President Donald Trump directed federal officials to expand efforts to deport migrants in the largest US cities in the face of protests and court challenges, even as his administration is looking to ease the impact of the crackdown on key sectors of the American workforce.

President Donald Trump issued a new social media proclamation Sunday night directing federal officials to prioritize deportations from New York and other Democrat-run cities, a move that comes after large protests erupted across the country in response to his administration’s immigration enforcement policies.

Millions protested against President Donald Trump's policies. Trump responded by ordering ICE to conduct mass deportations. The order targets cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. Trump claims these cities use undocumented immigrants to boost Democratic power.
