Pres. Trump and State Officials Speak on Upcoming Mass Deportation Sweep

Donald J. Trump on Twitter

The people that Ice will apprehend have already been ordered to be deported. This means that they have run from the law and run from the courts. These are people that are supposed to go back to their home country. They broke the law by coming into the country, & now by staying.

The President said, the individuals ICE are scheduled to apprehend ‘have already been ordered to be deported’ saying ‘they have run from the law and run from the courts, these are people that are supposed to go back to their home country’.

ICE will begin its massive deportation sweep Sunday, with reports saying, they plan to remove up to 2,000 illegal migrants across ten major cities.

Meanwhile, Chicago Mayor, Lori Lightfoot, says the city’s police will not cooperate with ICE in the deportation effort.

Rather, Lightfoot tweeted on Friday, that she ordered Chicago police and law enforcement officials to block ICE’s access to city department databases related to immigration.

She also said she personally reached out to ICE leadership in the city to voice her opposition to the raids.
