Trump orders ‘largest mass deportation in history'
US President Donald Trump has instructed federal agents to dramatically ramp up deportations of illegal migrants from Democrat-led cities after riots swept Los Angeles.
In a post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday evening, Trump instructed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents 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,' he added.
Trump went on to claim that the Democrats are using illegal migrants to 'expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens.'
Many Democratic strongholds, including Los Angeles and Chicago, are restricting their cooperation with federal immigration agents under their sanctuary laws – the policies Trump and Republicans have long opposed.
California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have condemned Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard and active-duty Marines to help quell the unrest sparked last week by ICE raids. Newsom argued that the move was unlawful and sued Trump and the Pentagon.
'Donald Trump is creating fear and terror by failing to adhere to the US Constitution and overstepping his authority,' the governor said.
A curfew has been imposed on parts of downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday following days of looting, vandalism, and clashes with police.
During his election campaign, Trump vowed to undo what he described as 'open-border' policies under his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, who oversaw the influx of migrants across the border with Mexico.

Trump warns Iran not to attack the US
US President Donald Trump has warned Tehran of retaliation 'at levels never seen before' if it decides to attack America in any way amid the escalation between Iran and Israel. On Saturday, Fars News Agency reported, citing a source with access to the military leadership in Tehran, that the Iranian response to the IDF's strikes on the country 'will spread to all areas occupied by this [Israeli] regime and related US bases in the region in the coming days.' Tehran's ambassador to the UN, Amir Iravani, said earlier that the American support for West Jerusalem has made Washington complicit in Israeli aggression against Iran. Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Sunday to caution Tehran, saying 'if we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.' The president insisted that 'the US had nothing to do with the attack on Iran tonight.' He also urged Tehran to return to diplomacy, claiming 'we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict.' The sixth round of nuclear talks between Washington and Tehran, which had been scheduled to take place in Oman on Sunday, was canceled after Israel hit multiple targets across Iran on Friday, including uranium enrichment sites, while also assassinating several senior military commanders and scientists. West Jerusalem described the attack as a preemptive measure aimed at stopping Tehran from acquiring a nuclear bomb. Iran, which has repeatedly denied pursuing a military nuclear program, said the airstrikes were tantamount to a declaration of war and responded by launching multiple volleys of ballistic missiles at targets in Israel, including in the country's largest city, Tel Aviv. The two countries continued to exchange strikes overnight, with Israel hitting Iran's energy infrastructure and what it called sites 'related to the Iranian regime's nuclear weapons project.' Tehran responded by firing more missiles at targets across Israel, including near Haifa and Tel Aviv, killing at least 10 people and wounding around 200 others, according to medics and media

Trump ‘open' to Putin as Iran-Israel mediator
US President Donald Trump said on Sunday he is open to Russian President Vladimir Putin serving as a mediator in the Israel-Iran conflict. In an hour-long phone call the previous day, the two leaders focused on the Middle East crisis. 'Yeah, I would be open to it. He is ready. He called me about it,' Trump responded to ABC News' Rachel Scott, when asked about Putin's potential role in brokering peace. 'We had a long talk about it. We talked about this more than his situation. This is something I believe is going to get resolved,' Trump added. After the phone call the Kremlin later said that Putin had condemned Israel's strikes on Iran and expressed concern over further escalation, while reiterating Russia's willingness to facilitate negotiations. Putin recalled that Moscow had previously proposed concrete measures to facilitate 'mutually acceptable agreements' in US-Iran nuclear negotiations before the current escalation, presidential aide Yuri Ushakov revealed. 'Russia's principled position and commitment to resolving this issue remain unchanged,' Ushakov stated. 'As President Putin emphasized, we will continue to act accordingly.' Despite the cancellation of Oman-mediated nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington following Israel's strikes, Trump maintained that discussions continued. 'They'd like to make a deal. They're talking,' he said, suggesting the escalation might actually accelerate diplomacy. When asked about possible American engagement in the conflict, Trump stated: 'We're not involved in it. It's possible we could get involved. But we are not at this moment involved.' The conflict in the Middle East escalated on June 12 when Israel struck Iranian nuclear sites, killing senior military officials and prompting retaliatory missile barrages from Tehran. Both sides have exchanged fire for a third straight day.
