Sunday, October 13, 2024 -Donald Trump has taken his anti-Immigration rhetoric a notch higher by portraying migrants as dangerous criminals during a rally in Aurora, Colorado, USA calling for the d£ath penalty for migrants who kill U.S. citizens.
Standing beside posters of alleged
members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, Trump said that if elected
he would launch a national "Operation Aurora" to target the gang
members.
Trump, the US Republican presidential
candidate, has noticeably hardened his anti-immigration rhetoric in the final
weeks ahead of the November 5 election campaign, where he aims to defeat
Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
"I'm
hereby calling for the death penalty for any migrant that kills an American
citizen or a law enforcement officer," Trump said as his supporters
cheered.
Trump has
already proposed an expansion of the d€ath penalty for other offenders,
including people convicted of s£x trafficking women and children.
While
there is a federal death penalty, it is rarely used, according to the Death
Penalty Information Center, a non-profit group. An expansion of eligible crimes
would require an act of the U.S. Congress.
