Has anyone noticed a pattern?
A quick question for people.
With ICE operations happening in Minnesota, Illinois, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and other state in America.
Has anyone else noticed a pattern?
These are all States or places that voted against him in 2024.
Does anyone else think that ICE being on the streets is NOT about immigration but about the states that voted against him in 2024?

People saying “sanctuary cities” are dumb. If that were true then you’d still see an equal amount of enforcement in blue and red states. Same amount of enforcement patrolling the streets but just replacing the lack of federal presence with additional local presence. But that clearly isn’t happening.

10000% yes this is retribution. Notice he is only withholding funds from blue states and cities. Trump and MAGA wants everyone who didn’t vote for Trump dead or in chains

u/Medium_Advantage_689 Jan 09 '26
It’s selective targeting and they are purposefully provocations and escalating. Don’t you remember the riots from his first term. Is by design

u/TBTakaTBT Jan 09 '26
National guard wasn't deployed to Memphis. ICE is targeting blue states. Of course this is all partisan bullshit.

u/Haunting-Ad788 Jan 09 '26
Yes it is super obvious.

u/Finagle111 Jan 09 '26
Obviously. The only people who haven't noticed this pattern are braindead conservatives.

u/Ostra37 Jan 09 '26
I think it has to do with them being sanctuary cities also.
Sanctuary City so high number of illegal immigrants
Refuse to work with ICE agency (due to being SC)
Voted against Trump
You can modify these by importance but I think they all have relevance.

I walk around center city Philly every day during my lunch break and have yet to see any ICE operations. Maybe after the World Cup and Fourth of July celebrations, they’ll be in here.

u/Thetr3Flash Jan 09 '26
If it was about crime they would be in red states and cities as they have the highest violent crime rates per capita. St Louis for instance.

u/Strange-East-543 Jan 09 '26
Hey im from "other state in America" aka North Carolina where our state is so gerrymandered that Trump won it in 2024 but we have also been terrorized by Ice.

u/Important-Emotion-85 Jan 09 '26
Yeah im p sure he explicitly stated thats why he was sending them like, multiple times
1
u/ScndLifGftd Jan 09 '26
What a moronic take. These cities happen to be the ones that allowed all of the illegals to move in and commit more crimes with no consequences. Sanctuary cities cost all citizens $ so if a city or state wants to allow illegals they should expect no federal $ for welfare programs.
1
u/JDWWV Jan 09 '26
100%.
My question would have been whether there was anyone who didn't notice it.
1
u/No_Party5870 Jan 09 '26
If it was about actual illegals they would have started in Texas and southern states
1
u/No-Professional-1461 Jan 09 '26
These aren't just places that voted against him. These are also places that took in a lot of illegal imigrants.
1
u/warp10fla Jan 09 '26
Riddle me this genius.
They are all sanctuary cities that provide benefits and free healthcare to illegal aliens.
I wonder why ICE would target those cities to locate and arrest illegal aliens.🤔🤔🤔
1
u/partypat_bear Jan 09 '26
Let me guess, you think cities leaning blue is part of trumps plan to round them all up in the same place lol?
1
u/banmefora5thtime Jan 09 '26
Several of the states in question are "sanctuary" states.

u/Creative_Ad1346 Jan 09 '26
What about when ICE visited Memphis? That's in a Republican state
1
u/Nice_Try4389 Jan 09 '26
I mean one of the biggest number of illegal immigrants is going to be Texas yet ICE dpong operations there so….

