Activists in various cities in the United States are mobilizing to counter the negative effect and possible panic that President Donald Trump has caused with his words broadcast on Twitter threatening mass deportations for "millions of illegals" starting next week.

Without providing details or context about the reason for his statement, on Monday the 73-year-old president published a tweet saying: “Next week ICE (Customs and Immigration Service) will begin the process of removing the Millions of illegal aliens who have illegally found their way into the interior of the United States. They are going to get them out as fast as they arrived. Mexico, using strong immigration laws, is doing a very good job of arresting people."

“ICE approaches immigrants on the streets, at work, in their car, in court. Remember: #WeHaveRights. Prepare for the meetings with ICE”, the National Immigration Law Center published on its official Twitter account alerting the population about what could be approached and providing help in 7 languages. Other organizations at the regional and local levels have followed similar steps.

This statement is considered by many to be a ploy that coincides just with the official start of the president's re-election campaign that starts Tuesday night in Orlando, Florida.

The issue of immigration and the construction of a wall on the border between Mexico and the United States were central themes of Trump in his election campaign and have been a fundamental part of his rhetoric during his years as president.

A senior unidentified official told CNN on Tuesday that more than "a million" undocumented immigrants "have received final deportation orders from federal judges, but are still free in the country." Said person assured the chain that the exit of said individuals from North American soil is the "highest priority" of ICE at this time.
