Details: Trump promised to swiftly fulfill the main promise of his presidential campaign at a rally on Sunday, just a day before his return to the presidency.
Direct quote: "By tomorrow's sunset, the invasion of our country will be halted."
"This is the greatest political movement in the history of America, and 75 days ago we achieved an epic political victory that our people have ever seen. Tomorrow, I will act with historic speed and strength to address every crisis facing our nation."
Details: The Trump administration plans to initiate raids against illegal immigrants within days of his inauguration.
According to the source, border security will take a prominent place in Trump's initial executive orders, including classifying drug cartels as "foreign terrorist organizations," declaring a state of emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, and reinstating the "Remain in Mexico" policy, which requires asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for their U.S. court hearings.
What preceded this: In December, Trump promised to begin the "largest deportation operation in American history" following his inauguration on January 20, 2025.
Reminder: Donald Trump's chosen Republican vice-presidential candidate, J.D. Vance, admitted that the story about Haitian migrants allegedly eating pet cats in a city in Ohio, which was actively circulated by Republicans, is fictional.
This claim emerged days before the debates, was among the first to be spread by J.D. Vance himself, and spawned a wave of AI-generated images of Trump "protecting" cats and geese. These allegations were officially denied by the authorities and the Springfield police.
Later, Trump refused to disprove the falsehood that migrants eat pets.
