History."

"In order to achieve this, we 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 said of the Democratic-run cities. His comments come amid a legal challenge over his deployment of the National Guard and US Marines to anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles.

"I have directed my entire Administration to put every resource possible behind this effort, and reverse the tide of Mass Destruction Migration that has turned once Idyllic Towns into scenes of Third World Dystopia," Trump wrote in a lengthy post on Truth Social.
