Trump calls on ‘sanctuary cities’ to partner with ICE to deport ‘criminal illegal aliens’

President Trump on Sunday called on Democratic politicians to “partner” with his administration to protect American citizens in the “rapid removal” of all criminal “illegal aliens” in the U.S.”This Deportation effort is underway, and in Republican run Cities and States, these operations are going peacefully and smoothly, because Local Law Enforcement Officers are allowed to work with their Federal counterparts,” he wrote on Truth Social. 
“For example, in the five Republican run States of Texas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Louisiana, ICE has arrested 150,245 Criminal Illegal Aliens over the past year — with ZERO protests, riots, or chaos. Why? Because Local Police and ICE are cooperating and working together,” he added. Trump said Democrat-run sanctuary cities and states continue to refuse to cooperate with ICE.
“And they are actually encouraging Leftwing Agitators to unlawfully obstruct their operations to arrest the Worst of the Worst People! By doing this, Democrats are putting Illegal Alien Criminals over Taxpaying, Law-Abiding Citizens, and they have created dangerous circumstances for EVERYONE involved. Tragically, two American Citizens have lost their lives as a result of this Democrat ensued chaos,” he wrote.
“That is why I am hereby calling on Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and EVERY Democrat Governor and Mayor in the United States of America to formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation’s Laws, rather than resist and stoke the flames of Division, Chaos, and Violence,” he added. Trump said Walz and Frey “should turn over” every “criminal illegal alien” currently incarcerated in their state prisons and jails to federal authorities, along with all illegal criminals with an “active warrant or known criminal history” so they can be immediately deported. Trump also wrote that state and local law enforcement “must agree to turn over all illegal aliens” who are arrested by local police. “Local Police must assist Federal Law Enforcement in apprehending and detaining Illegal Aliens who are wanted for Crimes,” he wrote. “Democrat Politicians must partner with the Federal Government to protect American Citizens in the rapid removal of all Criminal Illegal Aliens in our Country. Some Democrats, in places like Memphis, Tennessee, or Washington, D.C., have done so, resulting in safer streets for ALL.” He called on Congress to “immediately pass Legislation to END Sanctuary Cities, which is the root cause of all of these problems.”
He wrote that American cities “should be Safe Sanctuaries for Law Abiding American Citizens ONLY, not Illegal Alien Criminals who broke our Nation’s Laws.” Trump described his requests as “rooted in common sense.”
He added that the Trump Administration is “standing by, and waiting for ANY Democrat to do the right thing, and work with us on these important matters of MAKING AMERICA SAFE like it is in all sections of our Country where we are, together with Local Leadership, participating and involved.”
