Former President Donald Trump promised a massive deportation operation if he becomes president again, as he visited one of the cities whose migrant communities he has used as fodder on the campaign trail on Friday.
Trump stoked fear about a nation “occupied” by migrants in his remarks, using anti-immigrant rhetoric to convince voters that casting their ballot for him is a vote against the rising number of Venezuelans moving to Aurora, Colorado, and other cities like it.
“I make this pledge and vow to you. November 5, 2024, will be liberation day in America,” Trump said during the rally. “I will rescue Aurora and every town that has been invaded and conquered.”
