Trump directs ICE to expand deportation efforts in Democratic-run cities
by Alex Gangitano - 06/15/25 10:32 PM ETPresident Trump on Sunday night directed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to expand deportation efforts in cities run by Democrats following protests in Los Angeles over his immigration policies.
The president called on ICE “to do all in their power” to help reach the administration’s mass deportation goals, singling out Los Angeles, Chicago and New York for ramped-up enforcement efforts.
White House aide Stephen Miller said last month that the administration’s goals were a minimum of 3,000 ICE arrests per day.
“Our Nation’s ICE Officers have shown incredible strength, determination, and courage as they facilitate a very important mission, the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History. Every day, the Brave Men and Women of ICE are subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians, but nothing will stop us from executing our mission, and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History,” the president added.
Trump called on federal agents to “expand efforts” to detain and deport in the country’s most populous cities, “where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside.”
