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
