The Republican president put as priority the Deportation of undocumented people In his second term, after having made a campaign against what he described as a “Invasion” of criminals in the United States.
“We have to expand efforts to stop and deport illegal foreigners in the largest cities in the United States, such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New Yorkwhere millions and millions of illegal foreigners live, ”Trump wrote in his social Truth network.
“These and other similar cities are the Core of the Democratic Power Center”, Said the president, in reference to an discredited conspiracy theory according to which irregular migrants vote in US elections in significant quantities.
The recent raids of the Customs Immigration and Control Service (ICE) in Los Angeles detonated a Series of mostly peaceful protestsalthough in some moments there have been sporadic violent acts.
Trump responded with the deployment of 4,000 national guards and 700 Marines against the will of local and state authorities.
California initiated legal measures to resume control of the guards, with the argument that the president overreacted in his duties. The lawsuit is being prosecuted in a federal court.
The mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, said on June 15 that the nightm Tax last week to stop vandalism acts during protests, “a couple more days.”

“Do the job”
On Saturday, June 14, hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated in several American cities, within the framework of a mobilization that the organizers baptized without kings To “reject authoritarianism, the policy of billionaires and militarization” of democracy in Trump’s mandate.

The former president Barack Obama joined criticism of the opposition against Trump’s deportation campaign in his account in X.
“Families with similar origins that They just want to live, work and support their communities They are being demonized and treated as enemies, ”the Democratic former president wrote.
“We can fix ours failed migration system While we continue to recognize our common humanity and treat each other with dignity and respect, ”he added.
Meanwhile, Trump continued his hard speech against migrants in a long message in Truth Social, where he denounced that “every day the brave ICE men and women are subject to violence, harassment and even threats of radical democratic politicians. ”
“Nothing will stop us executing our mission. (…) For this greater deportation program massive in history. ”
The president said that “the Democrats on the radical left They are ill of the head, They hate our country and really want to destroy our cities. And they are doing a good job in it. ”
For this reason, among others, it wants the ICE and other forces of the order to “concentrate” in “urban centers, plagued with crime and death”
In a double bet of his antimigrants speech, Trump seemed to compare migration to the United States with Weapons of mass destruction.
And he assured that he oriented his entire government to “put each possible resource behind this effort, and reverse the tide of mass destruction of migration that has turned idyllic peoples into scenarios of the third world dystopia.”
“To ICE, FBI, Dea … to the patriots in the Pentagon and the State Department, they have my unwavering support. Now go … and do the job!”, The president said.
