Donald Trump Calls for Death Penalty for Migrants in Incendiary Rally

At a rally in Aurora, Colorado, former President and Republican candidate Donald Trump called for extreme measures against migrants, including the death penalty for those who kill US citizens or law enforcement officials. Trump used incendiary rhetoric, falsely claiming an “invasion” of migrants and promising mass deportations if re-elected.

Despite misinformation about gang activity in Aurora, local officials have debunked these false claims. Studies show that undocumented migrants commit fewer crimes than US-born citizens, and crime rates have actually decreased in Aurora. Trump continued to promote fear-mongering about migrants, invoking racist stereotypes and promising harsher immigration policies.
