Immigration
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has promised mass deportations for illegal immigrants and immunity for local police who enforce immigration laws.
Trump clarified his platform during an interview with Newsmax host Chris Salcedo on Monday.
“Since no foreign national has a right to be here in the United States, will you order mass deportations if you win the White House?” Salcedo asked.
The former president did not hesitate.
“Oh, the first day,” he replied. “We have no choice. And we’ll start with the bad ones.
Trump added: “And you know who knows who I am? Local police. It is necessary to restore the local police to their authority, respect and immunity. We will give them immunity.”
Q: “If you win the White House, will you order mass deportations?”

Trump calls for mass deportations
This is not the first time former President Donald Trump has indicated that he would carry out mass deportations if he won.
Recent polls suggest that illegal immigration has overtaken a fragile economy to become the number one concern among Americans. And they don’t like the way President Biden is handling the situation.
Trump says his approach will be very different.
“[Illegal aliens] they come from prisons and mental institutions,” he said during a speech at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
“It will be the largest deportation in the history of our country,” he promised. “They are killing our people. They are killing our country. We have no choice!”

Trump says he will invoke wartime powers
Said conducting mass deportations on the campaign trail and then actually carrying them out are two different things: fortunately, Trump has a plan for that.
If elected, he pledged to invoke the Alien Enemies Act, a wartime law that would allow the president to authorize the arrest and deportation of illegal immigrants over the age of 14.
During a campaign stop in Iowa last September, the leading Republican contender for the White House promised to “carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.”
“I will also immediately invoke the Alien Enemies Act to remove all known or suspected gang members,” Trump said.
Millions of illegal immigrants have been released directly into U.S. communities with little or no background checks during President Biden’s term, a consequence of his unilateral “parole” program.
A record of over 9 million illegal immigrants, of which over 1.8 million are known”escapes,” have crossed the border under this administration.
Crime and punishment
In recent weeks, several stories have emerged involving illegal immigrants committing violent crimes against American citizens.
The Political Insider reported that ICE agents in Boston arrested a 34-year-old Guatemalan illegal immigrant recently convicted of assault and battery on a child under the age of 14. He had previously been released from Gloucester District Court, despite ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations) Boston pressing charges against him.
Additionally, Maryland authorities just arrested an illegal migrant from El Salvador and charged him with murder in the case of a two-year-old boy who was shot and killed this month while walking in the park with his mother.
Not to mention the case of University of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, who was allegedly killed by suspect Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal alien.
