President Donald Trump explained that he is planning on having his administration target Democratic cities as a part of its latest deportation efforts.
Trump posted a Truth Social on Sunday that he is directing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to expand its deportation operations to “America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.” The president added that these cities are the “core of the Democrat Power Center.” Trump explained his Truth Social while at the G7 Summit on Monday, telling reporters that he wants to go after “sanctuary cities” because they have been “overrun by criminals.”
“I want them to focus on the cities, because the cities are where you really have what’s called sanctuary cities, and that’s where the people are. I look at New York. I look at Chicago. I mean, you got a really bad governor in Chicago and a bad mayor, but the governor is probably the worst in the country — Pritzker — but I look at how that city has been overrun by criminals,” Trump said, naming New York and Los Angeles as well.