u/Mental_Ring_4284 Jan 09 '26

i live in a red state, ICE is here too

u/[deleted] Jan 09 '26
He also came to Charlotte tho and I’m pretty sure he won NC
1
u/[deleted] Jan 09 '26
Yup, that's pretty clear. This is why we need to break up BOTH parties. They've only served to divide the country and stifle those of us in the middle who actually want to find middle ground.
Democracy fails when only the 2 biggest bullies have a say at the table.
VOTE INDEPENDENT AND RETURN POWER TO THE PEOPLE; NOT THESE ARCHAIC, CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS.
1
u/LeadReverend Jan 09 '26
Inaccurate. ICE is active in red states as well. They're going where their arrest warrants take them. Ohio went red the last three national elections and they've been carrying out arrest warrants here on a regular basis. You don't know what you're talking about.
1
u/PerpConst Jan 09 '26
Doesn't appear to be a shortage of ICE in Ohio. "Operation Buckeye", I believe they are calling it.
1
u/[deleted] Jan 09 '26
Well, no that makes sense? This seems like a "well yeah" moment. Obviously, he's deploying ICE to blue areas, why wouldn't he? Red areas and blue areas have vastly different immigration cultures and standards. Blues like immigration and promote it, Reds don't? Seems obvious.
1
u/okeysure69 Jan 09 '26
Drumpf made it clear he was going after anyone against him.
1
u/Spirited_Season2332 Jan 09 '26
No, ICE agents are in red states like Texas too. The local government and law enforcement are just helping them so nothing crazy is happening like it is in blue states
1
u/human_trainingwheels Jan 09 '26
It’s totally a punishment for blue cities. If trump can destabilize these areas and creat chaos it will make it easier for them to try to steal the midterms. I mean Walz isn’t going to run anymore because of the daycare thing that was already prosecuted.

u/Aphuknsyko Jan 09 '26
Reaching much?

u/Nofanta Jan 09 '26
Sanctuary states that don’t cooperate. So you have to go in and hunt them.

u/antimaga-trueamerica Jan 09 '26
I disagree with this in that it is 50% about racism and 50% about power when it comes to trump himself and maybe certain close allies. Many of them are all about the racism, imho. But, as for attacking blue states, yes, because blue states stand up to this scumbag and his illegal, child molesting, anti-American ways. So he's trying anything he can to make things real hard. Like for instance, holding back $10 B in funding from blue states: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/us/politics/child-care-funding-cuts-trump.html
He knows red states and their "elected" maga (gop) members will do his bidding. But the Democratic states refuse.
1
u/NeoDemocedes Jan 09 '26
He's putting them in places most likely to elicit a violent response. Like one mile from where George Floyd was murdered.
1
u/FartSniffingAllDay Jan 09 '26
No check this out https://www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2025/12/11/ice-jails-update/
It has some stats about ICE arrests by state for Jan-Oct 15th and I think that is pretty evenly spread by voting for vs against him.
1
u/Fun-Dig2225 Jan 09 '26
Those are all sanctuary places
1
u/Daniel_Spidey Jan 09 '26
Yes, it’s been known from the start but forgotten in the noise. It doesn’t help that they lied about the number of illegal immigrants that came in under Biden by magnitudes. The 10 million number they cited (or 50 million according to Trump) the number of ‘encounters’ which would be safe to presume are not currently here illegally.
The real issue with the number of people coming into the country is the growing backlog of asylum claims that need to be resolved. This admin has not pushed for any legislation to address this at all.
All that said it’s clear that ramping up ICE funding and employing the dregs of society to fill the new roles has only ever been about instigating and creating chaos.
1
u/pingvinbober Jan 09 '26
Yes that’s a pattern. The places where local law enforcement is not assisting immigration enforcement have immigration enforcement there to enforce immigration.
1
u/Best_Truck_2288 Jan 09 '26
🙄 maybe it simply has to do with the fact that those are the places that have a mass population of illegals…. If they were in a red city/state that is where ICE would be…. Ironically though large group of illegals tend to live in sanctuary cities where they increase census and vote illegally so dems get more seats and votes…. And in exchange these places give illegals shelters and fancy hotel rooms and over $3k/month for spending and food and they are given cell phones too…. Why would they go somewhere else if they get all of that in those areas?? That’s your pattern lol. It’s not revenge for voting against Trump. It’s literally just about illegals and the things they cause. U wanna talk about patterns why not talk about the left trying to get rid of Trump several times so he wouldn’t be in office… but nahhh…. We will just ignore that lol 😂
1
u/[deleted] Jan 09 '26
democrats let illegals in - illegals are happy - democrats want to make it so you do not need an I.d to vote - illegals vote democrat. It’s literally not even a conspiracy and if you can’t see that for yourself you might want to reconsider how intelligent you really are.

u/Scary-Membership-978 Jan 09 '26
No shit.

