President Donald Trump called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to expand deportation efforts in Democratic cities and “do all in their power” to achieve mass deportations in a social media post Sunday.

“ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History,” the president posted on Truth Social as he traveled on Air Force One to Canada for the G7 summit.

The president’s post comes as CNN has reported that ICE has been racing to meet White House arrest quotas and on the heels of Trump acknowledging that his immigration policies have impacted farm workers and those in the hospitality industry.

.......

The president also directed ICE to “expand efforts” in “the Democrat Power Center” while claiming without evidence that his political opponents are using “Illegal Aliens” to “cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State.”

Applegrove:

Trump is gunning to destabilize Democratic economies who rely on undocumented workers. Trump sure like choosing winners and losers.

1. He learned nothing from Saturday

Not only do millions oppose him, but his support is becoming non-existent.
His proclamations and tantrums won't mean squat.
