Trump directs ICE to expand deportation efforts in Democratic-run cities

This is Trump seeking opportunities for further military deployment in democratic-run cities and states.

at this point, its going to affect how many democrats are alive to vote next election

All that talk of businesses getting him to pullback was just wishful thinking?

I would venture the guess that this is a move meant to cripple the economies of blue cities and states.

Basically, the administration figured out that Trump's policies are poison for the economy, so they are applying them selectively.
