Trump suggests carrying out widespread deportation operation could turn into a 'bloody story'

Former President and GOP nominee Donald Trump continues to hammer his anti-immigrant rhetoric as the campaign continues. His latest statement took place at a campaign rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, where he issued a stark warning regarding his plan to conduct the "largest deportation operation in American history" if re-elected:

"And you know getting them out will be a bloody story. "[Undocumented immigrants] should have never been allowed to come into our country. Nobody checked them."

Trump's comments, delivered to supporters on Saturday, reflect the broader 2024 platform of the Republican National Committee, which emphasizes aggressive immigration enforcement and mass deportations.

Although Trump did not clarify what he meant by "bloody story," his rhetoric has consistently portrayed undocumented immigrants as criminals, despite studies showing there is no evidence to support such claims. More recently he has focused on the claim that Venezuelan gangs had taken over an apartment complex in Aurora Colorado, information that was rejected by Aurora's police chief and the city's Republican mayor.

Trump also doubled down on the Colorado claims telling his supporters that illegal immigrants in the state are "so brazen they're taking over sections of the state."

Also this weekend, Trump used his social media site took to threaten criminal repercussions for anyone suspected of election misconduct in the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election, as The New York Times reports:

"I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election. It was a Disgrace to our Nation! Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again."
