Trump vows to expand ICE operations to major cities amid LA riots

President Donald Trump on Tuesday confirmed that he would expand immigration enforcement operations to other major American cities amid ongoing riots in Los Angeles.

Images of violent rioters flying the Mexican flag in Los Angeles have gone viral in recent days as people clash with law enforcement over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.

"Yes... We're moving murderers out of our country that were put here by Biden or the autopen," Trump said, referencing ongoing allegations that President Joe Biden was not aware of many acts that he ostensibly signed using an autopen.

"These are criminals. The people are criminals that allowed this," amid the Los Angeles riots. "We're getting them out. We're starting to get acknowledgment from the courts. It's starting to work out now."

"We don't want them and they come from jails and they come from mental institutions... we're not gonna let them stay," he insisted. "This is perhaps the first of many... I can inform the rest of the country that when they do it, if they do it.. they're gonna be met with equal or greater force."
