PALM BEACH, FL — President Donald Trump issued a new statement calling for what he describes as the largest mass deportation operation of illegal immigrants in United States history, directing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to intensify efforts nationwide.
In a social media post, Trump praised ICE officers for their “incredible strength, determination, and courage” while claiming they are subjected to “violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians.” He emphasized that ICE officers are “herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power” to achieve the administration’s deportation goals.
Trump specifically targeted major cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where he said “millions of illegal aliens reside.” He accused Democrats of using undocumented immigrants to expand their voter base, grow welfare programs, and undermine American workers.
“These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities — And they are doing a good job of it!” Trump stated. He linked sanctuary cities, open borders, and other progressive policies to rising crime and social disorder in urban areas.
The statement repeated Trump’s longstanding position that illegal immigration fuels crime and economic instability, while pledging that his administration would commit “every resource possible” to reverse what he called “Mass Destruction Migration.”
Trump outlines federal resources and calls for law enforcement support
Trump added that his plan would involve remigration efforts, returning undocumented immigrants to their countries of origin, and preventing the admission of individuals who “undermine the domestic tranquility of the United States.”
He called on multiple federal agencies, including the FBI, DEA, ATF, Pentagon, and State Department, stating, “you have my unwavering support.” Trump concluded his message with a directive to law enforcement: “Now go, GET THE JOB DONE!”
The statement did not provide specific policy mechanisms or timelines for implementing the proposed mass deportation operation. It also did not clarify whether this directive reflects a formal policy action or a campaign pledge.
Trump’s statement is consistent with previous remarks he has made on immigration and border enforcement during his presidency and in his ongoing 2024 presidential campaign.
