What warning did Trump give to state officials regarding ICE?
President Trump is putting state officials on notice, warning them not to interfere with his deportation operation.
How is ICE prioritizing deportation under Trump?
ICE is doing their job, and they're prioritizing just as the president said they would, and they're going to continue every day.
What is the status of sanctuary cities under Trump's administration?
Will sanctuary cities cooperate, and how has the public's opinion shifted?
I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's Thursday, January 23rd, and this is Morning Wire. As President Trump revs up his administration, Democrats are slamming the brakes on his cabinet confirmations.
We tried to cooperate with the Democrats. The cooperation has not been forthcoming. So I guess it's going to be the hard way.
What actions is Trump taking against DEI agencies?
And the federal employee purge has begun with DEI agencies and staffers first on the chopping block.

Trump administration wasted no time this week in implementing the president's immigration agenda. Just days after Trump took office, hundreds of illegal aliens have been arrested and U.S. troops have been dispatched to the southern border.
Here to talk about the furious pace set by Trump on immigration is Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce. So, Tim, we've seen a constant stream of news on immigration since Trump took office on Monday. What's the latest?
One of the big items that dropped yesterday was that immigration officials have already detained more than 300 illegal aliens for deportation. Here's Borders are Tom Homan talking about that on Fox News.
Right now, as we said repeatedly in the President Trump's been clear, we're concentrating on the worst first, the public safety threats, the national security threats. And just yesterday, in the last 24 hours, ICE arrested over 308, 308 serious criminals. Some of them were murderers. Some of them were rapists. Some of them raped a child. Some were a sexual assault of a child.
So even before his cabinet is in place, Trump's immigration agenda is well underway. And it's had an impact, too, not only on those arrested and deported, but we've seen cases of self-deports by aliens who have left the country voluntarily rather than waiting for ICE. We see the impact as well in places such as Chicago's Little Village, commonly referred to as the, quote, Mexico of the Midwest. It's known as a bustling shopping district, but recently foot traffic in Little Village has plummeted by half. Wow.
So it sounds like an aggressive start to Trump's second term. What about the self-designated sanctuary jurisdictions? How are they responding?
Yeah, there were quite a few defiant statements made during the transition by local leaders of these jurisdictions, and many will presumably stand by them, but some have softened. For instance, the Denver mayor just a few weeks ago was threatening to deploy police to stop federal immigration agents from entering the city.
How are locals reacting to Trump's immigration policies?
He's now saying the city will work with immigration officials at least to deport violent criminals. This comes as the Department of Justice has directed federal prosecutors to look into local officials who try to get in ICE's way. But perhaps as persuasive as the DOJ, recent polls say that Americans back Trump's deportation agenda. Listen to this clip of CNN poll analyst Harry Enten explain.
There's real uniformity here. That's what I really think you see. You see real uniformity. Deported all immigrants who are here illegally, 55% of the New York Times. Marquette, 64%. CBS News, 57%. ABC News with a slightly different question, 56%. So what you're seeing essentially here is a very clear indication that a majority of Americans...
