During a rally in Aurora, Colorado, former President Donald Trump called for the death penalty “for any migrant that kills an American citizen or a law enforcement officer.”
The comments came after he announced that he would institute a federal “Operation Aurora” to “expedite the removals of the savage gangs.”
“I will invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798,” he added.
According to the Brennan Center for Justice, the law hands the government detention and deportation power which poses “an alarming risk of abuse and rights violations in both wartime and peacetime.”
Trump said he would use the law “to target and dismantle every migrant criminal network operating on American soil.”
The rally took place after Trump disparaged the entire city of Detroit, Michigan, on Thursday, warning that the whole country could end up “a mess” like the Motor City if his Democratic rival Kamala Harris wins November’s election, a pitch unlikely to endear him to local voters that has already inspired a major backlash.
Former president Barack Obama meanwhile delivered an impassioned speech denouncing the Republican’s character and mocking his “constant attempts to sell you stuff”, from gold sneakers to branded Bibles, during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, championing Harris’s bid for the presidency.
Bill Clinton to campaign for Harris in Georgia and North Carolina
Former President Bill Clinton will campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris in battleground states, with swings through Georgia and North Carolina, according to CNN.
Clinton is set to attempt to increase Harris’s support among rural voters, a subset of voters that the vice president has been struggling to attract.
President Joe Biden became the first Democratic nominee in 2020 to win Georgia since Clinton managed to eke out a win in 1992.
Clinton will focus on counties previously won by former President Donald Trump and is set to appear at local fairs and porch rallies with at most a few hundred attendees at a time.

Trump says ‘enemy within’ is bigger threat than China and Russia
Trump argued that the “enemy within” is a bigger threat to the US than either China or Russia.
“It’s the enemy from within, all the scum that we have to deal with that hate our country. That’s a bigger enemy than China and Russia,” he said.
“Every day Americans … are living in fear, all because Kamala Harris decided to empty the slums and prison cells of Caracas and many other places,” Trump said.
He added: “Prison populations all over the world are down. Crime all over the world is down because they take the world’s criminals, gang members, drug dealers, and they deposit them into the United States, bus after bus after bus.”
