Summary

Democratic-led cities and states are mobilizing to resist Trump’s planned mass deportations, with measures like sanctuary policies, legal challenges, and public opposition.

Cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia have vowed to shield undocumented residents, and LA’s school district declared itself a migrant sanctuary.

Trump plans to sign executive orders and withhold federal grants to enforce deportations, but legal obstacles are expected, as seen during his first term.

Opponents argue deportations harm communities and families, while Trump allies assert a mandate for strict immigration enforcement.

    I’d like to see them fuckin try. The Republicans keep calling these liberal cities warzones, I know Chicago and New York would be happy to bare their teeth and show just how accurate that moniker can sometimes be.

      Yeah. Those fucking hicks love to rant about how dangerous, crime ridden, and unlivable major cities are. Shows they’ve never actually been there.

        I’ve lived and worked in more than one, and not even in the worst areas, you could not pay me any amount of money to go back.
