(Adnkronos) – US President Donald Trump has ordered the extension of the detention and deportation of migrants across the country, as protests against his anti-migration policies continue. In a post on Truth Social, the Tycoon invited federal agencies to “do everything in their power” to carry out “the largest mass deportation program in history”, indicating Los Angeles, Chicago and New York as specific targets.
These cities are among the many where, starting June 6, large-scale protests have erupted against raids on irregular migrants. Trump has faced legal challenges and criticism for his response to the protests, particularly for the use of the army to quell the demonstrations. Trump said he had ordered “the entire administration to invest all possible resources in this effort”. He also promised to prevent anyone who “jeopardizes the internal tranquility of the United States” from entering the country.
