Trump Plans Largest ICE Raids in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York

President Trump has announced plans for what he calls the largest deportation operation in history, directing ICE agents to increase enforcement efforts in major cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, which he described as Democratic strongholds exploiting illegal immigrants to expand their voter base. These efforts have sparked protests and criticism from city leaders and Democratic officials, including California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who accuse Trump of inflaming tensions by deploying the National Guard and Marines. In response, some sanctuary cities like San Francisco have vowed to legally defend their policies against increased enforcement, with city attorneys prepared to fight any new efforts. Polling indicates significant support for Trump's immigration policies, particularly among Hispanic voters and younger generations, with many backing the prioritization of deportations for individuals with criminal records. Trump has framed his immigration actions as a form of 'remigration' aimed at preventing illegal immigration and restoring order, while blaming Democratic leaders for allowing cities to become unsafe and overwhelmed by illegal immigration. The escalating conflict highlights the deep partisan divide over immigration enforcement in urban centers across the United States.
