Trump Orders Intensified Mass Deportations in Democratic Cities, Pauses Operations in Key Industries

Washington D.C. – Former President Donald Trump has issued a directive to federal immigration agents, ordering them to prioritize mass deportations in major cities governed by Democrats, including Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. The move aims to significantly increase the number of daily arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). According to the directive, ICE is now tasked with conducting at least 3,000 arrests daily, a substantial increase compared to the average of 650 daily arrests observed during the initial months of his previous term. This aggressive policy has been met with protests across the country, with some demonstrations reportedly involving the use of tear gas and projectiles by police to disperse crowds. Simultaneously, the Trump administration has announced a temporary halt to detention operations in key sectors such as agriculture, restaurants, and hotels. This pause reportedly stems from concerns expressed by the former president regarding the potential economic impact of widespread deportations on these vital industries, which heavily rely on undocumented workers.
