In a fiery weekend statement, President Donald Trump announced a sweeping new directive calling for what he described as the “largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History.” Posted to his Truth Social platform on Sunday, Trump’s message laid out aggressive immigration enforcement plans targeting major U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.
“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,” Trump wrote. “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.”
He claimed that major urban areas are being “used” by Democrats as hubs for illegal immigration and voter manipulation. “In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities… where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good-paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens,” he said.
Trump, who remains a dominant figure in Republican politics, also accused Democratic leaders of deliberately undermining American cities. “These Radical Left Democrats are sick in the mind, hate our Country, and want to destroy our Inner Cities, and they are doing a good job of it!” he stated.
“That is why they believe in Open Borders, Transgender for Everybody, and Men playing in Women’s Sports.” In a particularly pointed passage, Trump directed immigration authorities to focus on areas where so-called sanctuary policies protect undocumented individuals. “I want ICE, Border Patrol, and our Great and Patriotic Law Enforcement Officers, to FOCUS on our crime-ridden and deadly Inner Cities, and those places where Sanctuary Cities play such a big role,” he wrote.
He also rallied support for federal agencies involved in the operation, including ICE, the FBI, DEA, ATF, and even the Pentagon. “The American People want our Cities, Schools, and Communities to be SAFE and FREE from Illegal Alien Crime, Conflict, and Chaos… Our Federal Government will continue to be focused on the REMIGRATION of Aliens to the places from where they came,” he said.
Trump concluded with a command-style call to action: “To ICE, FBI, DEA, ATF, the Patriots at the Pentagon and the State Department, you have my unwavering support. Now go, GET THE JOB DONE! DJT” His announcement sparked immediate backlash from immigration advocates and civil rights groups, who say the plan would promote fear and destabilize vulnerable communities across the country.