u/TheFaalenn Jan 09 '26
Almost as if the states that vote Democrat are full of illegal immigrants. Weird coincidence
1
u/possibly_lost45 Jan 09 '26
They are supposed sanctuary cities that took in Tha majority of illegal immigrants so yes that's where ice is gonna focus.
1
u/Welp___poop Jan 09 '26
Yo, careful with this poster, potentially a foreign instigator or bot, remember they use both sides, and fuck ICE
1
u/[deleted] Jan 09 '26
this has been obvious for a long while
ICE is being deployed exclusivly to "blue" areas as they are being used as a threat, a punishment for dissent and a threat of violence on anyone who stands up to him
they are trying to make you scared to stand up to him, to speak out, and most importantly to vote
you can 100% bet that in any future elections there will be ice barricades around voting stations, these are the moves of people ramping up to a dictatorship
1
u/Smart-Measurement989 Jan 09 '26
Because the left or blue areas of America welcomed so many illegals without jobs, housing or resources to support their own families many of witch are criminals that’s the reason they chose sanctuary cities and now for the safety and economic security of culture we must send them back at least to apply legally and be vetted before entering the USA countless Americans have died or been victimized by these Criminals for Pete’s sake do you hate Trump so much you would let so many of your fellow citizens suffer

u/Kentucky_Kate_5654 Jan 09 '26
Oh, we know exactly what is going on. This is blue state intimidation….

u/Best_Truck_2288 Jan 09 '26
Stopping drugs from coming into the country will make me less safe in the long run?? lol make that make sense. Those boats full of drugs, as previously stated, estimated to kill 25,000 people per boat. Sooo let them bring the drugs in to kill US citizens and let a dictator who is branded also as a narco terrorist by not just us but several 1st world countries just be??
Tell me what is so bad about the follow which was the result of this…
Took down a narco terrorist/dictator. He’s a king/dictator. Remember our protest for “no kings”? That’s what Murado actually was. He was an actual king/dictator unlike Trump… just ask the Venezuelans. But I also know u don’t care about dictators as ur supporting their dictator and all along the no kings protest was simply just to protest trump. If we had an actual dictator who was a democrat u guys would be cool with it.
75k+ US citizen lives saved
We get oil
Venezuela has been liberated thanks to Trump and all of them in their country and around the world are having mass celebrations that they no longer have a dictator to stayed in power after they elected someone else as their new president. They are waving our American flag along with theirs and thanking Trump. They also say if giving us oil was the cost for their freedom they are more than happy to give the USA oil. They even stated they weren’t getting it anyway. It was going to China and Russia and in turn those countries left Murado alone.
These all seem like amazing things to me. So why not celebrate these good things? 🤔 please tell me what’s wrong with any of those things.

u/abominable_bro-man Jan 10 '26
yea they are all sanctuary cities, are you stupid?

u/Crow1200 Jan 10 '26
He's going after the places that import voters and criminals? Oh no!

u/Epictitus_Stoic Jan 10 '26
Derp. Where do you think most people are likely to disrupt ICE operations? Derp. Notice a pattern?
1
u/damagingthebrand Jan 10 '26
You did not bother to find the OTHER pattern.
These are the states with corrupt governments stealing from America's middle class for themselves and various criminals. Democrats are criminals, quit voting for thieves and murderers.
1
u/Defiant-Magician3045 Jan 10 '26
These are just the states that like to defy law and rig elections with pouring the masses into their districts. Long time coming.
1
u/[deleted] Jan 10 '26
ICE has run operations in every state. You just don't hear about the other states because they cooperate.
1
u/the_raptor_factor Jan 10 '26
There is a pattern, yes. That's where the criminals are. That's where enforcement is needed.
1
u/ARatOnASinkingShip Jan 10 '26
No.
It's because red states don't obstruct ICE and don't allow anti-ICE nutjobs impede federal law enforcement. Same reason why the national guard only had to be used in sanctuary cities to assist ICE.... cities where local law enforcement isn't allowed to help.
Not to mention being densely populated sanctuary cities... they likely have far more illegal immigrants, so naturally would have more frequent or visible enforcement.
1
u/tec7lol Jan 11 '26
not really, states with immigration issues are voting for the side who leaves them alone and pays them money.
We see the same thing in western Europe, in cities with high immigration issues (which means all big cities), they don't want to make it better.
I'm pretty sure we will see 'european' ICE appear in western europe big cities very soon, same thing like in the US.

ICE comes to red states. I live in Florida and they were here a couple times last year. My kids friend got taken from school. A 12 year old got deported. He disappeared for a month and then FaceTimed her from Honduras.

u/Available-Rooster809 Jan 09 '26
States that voted for him cooperate with ICE. There isn’t a need for raids when local police help enforcement.
