Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post on Sunday night, where he called on ICE officers to "reverse the tide of Mass Destruction Migration."

President Donald Trump issued a new social media proclamation Sunday night directing federal officials to prioritize deportations from New York and other Democrat-run cities, a move that comes after large protests erupted across the country in response to his administration’s immigration enforcement policies.

Even as he eases deportations in Trump-friendly industries and places, the president is using ICE as an instrument of partisan warfare.
