Overview

• Trump directed ICE to expand detention and deportation efforts in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York to pursue his mass deportation agenda.
• The directive overturns a pause on workplace raids at farms, hotels and restaurants that had been instituted after industry warnings of labor shortages.
• Millions of protesters have taken part in No Kings demonstrations nationwide, and the White House deployed National Guard troops in Los Angeles to quell unrest.
• Opponents accuse the administration of politicizing law enforcement by singling out cities led by Democratic officials under sanctuary policies.
• ICE is reportedly $1 billion over budget and could exhaust its funds within months without additional congressional appropriations.
