President Donald Trump called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to expand deportation efforts in Democratic cities and “do all in their power” to achieve mass deportations in a social media post Sunday.

Julia Salazar, a state senator representing Brooklyn and Queens, said the arrest is “more evidence that ICE agents are flagrantly breaking the law.” State senator Gustavo Rivera, who covers the Bronx, said it is another example of “fascist overreach from ICE.”

President Trump on Sunday night directed federal immigration officials to prioritize deportations from Democratic-run cities, a move that comes after large protests erupted in Los Angeles and other major metropolitan areas against the Trump administration's immigration policies.
