Why Did Trump Tip Off Immigrants That ICE Will Begin Deporting 'Millions' Next Week?

President Trump recently cleaned house at the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement so he could take a more aggressive approach to immigration. He revealed part of this approach on Monday night, tweeting that next week ICE “will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States.”

President Trump recently cleaned house at the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement so he could take a more aggressive approach to immigration. He revealed part of this approach on Monday night, tweeting that next week ICE “will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States.”


According to the Washington Post, Trump forced Kirsten Nielsen to resign as DSH secretary and rescinded the nomination of Ron Vitiello to become the new ICE director in April in part because of their hesitancy to move forward with the plan the president announced on Monday. Last year, the Justice Department processed the deportation orders of thousands of undocumented families, but Nielsen and Vitiello were concerned about the complications that could arise from actually removing them from the United States en masse. So Trump replaced them.

Trump, his top immigration adviser Stephen Miller, and other supporters of the plan, which will largely affect families, reportedly want to send a message to any migrants considering crossing the border. Deterrence was also the driving force behind the administration’s policy of separating children from their parents at the border. The mass arrests the president says will begin next week could result in the splitting up of thousands of families who have been living in the United States for years, if not decades.

5. "separating children from their parents"

is one of the UN's definitions of genocide.

Genocide is one of the greatest crimes under international law, often called the "crime of crimes" after the Nuremburg Trials.
According to Article 2 of the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines genocide as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such

1....killing members of the group;

2....causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

3....deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in ......whole or in part;

4... imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

5....forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

6. I understand that the immigration system just needs to be fixed

but these cruel SOBs have a continual "hard-on" for attacking immigrants.

7. Where did he get the funding for all this?

Trump lies! Congress has passed no such legislation. The House certainly wouldn't bring up any bill to support Trump's racist schemes.

He's lying. Coming right before his big 2020 campaign kickoff rally, he just concocted this tall tale to impress his zombie horde. There is no money for any massive nationally planned arrests of immigrants.
