“US President Donald Trump has ordered an expansion of the [abduction] and deportation of migrants across the country as protests against his policies continue. In a post on Truth Social, Trump called on federal agencies to ‘do all in their power’ to deliver ‘the single largest mass deportation programme in history,’ naming Los Angeles, Chicago and New York as specific targets. These cities are among the many where large-scale protests have broken out against raids on undocumented migrants since 6 June. … Trump also ordered immigration authorities to focus their efforts on sanctuary cities – those that limit their assistance to federal immigration authorities — which during the protests have become a source of tension between federal and state lawmakers.” (06/16/25)
