US deportation drive: Trump orders US agencies to expand efforts, 'get the job done'; crack down on illegal immigrants in 'sanctuary cities'
US President Donald Trump has ordered federal immigration officials to prioritise deportations in Democratic-led cities following widespread protests in Los Angeles and other major urban centers against his administration's immigration policies.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump urged ICE agents "to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History."
He emphasized that to accomplish this, officials "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."
This announcement follows weeks of intensified enforcement and remarks from Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff and chief architect of Trump's immigration strategy, who stated that ICE officers would aim for at least 3,000 arrests per day—an increase from approximately 650 daily arrests during the first five months of Trump's second term.
Simultaneously, the administration has instructed immigration agents to pause arrests at farms, restaurants, and hotels after Trump expressed concern about the negative effects of aggressive enforcement on these industries, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter who requested anonymity.
Trump's post
In his post, Trump said: "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.

Every day, the Brave Men and Women of ICE are subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians, but nothing will stop us from executing our mission, and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People.
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."
"In order to achieve this, 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. 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.
These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities — And they are doing a good job of it! There is something wrong with them. That is why they believe in Open Borders, Transgender for Everybody, and Men playing in Women's Sports — And that is why I want ICE, Border Patrol, and our Great and Patriotic Law Enforcement Officers, to FOCUS on our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities, and those places where Sanctuary Cities play such a big role. You don't hear about Sanctuary Cities in our Heartland!"
"I want our Brave ICE Officers to know that REAL Americans are cheering you on every day.
The American People want our Cities, Schools, and Communities to be SAFE and FREE from Illegal Alien Crime, Conflict, and Chaos. That's why I have directed my entire Administration to put every resource possible behind this effort, and reverse the tide of Mass Destruction Migration that has turned once Idyllic Towns into scenes of Third World Dystopia.
Our Federal Government will continue to be focused on the REMIGRATION of Aliens to the places from where they came, and preventing the admission of ANYONE who undermines the domestic tranquility of the United States."
"To ICE, FBI, DEA, ATF, the Patriots at Pentagon and the State Department, you have my unwavering support. Now go, GET THE JOB DONE! DJT."

Viral videos show Tehran's highways jammed as Iranians flee after Trump's urgent evacuation call; ‘Many fear the…'
Amid Iran and Israel's escalating tensions, videos of crowded highways that have been making the rounds on social media suggest many Iranians fled Tehran on Monday. The videos come as President Donald Trump posted an urgent warning on Truth Social on Monday, saying, "Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" His alert seemingly prompted the departure. 'Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again,' he added. '#Iran: thousands and thousands of Iranians are fleeing #Tehran tonight following a post by Trump calling on residents to evacuate the capital,' read a post by Freelance journalist Thomas van Linge. 'Many fear the US will join the Israeli attacks on the country, which would be another extremely dangerous escalation,' he added. Meanwhile, one X user claimed that he spoke to his mother and his family is leaving Tehran. 'Spoke to my mom minutes ago. They're leaving Tehran. Everyone is trying to leave Tehran. Whether they will be able to is a different question. The roads are packed to the point of literal non-movement,' Kev Joon stated.

Israel started a flurry of airstrikes against Iran last week, aiming to hit key nuclear sites, scientists, and the military and intelligence leadership of the nation. The fighting has resulted in several deaths and injuries on both sides. There are almost 10 million people living in Tehran, which is equal to the total population of Israel. Residents have been leaving the city since the start of the fighting. Images and videos shared on social media depict heavy traffic on a highway leaving Tehran and minimal traffic entering the capital. Israel said that its surprise attacks on Iran on Friday were required to stop its enemy from obtaining nuclear weapons. Israel has often accused Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons, a claim that Tehran has always denied. Iran's counterattacks have so far left at least 500 people wounded and 24 dead in Israel, while Israel's missiles have taken lives of at least 224 people since Friday.

'One-Sided Rhetoric': Iran Slams G7 For Siding With Israel In De-Escalation Call
Last Updated: At the G7 summit in Canada, leaders - including US President Donald Trump - had called for "de-escalation" of the conflict while saying Israel had the right to defend itself. Iran accused the G7 group of siding with Israel in its call for 'de-escalation" in their intensifying conflict, which has now entered its fifth day. Tehran said it was defending itself against 'cruel aggression" and hundreds of people had been killed in the Israeli offensive. 'The G7 must give up its one-sided rhetoric and tackle the real source of the escalation — Israel's aggression," said Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei. 'Israel has launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran… in violation of… the UN Charter." At the G7 summit in Canada on Monday, leaders, including US President Donald Trump, had called for 'de-escalation" of the conflict while stressing Israel had the right to defend itself. The G7 leaders said Iran was the main source of instability in the region", adding that it could never have a nuclear weapon". The air war between Iran and Israel – which began on Friday when Israel attacked Iran with air strikes – has raised alarms in a region that had already been on edge since the start of Israel's military assault on Gaza in October 2023. 'Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror. We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. We urge that the resolution of the Iranian crisis leads to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East," said the G7 statement. Israel attacked Iran on Friday in what it called a preemptive strike to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons, killing at least 224 people so far. Iran responded by launching hundreds of missiles and drones into Israel, killing 24 people. Iran has denied seeking nuclear weapons and has said it has the right to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, including enrichment, as a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Meanwhile, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said meanwhile that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei could face the same fate as Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, who was toppled in a U.S.-led invasion and eventually hanged after a trial. 'I warn the Iranian dictator against continuing to commit war crimes and fire missiles at Israeli citizens," Katz told top Israeli military officials. Shortly after, Iran's state media reported an explosion was heard in Tehran. Israel's military said Iran's military leadership is 'on the run" and that it had killed Iran's wartime chief of staff Ali Shadmani overnight four days into his job after replacing another top commander killed in the strikes.
