Trump’s latest directive is sure to send ripples across the nation. Through Truth Social, the president issued a direct order to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to prioritize deportations in major Democratic-led cities.
The timing was the aspect that was most fascinating, however. The announcement came right in the midst of the growing “No Kings” protests that have been happening in pockets around the nation. The protests have since gained international attention due to widespread celebrity presence. Trump was well aware of this and, seemingly as a response, issued this very questionable directive as he was on his way to the G7 meeting with fellow heads of state.
