Trump vows to carry out the largest deportation of migrants when he returns to office

Former US President Donald Trump, who was fined $9,000 for contempt of court, did not rule out building detention camps on US soil for illegally entering migrants if he wins the presidential election, he told Time Magazine in an interview which was published on Tuesday. he would use the National Guard as part of a plan to deport millions of migrants from across the United States.

Trump vowed to carry out the “largest deportation” of migrants in the country’s history when he returns to the White House after the Nov. 5 election, because “they are going to destroy the country.”

“It is not sustainable to allow millions and millions of people, many of them very bad people, to come across the southern border. They are going to destroy the country. We are going to carry out the largest deportation in history. We have no choice,” he said yesterday during a campaign rally in Waukesha, in the important state of Wisconsin, where he

Trump again accused his rival, Democratic President Joe Biden, of pursuing an open-borders policy over the past four years that has resulted in an “invasion” of migrants.

The Republican made the comments a day after an interview with Time Magazine was published in which he said he plans to use the military to pursue and detain undocumented immigrants if he wins the election.

He also did not rule out the possibility of building new detention camps for migrants, although he did not make it a priority as his plan is to deport migrants quickly.

In the interview, he also said he will use the National Guard as part of a plan to deport millions of migrants from across the US, signaling he is stepping up his anti-immigration rhetoric, something that fueled his previous rise to power.

“If I think things are getting out of hand, I would have no problem deploying the military,” he said. ‘We must have security in our country. We must have law and order in our country. And whatever gets us there, but I think the National Guard will do the job.”

U.S. military forces – both National Guard and active duty soldiers – have historically been deployed at the border to support immigration personnel. However, deploying elements of the National Guard, or active duty soldiers, to directly assist in the deportation of immigrants, especially domestically, would represent a drastic escalation of their use in the immigration arena and would likely be subject to legal issues. .

Yesterday, Trump campaigned in Wisconsin and Michigan, where he is almost tied with Biden in the polls.

On another issue, yesterday Florida put into effect a ban on most abortions after the first six weeks of pregnancy, a time when many women don’t even know they’re expecting it.

The new ban applies with the exception of being used to save a woman’s life, as well as in cases of rape and incest, but Dr. Leah Roberts, a reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist at Boca Fertility in Boca Raton, said health care workers are not doing their jobs may end. a non-viable pregnancy that they know could be fatal, such as when the fetus is missing organs or implanted outside the uterus, until it actually becomes fatal.

In Arizona, Congress yesterday approved the repeal of a long-standing ban on nearly all abortions and sent the bill to Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, who is expected to sign it into law.
