Chicago saw tens of thousands of people march against the president and his anti-immigrant policies at Saturday's No Kings rally, and local leaders are bracing for more raids.

President Donald Trump on Sunday directed federal immigration officials to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities.

Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post on Sunday night, where he called on ICE officers to "reverse the tide of Mass Destruction Migration."

Donald Trump is targeting big cities like Chicago, led by Mayor Brandon Johnson, for the next phase of his mass-deportation agenda.

President Trump pledges to use "every resource possible' on ICE raids in Democratic cities, including Los Angeles.

A day after President Donald Trump directed officials to prioritize deportations from large cities, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker hammered the idea.

Chicago may be in for more ICE raids as President Donald Trump has ordered expanded deportations in Democratic cities.

President Donald Trump directed federal officials to expand efforts to deport migrants in the largest US cities in the face of protests and court challenges, even as his administration is looking to ease the impact of the crackdown on key sectors of the American workforce.

"I understand we need to serve all of our people, but President Trump is putting Americans first," Republican Party of New Mexico Chairwoman Amy Barela said.
