Trump orders deportation campaign
The Mercury
|June 17, 2025
US President Donald Trump directed federal authorities to ramp up deportation efforts in Democratic-led cities at the weekend, doubling down on a politicized anti-immigration drive after major protests in Los Angeles.
-
“We must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside,” Trump said.
“These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center,’ he claimed, citing debunked right-wing conspiracy theories that undocumented immigrants are voting in US elections in significant numbers.
Trump has made deporting undocumented immigrants a key priority for his second term, after successfully campaigning against an alleged “invasion” by criminals.
Raids by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency in Los Angeles have sparked days of mainly peaceful protests, though they have seen sporadic violence at times.
