Donald Trump on Sunday directed federal immigration officials to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities, a move that comes after large protests erupted in Los Angeles and other major cities against the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

Trump in a social media posting called on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials “to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.”

He added that to reach the goal officials ”must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside.”

Worst president ever. Just straight dividing the country. MAGA to blind to see it or too hateful to care.

Cancer should be renamed to MAGA

[–] Moredekai@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

And the tumor has MAGAstisied.

"...undeterred by protests"

Whenever I hear about massive peaceful protests not working to convince those in power to change... I always remember that famous quote :

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable."

President John F. Kennedy

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Yeah and the Turnip admin's goal is to make peaceful protests impossible. Like, they're literally spoiling for violence. The GOP has no idea the potential shitstorm they're enabling right now by letting him remain in power.

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 65 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trying to increase his odds of inciting violence while satisfying his vengeance fetish.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They will claim violence. But by numbers alone this can be done peacefully. ICE are cowards. They won't engage a group as large as anything we've seen in any city so far.

[–] pleasegoaway@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Engage in asymmetric warfare.

Be sneaky. And destroy inch by inch.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago (3 children)

If you see ICE in public:

-scream "ICE, LA MIGRA"

-call the local swat on them saying "there are armed men trying to kidnap my neighbor and her daughter. They aren't law enforcement and have no identification "

-or hit them with your car.

-masked men without badges pretending to be police

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Usually they do have badges.

But if you're across the street and can't see whether or not they have badges, don't mention it. All you can see is masks and guns.

[–] Airowird@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

"Masked gunmen dressed in the same loose theme, like gang colours!"

Because truth is only a weapon when it's wielded against fascists.

[–] pleasegoaway@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Call the police. “There masked gang members waving guns outside”.

Let the trash trash trashity trash itself.

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

And if you have connections to Latino organizations in your area, let them know! There are great groups rising up and getting ICE information out to vulnerable people en masse.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It was very nice of him to warn the cities.

The population knows how to gather, and they can gather quickly.

This is how this resistance becomes material. Stand up for your neighbor. Make sure your neighbors stand up too.

[–] bomberesque1@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

He's not undeterred by the protests, he's engorged by them

The lady in the picture straight up looks like the SS.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 29 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Something tells me that the MAGA base won't be too happy about this. They want the deportations to happen in their communities.

"Sorry Texas: Because you're full of MAGA people we're cutting your ICE resources."

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I've talked to so many rich white Republicans who thought the other Hispanics would be deported, not the Hispanics that they know. Leopards and faces, you know.

[–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

I just saw a comment the other day saying as much. Red states no one deported in a fashion that blue states are being targeted.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Do they really care where they get deported from though? Trump could just make up some lies about the number of people he’s deported and thru would be happy.

In fact Kristi noem could have just staged all those stupid commercials she did from El Salvador. The optics would have been enough.

[–] RagingSnarkasm@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

“The more you hate me… the more any of them hate me… the stronger I become”.

--Emperor Trump, probably

[–] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

So all major cities then... got it.

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

More of you than them. Defend yourself.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Yup.

The protests this weekend proved it. There are way more real Americans than traitors in this country. Time to let them know it.

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Defend your neighbors.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Idk he seems pretty deterred by the protests. Almost as if his yuge failure of a party upset him.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, the protests this weekend were amazing but won't do anything unless you do this all day every day non stop until he's gone.

Trump won't care anything unless he starts feeling the effects

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

This weekend, sure. However, protests like what are happening in LA are different. Rather than just being symbolic or performative, they are actually disrupting ICE activity. Every community needs to follow LAs example and protect their neighbors.

[–] PillowD@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I hope every body notices there are no riots there today...
