The president’s campaign to arrest and deport thousands of immigrants has turned cities run by his political enemies into conflict zones, Alex Woodward reports

Nearly one year after returning to the White House with a promise to carry out the “largest deportation operation” in American history, masked immigration officers ripped a woman from her car as she tried to get to a doctor’s appointment in Minneapolis. On the other side of the country, a 21-year-old protester in Santa Ana, California, was recovering from eye surgery after an officer fired a riot-control weapon inches from his face.
They both came just days after an officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good.
The Trump administration’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” in his nationwide campaign to rapidly deport tens of thousands of people has turned American cities into conflict zones patrolled by hundreds of masked and heavily armed officers.
Democratic officials warned for months that a surge of militarized Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection officers would only stir up more unrest. They warned that the scenes of mass protests were by design, giving the president an opening to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy active-duty troops on Americans in cities run by his political enemies.
Since returning to the White House, Trump has reshaped the government to pursue an anti-immigration agenda across nearly every federal agency, with a mission to find, arrest and deport thousands of people, deter new arrivals and impose new restrictions on legal immigration that have repulsed humanitarian aid groups and civil rights advocates.
The Trump administration has surged thousands of federal law enforcement officers for his mass deportation campaign, sparking protests across the country and violent scenes of arrests and use of force against demonstrators (REUTERS)Thousands of people, most of whom have never been convicted of a crime, are now locked up in immigration detention centers, entering a byzantine legal process that the administration has pushed to make it virtually impossible to escape.
Federal officers, whose identities are largely kept secret and whose faces are hidden by COVID-era masks, are routinely seen jumping out of cars and vans to round up immigrants and citizens alike, sometimes leaving their cars stranded in roadways or rolling down streets. They leave behind neighborhoods in shock and families in crisis, scrambling where to find members who often end up jailed hundreds of miles from home.
From Los Angeles and Portland, Oregon, to Chicago, New York City, New Orleans and Charlotte, North Carolina, footage and stories of violent arrests and volatile protests have emerged at a dizzying pace.
In Washington, D.C., last summer, Trump invoked a never-before-used authority to seize control of the city’s police department as deployed the National Guard and surged federal officers into the streets, claiming the city was overrun with “bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people.” Officials there accused the administration of a waging a politically motivated “hostile takeover.”
And in Minnesota, where thousands of federal officers descended in recent weeks, “news reports simply don’t do justice to the level of chaos and disruption and trauma the federal government is raining down upon our communities,” according to Governor Tim Walz.
“This long ago stopped being a campaign of organized immigration enforcement,” he said January 13. “Instead, it’s a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government.”
“People are being racially profiled, harassed, terrorized, and assaulted,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement announcing a lawsuit accusing the Trump administration of “spreading terror” in the state. “Schools have gone into lockdown. Businesses have been forced to close.”

Trump posts vulgar and racist AI video on government shutdown with Schumer saying: ‘Nobody likes Democrats anymore’
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, depicted wearing oversized sombrero and handlebar mustache, condemned video as ‘disgusting’
By Josh Marcus, in San Francisco, Tuesday 30 September 2025 07:35 EDT
Trump posts bizarre deepfake government shutdown video showing Schumer saying: ‘Nobody likes Democrats anymore‘
President Donald Trump on Monday posted a profane, apparently AI-modified video of Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, mocking the White House’s main negotiating partners as the government heads towards a looming shutdown.
In the video, the digitally altered Schumer says, “nobody likes Democrats anymore” because of “all of our woke trans bulls***,” before erroneously claiming Democrats support giving undocumented immigrants healthcare because the party needs “new voters.”
In Trump’s deepfake clip, a silent Jeffries stands alongside the senator wearing a sombrero and handlebar mustache.
The video appears to be a reference to the misleading GOP claim that Democrats are threatening to shut down the government unless an agreement can be reached to fund healthcare for undocumented people.
Illegal immigrants are not able to access most federally backed healthcare. Democrats are instead pushing to keep a set of expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies, which are not available to undocumented people, as well as other health funding that can go to “lawfully present” immigrants.
Trump posted digitally altered video of Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer on Truth Social on Monday night, after Democrats and Republicans failed to reach an agreement to stop a government shutdown (Donald Trump / Truth Social)Jeffries and his fellow Democrats condemned the White House video, with the House leader calling the clip a “malignant distraction from people who are determined to continue to rip healthcare away” in an interview with MSNBC on Monday night.
“It’s a disgusting video and we’re gonna continue to make clear bigotry will get you nowhere,” Jeffries said. “We are fighting to protect the healthcare of the American people in the face of an unprecedented Republican assault.”
On X, meanwhile, Jeffries posted a genuine photo of Trump and his former friend the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, with the caption, “This is real.”
Rep. Ro Khanna of California joined his Democratic colleague, telling CNN the video was “abnormal” and not befitting the seriousness of the political moment at hand.
Republicans argue that a shutdown would be Democrats’ fault, while Democrats hope to use their leverage in the Senate to negotiate health funding as part of a deal to keep government open (REUTERS)“You don’t mock someone and put a video out about how they look,” he said. “You don’t ever mock people’s ethnicity. How do you negotiate with that? And how have we made this normal?”
Khanna also pointed to the Trump administration’s repeated attempts not to spend already approved congressional money as another factor confounding normal negotiations around the shutdown.
Sen. Roger Marshall, Republican of Kansas, defended the president’s video, saying the comments in the clip were “said in jest” and meant to toy with the press “like a little boy” taunting a dog with a flashlight.
“I think it’s the president making fun of a couple of people who didn’t bring a serious offer to the White House,” Marshall told CNN.
The Independent has contacted the White House for comment.
Despite a meeting on Monday between Vice President JD Vance, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Jeffries and Schumer, the parties appear no closer to an agreement to avert the shutdown, which is slated to begin late Tuesday.
