Former President Donald Trump has called for the death penalty for migrants who kill U.S. citizens or law enforcement officers during a campaign rally in Reno, Nevada and Aurora, Colorado. He has also previously advocated for the death penalty for human and drug traffickers. Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric has intensified as he seeks to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris, which includes portraying noncitizens as a threat to Americans’ safety. During his rally in Aurora, Trump claimed that the city had been “invaded and conquered” by illegal migrants and vowed to “rescue” it. However, Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, a Republican, disputed these claims, stating they were not accurate. Trump has also made baseless claims linking immigrants to violence in other states, including falsely alleging that Haitian immigrants were eating local pets in Ohio. The former president’s comments have sparked controversy and raised concerns about the impact of his rhetoric on public opinion and policy debates surrounding immigration and crime.
