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?

          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).

        • “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

        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.

      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 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…
