He did promise to do this, for sure. It's one of the reasons he was voted into office. I think taking this personally is a mistake, it's really not about blue cities or red states. Having said that, I don't expect fairness, or equality under the law, from this administration. Right now we feel very far from the pledge "... with liberty and justice for all".

> it's really not about blue cities or red state How can you think that, given that only loyalty matters for trump?

> it's really not about blue cities or red states Once he starts the raids in the red states, maybe that will be true. Right now he’s just attacking the blue states.

  Deporting violent criminals now constitutes "attacking the blue states?" Most of the specific apprehensions are in so-called "sanctuary cities" the preponderance of which are located in blue states. That these violent illegal immigrants live in sanctuary cities is not a mystery, that these cities are in blue states is not a mystery. That you believe this is anything other than protecting lawful citizens and the government doing the job it's supposed to is baffling. Or were you referring to some other action?

    How did you make the leap to violent criminals? Regardless of our particular opinions on immigration laws and enforcement, conflating illegal immigrants in general with violent criminals doesn’t help.

      “violent criminals” is fake news he’s selling to the masses. it is how you win elections, scare a bunch of midwesterners who haven’t seen an immigrant violent criminal in their lives that this is core issue plauging america while using 4 years to pilage whatever they can :) not that we haven’t seen this already…
