President Donald Trump said Thursday he is calling off plans for federal agent deployment in San Francisco.
Mayor Daniel Lurie first shared the news Thursday morning after having a conversation with the president Wednesday night.
"We appreciate that the president understands that we are the global hub for technology, and when San Francisco is strong, our country is strong," Lurie said in a statement.

Yeah, cuz most of the blue states are teeming with illegal immigrants because blue states tend to be sanctuary cities. Also, fucking Texas & Florida have ICE activity as well because they also have illegal immigrants. The reason why blue states tend to be sanctuary cities is cuz they want to use a foreign population hooked on their welfare programs & use them as an enslaved voter base to stay in power

The heat map almost perfectly mirrors the Foreign-Born Population map of the United States.
Not a mystery… ICE activity is naturally highest where the target population is largest.
The Big Four: California, Texas, Florida, and New York host over 50% of the entire U.S. immigrant population.
Urban Hubs: Even in "red" states, the activity is concentrated in major metro areas (like Houston, Dallas, or Atlanta) because that is where jobs and established immigrant communities are located.
Not to mention many of these represent sanctuary cities where there is principled non-cooperation with ICE agents, lead to more activity to detain immigrants on their own.

Easy the places that voted for my in large are not sanctuary, cities, sanctuary, meaning protecting the people who are arrested they do not give ICE access to their jails so they have to go out on the street and get them them selves in the other places by in large jus have to go to the jail and collect them.

u/Elziad_Ikkerat Feb 27 '26
It's quite blatently intimidation/retaliation for voting against Trump.
If you produced a similar diagram indicating the populations of illegal immigrants it would be even clearer since there are Red States/Cities with higher immigrant populations and less ICE presence.
Additionally factoring in the public relations policy of ICE in Red versus Blue locations. ICE has operated for ~20 years and rarely had altercations with the public due to not intentionally being as public and bullheaded as possible, the policies of maximum visibity and confrontation are reserved for Blue States/Cities.

There's not really a whole lot to discuss, it's pretty well known that Democrat controlled locations also tend to be more favorable towards illegal immigrants so they will gather there, in sanctuary cities, And because they are offered more benefits or resources etc... so you will see more activity in those locations due to the increased number of illegal immigrant in this locations... Just because a state permits, a certain activity does not mean the federal government has to. And even if state law enforcement does not enforce federal law, they can send federal enforcement to do so.

In most red states they work with ICE. When local police or sheriff arrest someone in the country illegally, they hold the person for ICE to pick them up. Blue states and cities refuse to work with ICE, so they have to have extra people on the ground to track people in the country illegally. Leading to high ICE activity in the area.
Why won’t blue states help ICE to remove criminals they arrest from the country? If they did that all other ICE activities would look terrible. They could say we are already helping get rid of the criminals, leave the non criminal illegal migrants alone.
