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?
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.
They’ll false-flag or just start killing people. They don’t need a reason anymore.
This whole “don’t have violent protests because they’ll declare martial law” is a psyop preparing people for martial law and pre-loading it with the assumption that when it does happen (and it will) it will be the fault of the protesters, despite evidence to the contrary.
Fascism 101 guys. Don’t be a sucker.
He doesn’t need to try shit. Trump does what ever the fuck he wants. Both Congress and the courts just go along with it because apparently our founding fathers wanted the president to have absolute power. The deployment of the national guard and the Marines to LA is unequivocally illegal, but Trump did it anyway and the government dosen’t seem to be in a hurry to remove the troops.
Those fucking idiots only need a pointed finger and the word “liberal” to believe something is bad.
We told you soooo~ :)
‘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!
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
We, as a people, can crush ICE.
I screamed “No ICE in Wichita” for 4 hours, and Im willing to continue that stance with a bat.
“Move ice! Get out the way! Get out the way ice, get out the way!”
The “move” part hits pretty hard when you got thousands of people hitting it together. That one was my favorite.
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.
If any terries on this here plane try getting froggy…
I’m willing to continue it with other weaponry.
Stop payment of federal taxes
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!
Sure looks illegal to me. I keep hoping one of his crimes will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back, but damned if this isn’t one tough camel.
The post in question:
I don’t think there’s “legal” and “illegal” anymore in the US. It’s “allowed” or “not allowed” by the king+oligarch.
Radical Democrats is awfully close to illegal Democrats.
If he knows there are millions and millions of illegal aliens, why is he rounding up the legal ones?
He’s a racist piece of shit
Ding! Ding! Ding!
This is why I am having a hard time feeling bad for Trump supporters who just found out that Trump wants them out too despite them being legal residents. There were never enough undocumented immigrants to meet the deportation numbers he wants. He was always planning on cancelling work and student visas and anything else to kick brown people out of the country.
It’s exactly that. If he wants to kick out all the international students and such, all he has to do is withdraw from NPT (I can actually see them doing this).
- “millions and millions” is total bs
- technically they’re probably not. It looks like they have a bunch of new unqualified people and set impossible quotas.
While I would never have sympathy for any officers knowingly complying with illegal orders, it also fits with the current administration that management is by bullying, threats, impossible demands, and no concern for correctness until a scapegoat is needed
Illegal aliens is starting to sound a lot like “Jews”.
I wouldn’t be surprised if our president went off an bankers next.
That’s got Stephen Miller’s fingerprints all over it.
Any semi-coherent post from Donnie is written by someone other than him. If he posted it he would have gotten distracted halfway through.
Although, Hegseth (or whoever wrote it) does a wonderful job with all the random Capitalization Everywhere.
That’s the TRUTH!
As far as characteristics of his “style” of bleating to camouflage ghost writing, I’d say that’s probably one of the easiest ones to do without turning your own brain into mush in the process.
Just highlight the word, a click or two, and it looks more like the Unhinged RAVINGS of the Mango Mussolini.
Exactly. That’s way too rich of a vocabulary for Trump
Plus, Trump tweets in all caps. Not because he’s angry all the time, but because he’s old and that’s the only way he can read the characters as he types them.
I had the same thought and am glad to see you’re already here with 44 upvotes. Trump is just here for the attention, cruelty and grift, but he’s not a thinker.
This is a manifesto. And apart from the consistent spelling and grammar, the capitalized words aren’t as random as Trump - way too many and too consistent. It’s certainly a mimicked style by someone who thinks they know how Trump writes.
Stephen Miller is the architect of the ICE policy and the one whipping the horses - it’s gotta be him.
Trump is a desperate pathetic wannabe despot and should be treated like the bitch he is. Tied up to a fuckin post for everyone to gawk at. ICE should be treated with the same contempt.
I would also like a pony.
Preventing admission of anyone who undermines the domestic tranquility of the United States.
Any reasonable interpretation of this means that he just gave the order to keep himself from returning.
The population of those cities combined is around 15 million. He wants to deport millions upon millions. Whatcha gonna do about the crumbling infrastructure and buildings that will become ghost towns and ruins. Can’t become great with manufacturing if we don’t have people to fill those jobs. Even “great” leaders used slaves he’s just making everywhere else greater by giving them back their labor force.
Automation + AI will reduce the demand for labor force over the next 15 years.
They’ve been saying this in some form or another practically since the Industrial Revolution itself. For many of these backbreaking jobs, immigrant laborers are cheaper and more effective than automating them. UPS and FedEx use barcodes and scanners on each package to (try to) ensure that they all get to the right address, but it’s still people shoveling them into and out of the vans.
That’s why he’s trying to criminalize any ideology besides whatever his is. RFK Jr also talked about “work camps” for people with mental health issues.
RFK’s “wellness camps” are absolutely a part of this
They will only take me to a camp in a body bag.
Ok courts, time to do your job, put this guy in check. This “official act” is unconstitutional and illegal, come on, do something.
I always find it amusing that Republicans are so stupid they can listen to Trump simultaneously say that immigrants are taking all the good paying jobs but they are also lazy welfare parasites…
Yes, that’s actually part of the fascist mindset. It brings to mind Umberto Eco’s 14 Common Features of Fascism, well, this one, anyway.
- The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”
Just as Biden was a doddering old fool who kept falling asleep, he was at the same time was a sinister mastermind running the deep state and destroying America. Modern American conservatives have no difficulty holding opposing concepts like these in mind at the same time. They are immune to cognitive dissonance.
They think with their feelings. Whatever strokes their ego, or entertains them, they’ll believe.
“Legal” doesn’t mean shit if no one enforces it.
Alas, nothing has been enforced yet.
Will it? Will judicial orders ever be enforced? I don’t know.
What will it take for it to happen? Something ugly?
