Republican candidate Donald Trump has reiterated in recent days at various campaign rallies his proposal to apply the death penalty to immigrants who murder American citizens or law enforcement agents if he is elected president again.
"I request the death penalty for any immigrant who kills a U.S. citizen or a law enforcement officer," Trump declared during a rally in Reno, Nevada, last Friday.
Hours earlier, at another event in Aurora, Colorado, the former president had already made the same comment.
In Aurora, Trump stated that he would "rescue" the city, which he described as "invaded and conquered" by undocumented immigrants.
"I will rescue Aurora and all the cities that have been invaded and conquered," he assured.
The former president has said repeatedly that U.S. cities have been taken over by foreign gangs.
In the case of Aurora, it was mentioned that the third largest city in Colorado has been invaded by Venezuelan gang members.
Additionally, he has blamed his rival candidate for allowing the entry of "an army of foreign criminals" who, according to him, are destroying cities like Aurora.
In recent months, the former president has intensified his rhetoric against immigration in his effort to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he blames for the immigration policies of the Biden administration, calling her the "border czar."
Trump has previously linked immigrants to violence in other states, and in a recent presidential debate, he said that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were harming pets. Local authorities denied having received credible reports about this.
