US President Donald Trump has ordered the detention and exile of migrants across the country as protests against his policies continue.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump called the federal agencies to “give the biggest public exile program” to all “in their power”, named Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York as specific goals.
These cities are many where there have been large -scale protests against the raids on unspecified migrants from 6 June.
Trump has faced legal challenges and criticism to his response to protests – especially their army deployment to reduce demonstrations.
Trump said that he had “instructed the entire administration to make every resource possible behind this effort”.
He promised to stop “anyone who reduces the domestic peace of the United States”.
Addressing various federal offices including Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), he wrote “You have my unwavering support. Now go, get the work done!”
