Trump Insists ICE Raids Haven't 'Gone Far Enough' and Are Stifled By 'Liberal Judges' During Stern '60 Minutes' Interview
"President Donald Trump said he would like to see ICE get even more aggressive with deporting illegal immigrants, but that its mission is being thwarted by liberal judges who are getting in the way. The president shared his view on the matter during an interview with 60 Minutes on Sunday; his administration's Rapid Response 47 account on X shared a few preview clips of his interview, which is set to air at 7:30 p.m. ET."
"Trump has sent ICE and Border Patrol agents to cities like Chicago and New York City to deport illegal immigrants. But that push has been met by resistance from Democratic leaders, including Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, with Pritzker comparing Trump's ICE raids to Nazi Germany recently. The Trump Administration's immigration crackdown has also run into legal challenges."
President Trump supports more aggressive ICE deportations and asserts that liberal judges are thwarting ICE's mission. The president defended ICE tactics and said removal operations must continue because many targeted individuals are violent criminals or were expelled from other countries for criminal behavior. Videos have circulated showing ICE tackling a young mother, use of tear gas in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and smashed car windows. The administration has deployed agents to cities such as Chicago and New York City. Democratic leaders including Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson have resisted the raids, and the crackdown faces ongoing legal challenges.
