Donald Trump portrays migrants as dangerous criminals during a rally in Aurora, Colorado on Oct. 11, 2024, calling for the death penalty for migrants who kill US citizens as he escalates the anti-immigration rhetoric that has fueled his presidential run. Flanked by posters of alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, Trump also said that if elected he would launch a national 'Operation Aurora' to target the gang members. Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, noticeably hardened his anti-immigration rhetoric in the final weeks of the November 5 election campaign, where he aims to defeat Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. Illegal immigration is a top voter concern, and Trump is seen by most voters as the person best able to address it, opinion polls show.
