"I want [Agents] focus on cities, because they are where the so-called sanctuary cities are, and that's where the people [undocumented immigrants] live," Trump said from Canada, where he is for the G7 Summit. “I see New York, I see Chicago, I mean, Chicago has a really bad governor and mayor, but the governor is probably the worst in the country, [JB] Pritzker, but I see how that city has been overrun by criminals.” In the town of Kananaskis, the president pressed his argument that President Joe Biden’s administration let in 21 million immigrants, something Republicans have not proven, although their numbers include those who entered legally under the CBP One app, which was canceled. “Biden allowed 21 million people to come into our country. Of that total, the majority were murderers, gang members, people from prisons,” insisted the president, who used similar rhetoric during his campaign. Trump also made the connection between immigrants and elections, arguing that these foreigners are allowed to vote, which is prohibited by the Constitution. “Most of those people” "It's in the cities, all Democrat cities, and they think they're going to use them to vote. It's not going to happen," Trump said. The president's new message follows a new effort he ordered ICE to take action Sunday night, via a post on Truth Social. "I have directed my entire Administration to dedicate every possible resource to this initiative and reverse the tide of mass migration destruction that has turned once idyllic towns into scenes of a third-world dystopia," Trump wrote. "I give my unconditional support to ICE, FBI, DEA, ATF,the patriots of the Pentagon and the State Department.”

Over the weekend, despite protests, ICE maintained operations in Los Angeles, particularly at the Swap Meet in Santa Fe Springs.

And the suspension in certain workplaces?

President Trump’s alleged order to suspend ICE actions on farms, hotels, and restaurants remains in doubt, as there has been no official public position on the matter.

This newspaper has asked the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) twice about the change in strategy, due to pressure from economic sectors on the federal government, but there has been no response.

Last week, President Trump acknowledged that immigration operations are affecting the economy, something that had already been warned by several civil organizations that conduct studies on the economic contributions of immigrants, including undocumented ones.

“Our great farmers and the people in the hotel and leisure sector “They’ve been saying that our very aggressive immigration policy is taking away very good, long-standing workers and that those jobs are nearly impossible to replace,” the president wrote on his Truth Social account on Thursday.

The New York Times reported on a DHS order directing ICE agents not to target certain sectors.

“We will follow the president’s direction and continue working to remove the worst criminal illegal aliens from the streets of the United States,” DHS Deputy Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said of the report.

However, there is no official line on the agency’s operations, while the president openly calls for increased enforcement in sanctuary states.
