June 16 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump announced that the nation's large Democratic-run cities are to be the new focus for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.
"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," Trump posted to his Truth Social account Sunday night.
The post goes on to order the expansion of the efforts of ICE within cities Chicago, Los Angeles and New York, where he also alleged "millions upon millions of illegal aliens reside."
Trump went on to call the cities the "core of the Democrat Power Center," each of which he purports uses migrants to control elections and expand the use of welfare in actions that he alleges simultaneously take jobs and benefits from citizens.
"These radical left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our country, and actually want to destroy our inner cities," Trump further wrote, and went on to declare the same cities believe in "transgender for everybody, and men playing in women's sports."
He went on to say he has directed his entire administration "to put every resource possible" behind the efforts of ICE, and that the federal government is 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."
Trump said Thursday there will be policy changes that promised migrant farmers and those employed across the hospitality industry would be protected from deportation after he heard complaints from others in those fields.
"Our great farmers and people in the hotel and leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace," Trump posted to Truth Social Thursday, "This is not good. We must protect our farmers but get the criminals out of the USA."

The ‘No Kings' protests were a glorious reminder of what America can be
Light drizzle didn't stop tens of thousands of Philadelphians from letting President Donald Trump know that the First Amendment is still alive. In a city notorious for unruly crowds at large sporting events, protesters were peaceful and law-abiding — as were the police. I saw a sea of American flags as well as signs protesting various Trump policies. Whether we were there to protest Trump's approach to immigration or Gaza, welfare for the rich, disregard for the Constitution or disdain for the underprivileged, we were united in the need for the First Amendment, which allows us to freely express our opinions, peacefully assemble and petition our government with our grievances.

Michigan Matters: All eyes on Canada as G7 Summit is held Michigan Matters: All eyes on Canada as G7 Summit is held Michigan Matters: All eyes on Canada as G7 Summit is held Business across Michigan and Ontario are holding their breath as leaders gather at the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada, held June 15-17, and discuss critical issues. Colin Bird, Canadian Consul General, appears on Michigan Matters to highlight some of them. At the top of the list: tariffs between the U.S. and Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is hosting the gathering, which includes President Trump and leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and other countries. Mr. Trump started the tariff volley in January after taking office, as he said they would boost American manufacturing and address what he said were illegal drugs and immigrants crossing over the border from Canada. Gardner White CEO, Rachel Stewart, and Canadian Consul General, Colin Bird, with Michigan Matters host Carol Cain. Tim Lawlis/CBS Detroit Other nations are wrapped up in tariffs too, including Mexico, China as they responded in kind with their own tariffs against the U.S. as a result. Canada is Michigan's No. 1 trading partner and vice versa, with cars, car parts, agriculture, tourism and more as products and people crossing bridges and tunnels between our state and our northern neighbor to the tune of billions each year. Then, Rachel Stewart, CEO of Gardner White, appears on the show to talk about her family-owned company borrowing a page from its past as it opens a new store in the heart of downtown Detroit. Stewart, board member of Business Leaders For Michigan, also talks about growing the population in the state and making it more competitive with other states. Stewart also discusses the importance of supporting the community as her company is a sponsor of America's Thanksgiving Parade and other endeavors.

Democrat Seeks to Limit Trump's War Powers Amid Middle East Escalation
Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat of Virginia, is leading a push to curb President Trump's authority to use U.S. forces to engage in hostilities against Iran, as the war between Israel and Iran raises fears of American entanglement in a broader conflict. A resolution Mr. Kaine introduced Monday would require explicit congressional authorization or a formal declaration of war before U.S. forces could take direct action against Iran. It faces long odds on Capitol Hill given Republicans' reluctance to challenge Mr. Trump's power, but it could prompt a vibrant debate as lawmakers in both parties warn against involving the United States in the escalating conflict. The measure is a direct invocation of the War Powers Resolution, a 1973 federal law intended to be a check on the president's power to enter an armed conflict without the consent of Congress. While it would still allow Mr. Trump to authorize military action in self-defense in the event of an imminent attack, it would compel him to seek approval before carrying out any offensive operations against Iran. 'It is not in our national security interest to get into a war with Iran unless that war is absolutely necessary to defend the United States,' Mr. Kaine said in a statement announcing the resolution. 'I am deeply concerned that the recent escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran could quickly pull the United States into another endless conflict.' Since Mr. Trump returned to office in January, Mr. Kaine has led a number of efforts to reassert congressional authority and reclaim power from the executive branch, whether by challenging presidential power over tariffs or scrutinizing U.S. military support for countries with troubling human rights records. His latest effort reflects growing concern among some on Capitol Hill about the risk of being dragged into a regional war without public debate or legislative approval, though some lawmakers have expressed a willingness to lend additional military support to Israel if tensions with Iran continue to escalate.
