A tough new campaign against migrants is being launched in the United States amid legal challenges and mass protests. About this informs Bloomberg.
Donald Trump has instructed federal agencies to increase efforts to forcibly deport migrants in the country’s largest cities, seeking to reduce the negative impact of these measures on key sectors of the US economy.
“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been ordered to do everything in their power to achieve the extremely important goal of carrying out the largest mass deportation program in history,”— Trump said.
He emphasized the need to intensify the detention and deportation of illegal migrants in such megacities as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, where “millions of illegals live”. The announcement came amid protests and lawsuits that have accompanied the administration’s new immigration initiatives.
The decision to strengthen migration control in large cities, where the electorate of Democrats prevails, was adopted after the head of the White House recognized the negative consequences of the migration policy for rural regions, which lost part of the workers in the agricultural sector. Trump promised to develop new approaches that would take into account the interests of employers in agriculture and the hotel business.
