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.
Stop payment of federal taxes

Is this a red line
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
I’m GLAD Democrats decided NOT to Weaponize Justice while being Gunned Down! OTHERWISE ICE might think TWICE about Following Illegal Orders! FORTUNATELY if Democrats ever Take Power they’ll Pretend NOTHING ever happened!
Oh, you mean most of them?
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
Weren’t the protests in pretty much every city in the country?
About 2100 locations, per Indivisible. So yeah, ICE gonna be spread thin, I guess.
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.
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
Defundly not.
I wish I could do this, but despite being a citizen, I am not white, and worry it’d put a target on my back.
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
Literally gestapo
Trump wants ICE to get shot
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
And when there 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
‘No Kings’ protest cities
So … like all the cities?
ICE doesn’t have enough people to intimidate a single blue city, let alone the country. They can’t even operate in Los Angeles without the backup of a small number of National Guard and Marines and they’re doing that illegal action over the governor’s explicit objections.
ICE are a bunch of cowards, doing safe, comfortable hits in suburbs and on people who are complying with the law. (Immigration hearings and workplaces.)
When I saw the pictures of the protests in multiple cities, I realized that ICE, law enforcement, and the military don’t stand a chance. They might be able to wipe out one protest, maybe even 2 or 3, but they could never get them all, and it’s likely they’d be spread so thin, they couldn’t significantly impact any of them.
They have to be looking at the sizes of those protests, and getting worried. And they know there are plenty more at home. All they have is intimidation, the fear of violence, but now they know they are badly outnumbered, and the people know it, too.
Crackdowns on these cities is a sign of panic, and panic is very dangerous. Stay alert, Patriots.
This has kind of been the plan from the begining. He’s trying to set metros to be in the position NYC was when he bought it for cheap.
COVID blaming cities, riots flamed to get people to move out and not want to be there. It’s geo politics. Once it gets shitty enough he will just buy up property and market it to wealthy.
That’s the game. Homies got his hustle. Mainstream or street it’s all the same evil.
How is this man our president
We’re an empire in decline. I imagine we’d probably feel quite a deal of spiritual kinship with Romans living under Nero or Caligula

Broken election system that let’s the PACs and the rich control it. Ban PAC donations and limit campaign funding.
We told you soooo~ :)
