In a measure that will be welcomed by conservatives, ICE is preparing to deploy Special Response Teams in five Democrat-led cities.

These deployments aim to target high-risk individuals amidst anticipated protests against Trump administration policies.
According to insiders, tactical units will be sent into New York City, Philadelphia, northern Virginia, Chicago, and Seattle.
These Special Response Teams (SRTs) are elite SWAT units, recently utilized in Los Angeles for controlling protests.
They aim to arrest high-risk individuals, despite the uproar planned by protestors on what they call “No Kings Day.”
“From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism — and show the world what democracy really looks like,” say organizers of the nationwide protests scheduled for June 14.
This day coincides with a military parade in Washington, D.C., celebrating the Army’s 250th anniversary and President Trump’s birthday.
Philadelphia anticipates being a major flashpoint, with organizers expecting thousands to protest Trump administration policies.
In contrast, President Trump has made it clear that any protests will be met with strong resistance, leveraging significant force if necessary.
A source involved in planning highlighted the determination to proceed with enforcement operations despite the riots, potentially leading to increased arrests.
California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized President Trump, describing his handling of ICE raids and the accompanying protests as a “brazen abuse of power.”
Newsom condemned the deployment of the National Guard to manage protests without consulting state law enforcement leaders.
He emphasized the dangers of militarizing streets and targeting individuals based on suspicion or skin color.
This reaction reflects a rising tide of frustration in Democrat states about federal immigration enforcement strategies.
The dissemination of ICE’s plans has already sparked protests in cities like New York City and San Francisco, leading to numerous arrests for criminal behavior during rallies against ICE raids.
It remains to be seen whether these measures will effectively deter protestors or further ignite discontent in these regions.
This can be seen as a battle of ideologies, with ICE moving to enforce the rule of law amidst a backdrop of growing opposition to perceived federal overreach.
The coming days will be crucial in determining how both sides navigate these turbulent waters.
