Trump spreads violent rhetoric by suggesting migrants should fight for sport - The Washington Post

In his speech, the former president continued to claim that undocumented immigrants are violent criminals coming from "prisons and mental institutions." He also recounted the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley in February, who police believe was killed by Jose Ibarra — a man who immigration authorities say crossed the U.S. border illegally in 2022. Ibarra has been in custody since the day after Riley's body was discovered and pleaded not guilty in May. 

Trump reiterated his promise to "begin the largest deportation operation in American history," should he return to the White House. He also warned that undocumented immigrants are "just getting comfortable," but that "they're going to start hitting us very hard."… 

"Fitting that convicted felon Donald Trump spent his time at a religious conference threatening to round up Latinos, bragging about ripping away Americans' freedoms, and promising to be even more extreme if he regains power," Sarafina Chitika, a Biden campaign spokesperson, said in a statement.
