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.
Sure looks illegal to me. I keep hoping one of his crimes will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back, but damned if this isn’t one tough camel.
The post in question:
If he knows there are millions and millions of illegal aliens, why is he rounding up the legal ones?
Ding! Ding! Ding!
This is why I am having a hard time feeling bad for Trump supporters who just found out that Trump wants them out too despite them being legal residents. There were never enough undocumented immigrants to meet the deportation numbers he wants. He was always planning on cancelling work and student visas and anything else to kick brown people out of the country.
It’s exactly that. If he wants to kick out all the international students and such, all he has to do is withdraw from NPT (I can actually see them doing this).
He’s a racist piece of shit
- “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 got Stephen Miller’s fingerprints all over it.
Any semi-coherent post from Donnie is written by someone other than him. If he posted it he would have gotten distracted halfway through.
Trump is a desperate pathetic wannabe despot and should be treated like the bitch he is. Tied up to a fuckin post for everyone to gawk at. ICE should be treated with the same contempt.
I would also like a pony.
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.
Illegal aliens is starting to sound a lot like “Jews”.
I wouldn’t be surprised if our president went off an bankers next.
Ok courts, time to do your job, put this guy in check. This “official act” is unconstitutional and illegal, come on, do something.
I don’t think there’s “legal” and “illegal” anymore in the US. It’s “allowed” or “not allowed” by the king+oligarch.
I always find it amusing that Republicans are so stupid they can listen to Trump simultaneously say that immigrants are taking all the good paying jobs but they are also lazy welfare parasites…
Yes, that’s actually part of the fascist mindset. It brings to mind Umberto Eco’s 14 Common Features of Fascism, well, this one, anyway.
- The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”
Just as Biden was a doddering old fool who kept falling asleep, he was at the same time was a sinister mastermind running the deep state and destroying America. Modern American conservatives have no difficulty holding opposing concepts like these in mind at the same time. They are immune to cognitive dissonance.
They think with their feelings. Whatever strokes their ego, or entertains them, they’ll believe.
“Legal” doesn’t mean shit if no one enforces it.
Alas, nothing has been enforced yet.
Will it? Will judicial orders ever be enforced? I don’t know.
What will it take for it to happen? Something ugly?
Radical Democrats is awfully close to illegal Democrats.
I want our Brave ICE Officers to know that REAL Americans are cheering you on every day
Oh, how subtle. If you’re not cheering ICE on, you’re not a REAL American. So you should be deported too!
Many people are saying you’re insufficiently patriotic in support of Dear Leader, Herr jwiggler.
Trump wants a whole country of people who cheer him and whatever he says.
Weren’t the protests in pretty much every city in the country?
The best I saw reporting in was a town of 800 in deep red Trump country with a turnout of 400. Wish I could remember the town. Faiy certain it was a rey on Lemmy but may have been bluesky.
175 people showed up in Pulaski, TN. I live about an hour from there. That’s where the KKK was founded. Deep as red gets (At least in my experience)
That’s a solid 2% of the town
No one in OK is tearing down my “Defund ICE” signs.
Are they literate enough to tell “Defund” from “Defend”?
Possibility. The pro-trans messaging I leave often gets a fairly violent reaction. Someone destroyed a Dollar Tree bathroom over a couple of stickers I left behind once.
Damn dude, if you tag a cop car you can get them into a fash-on-fash fight
About 2100 locations, per Indivisible. So yeah, ICE gonna be spread thin, I guess.
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.
Right?? The official logo on the site is amazing as well. I want a decal of it for my car tbh. Everything about this movement is so well put together
No Kings the 2nd
Yeah, I think it took at least 4 or 5 well-named peaceful protests to stop the Nazis, so you’re right on track.
I hate this criticism so much. You want others to start an armed revolution that you won’t.
It’s peak arm chair hypocrisy
Absolutely this. Nothing more craven than asking others to kill on your behalf.
Fix your own country. We’ve been telling you for decades this was going to happen.
If you’re comparing this to the Nazis, you’d better be prepping for what happened in WWII. Except that America and Russia are going to be the Axis this time.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Right so you think you have the moral imperative to tell me to risk my life to change the government in a country you don’t even live in?
Fine, don’t. No doubt you’ve done absolutely all you can. Have a seat, relax. Someone will be along to save you, I’m sure. Probably.
It’s always easier to send someone else to die isn’t it?
I’m politically involved, and plan to continue to be. I’m sorry that there’s not enough bloodshed for you
👍
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.
Every single thing you mentioned was there at that march. That’s why it was so successful, because everyone who is pissed off felt welcome.
In which elementary grade you are and hasn’t ChatGPT explain you already what a protest is?
Like “woke”. I get what you mean.
We’re already expecting the spite, personal attacks … even smaller places. My town is still pissed off from the last few weeks
- masked thugs kidnapped a guy off the street and left his kid abandoned on the sidewalk (neighbors got him home)
- other masked thugs roughed up and arrested a city councilor exercising his right to take videos from an appropriate distance
But don’t you remember that time Biden said, “I want double, triple vaccinations in red states! They’ll pay for calling COVID ‘the flu’!” /s
Keep sharing this, The Tramp’s grandfather was an immigrant from Germany, fleeing mandatory conscription to the army. Due to this, he was banned from the German Empire.

Literally gestapo
Hey DOGE! I found the waste, fraud, and corruption. ICE.
He’s getting away with it.
I guess we really do have a king.
Please. Send them here. In clearly labeled vehicles. With nice uniforms that have large letters.
We’d like to see their faces too.
Otherwise how we supposed to know they’re not reich-wing political assassins or cartel gang members in disguise? They could fake their ID and warrants as well, better just capture them and work it all out in court, in front of a judge. Which is better than they’re offering, or deserve
Gonna be fun when they run outta money. Are those racist fucks gonna work without pay?
theyre very passionate about their work
They’re also just gonna tax the fuck out of us to do this.
Money printer go brrrr
…naw, they’ll just use looting as payment, arrest people to deport and keep their stuff
Stop payment of federal taxes
Newsom is already threatening to do exactly that.
And when there are no more illegal immigrants, guess who is going to have to fill in for their jobs and pay level.
When there are no more illegal immigrants, who will Trump gun for next?
Indians. Mark my words. The nativist/racist MAGAts HATE Indians! If only the Indian Trump voters realized this. JD Vance doenst have full respect of MAGA because of his wife Usha, who he does still care about on some level.
Legal immigrants are already getting deported and detained so that seems look like the much more likely group died next
How do they not see the inherent hypocrisy in being anti-immigrant but thinking white people have more of a right to be in America than natives
East Indians, not First Nations.
EastIndians, not First Nations.Absolutely correct, the fact of the matter was OP was confused about native Americans being called Indians and therefore I made the distinction.
Sorry, I got a little butt-hurt, being Indian myself. I always hated the “East/West” prefix about my people and the First Nation folks.
“They’re not Indians! They’re a completely different group of people! They and we don’t need a cardinal direction!”
I’ve been spouting this shit since grade-school, but I think it’s safe to say that people here on Lemmy get it, for the most part.
Indians, Chinese, or Muslims is my guess.
Just pick an ethnicity (except caucasian)
Trump is stupid enough to accidentally target Caucasians, not realizing it’s a synonym for white people
All 2200+ of them huh?
