@jerrod.zisser: 07/21/25 2:09PM PST The Trump administration just confirmed that ICE will target non-citizens for deportation — even those here legally. Green card holders. Visa workers. Lawful asylum seekers. If you are not a U.S. citizen, your presence in this country may now be considered conditional. In a stunning briefing this week, ICE Director Patrick Lechleitner declared that undocumented immigrants will be deported “regardless of criminal status.” He went further: “We’re coming for them either way.” This marks a sharp shift in U.S. policy. For decades, immigration enforcement prioritized individuals with serious criminal convictions. Now, under Trump, ICE is empowered to go after anyone who is not a citizen — no matter their legal status or history. And they have the resources to do it. ICE’s annual budget is increasing from $8 billion to $28 billion. Officials say they are preparing to deport up to one million people in a single year. Immigration attorneys warn this expansion could sweep up lawful residents, refugees, and longtime community members. And it comes amid reports of workplace raids, church arrests, and ICE detaining children and green card holders. This isn’t just about the undocumented anymore. It’s about redefining who belongs in America. Follow me on Instagram and Substack for full updates and the full story.
