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.
Oh, you mean most of them?
We told you soooo~ :)
Hey DOGE! I found the waste, fraud, and corruption. ICE.
Literally gestapo
He’s trying to get us mad and become violent so he can declare martial law. He wants his opposition to look more like bad guys to his fan base.
Those fucking idiots only need a pointed finger and the word “liberal” to believe something is bad.
we know ICE are less than 8k. As that’s all who attended the military parade if you’re not counting the geriatric and children who were dragged along to it
‘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.
Shouldn’t he be focused on the G7?
Trump already left G7 to supposedly “focus on the escalating Israeli-Iran conflict.”
That’s not the reason why he left. He’s leaving early because he tried to hijack the G7 conference with his usual, personal grievance bullshit and to make the entire conference all about HIM, like he always does. But they weren’t having it and they told him to go home and get his f*cking shine box. So now, he’s leaving in a huff because they hurt his childish, rodentine feelings.
“Rodentine”. I like that word and I’ll be adding it to my repertoire. Thanks!
Stop payment of federal taxes
I screamed “No ICE in Wichita” for 4 hours, and Im willing to continue that stance with a bat.
I saw someone with the classic John f Kennedy quote “those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable” on a sign that was taped to a classic wooden bat. Probably my favor sign I’ve seen yet.
Eye catching, easy to carry, makes a memorable statement, and handy if things get froggy.
I like it, a lot.
I’m willing to continue it with other weaponry.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
Gonna be fun when they run outta money. Are those racist fucks gonna work without pay?
Money printer go brrrr
…naw, they’ll just use looting as payment, arrest people to deport and keep their stuff
theyre very passionate about their work
They’re also just gonna tax the fuck out of us to do this.
Don’t pay?
Can’t tax what I don’t earn!
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
