President Donald Trump has ordered a new blitz on Democratic cities, with massive numbers of illegal immigrants being detained for the “biggest mass deportation in history.”

The president’s new surge would bring even more ICE agents to some of America’s most populous cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York,

It marks a significant escalation following days of violent anti-ICE rallies around the country in response to Trump’s aggressive immigration policy.

“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. These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, 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,” Trump said.

Trump announced his new crackdown plans after a week of immigration enforcement actions in Los Angeles, California, during which protests turned violent. Trump responded by deploying the National Guard and hundreds of Marines.
