about removing illegals in LA, Chicago and New York.
The plan really is to invade Democratic cities and remove their leaders just like costume Gnome declared last week.

President Donald Trump is directing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to prioritize deportations in Democratic-run cities while he pauses arrests at farms, restaurants and hotels across the country.

'Trump orders ICE to step up deportation efforts in Democrat-run cities'
"Trump wrote via Truth Social he's ordering ICE officers to 'do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.'"
"To achieve this, Trump wrote 'we 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.'"
"He added that these and other cities were the 'core of the Democrat Power Center' as he echoed baseless claims he made during the 2024 presidential election about Democrats using undocumented immigrants to 'cheat in Elections,' among other allegations that he did not provide evidence on."

(5,832 posts)Is the real issue any longer. He's come right out and enumerated it... democratic led states and cities. Where's all this states rights bull now? He said he was gonna take out his enemies before the cult elected him. And yet, we still didn't believe him! He has declared was not only on democracy but also democrats. The VA can now turn you away from care simply for being a democrat. It's expanding. Musk has given him everyone's data. How safe at this point should we feel that our voter registration won't send us to a concentration camp or prison? I can see him doing this... it ain't a stretch from what he's already done. He's come home for immigrants, he's come for women and POC. One more box label, that's what a democrat is.

I've read that the LAUSD police will be setting up perimeters to protect students and their families during graduation ceremonies. This is a perfect example of how it can be used.
