Trump orders expanded ICE raids in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City targeting Democratic strongholds
- On June 16, 2025, US President Donald Trump ordered federal immigration officials to expand ICE raids targeting Democratic-run cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.
- This directive followed weeks of increased enforcement and protests against immigration raids, reflecting Trump's campaign promise to deliver the largest mass deportation program in US history.
- Trump urged ICE officers to do all in their power to achieve the program's goals and directed his administration to put every resource behind reversing what he called 'Mass Destruction Migration'.
- Trump stated millions of undocumented immigrants reside in these cities, which he called the 'core of the Democrat Power Center,' and praised ICE for their strength despite opposition from Democratic politicians.
- The expanded raids ignited large protests nationwide, legal challenges, and tension between federal and state governments, including a lawsuit from California over control of National Guard troops deployed by Trump.
