NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Donald Trump accused his Democratic rival Kamala Harris of importing migrants from mental institutions and prisons into the US during his speech at the massive Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday, October 27.

 The GOP nominee's New York City rally, held just a week ahead of Election Day, saw several celebrity MAGA supporters take the stage, including Elon Musk, Hulk Hogan, and Dr Phil. 



 

Anti-immigration was a common theme highlighted by all speakers, with Dr Phil even claiming that "this country was built on hard work, added value and talent. Not on equal outcome, not on DEI."

Donald Trump repeats false claims of Venezuelan gang taking over apartment complex in Aurora

Addressing the crowd at the New York City arena, which seats approximately 19,500 people, Donald Trump said, "For the last. four years Kamala Harris has orchestrated the most egregious betrayal that any leader in American history has ever inflicted upon our people."

He claimed, "She has violated her oath, eradicated our sovereign border, and unleashed an army of migrant gangs who are waging a campaign of violence and terror on our citizens."

"Kamala has imported criminal migrants from prisons and jails, insane asylums, and mental institutions from all around the world. From Venezuela to the Congo, a lot of people are coming from the Congo prisons," continued the former president.

Trump repeated his claim of Venezuelan gang members taking over an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado, which according to The Mirror has been previously debunked.

"One of the deadliest and most vicious migrant gangs that Kamala has imported into our country is the savage Venezuelan prison gang," remarked Trump, adding, "And that is taking over apartment complexes and unleashing a violent killing spree all over America, especially in Aurora, Colorado, where we have a governor who is petrified of them, and maybe he should be."

Donald Trump once again calls November 5 'Liberation Day'

After playing a video of news outlets reporting on "migrant crime" for the audience, Donald Trump announced, "The United States is now an occupied country, but it will soon be an occupied country no longer. November 5, 2024, nine days from now, will be Liberation Day in America."

He once again vowed, "On Day One, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history."



 

The GOP nominee went on to suggest invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to expedite his plans for mass deportation. The act reportedly grants the president the authority to arrest, relocate, and deport any male over the age of 14 who hails from a foreign enemy country.

"I will invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, think of that, that's how far back. That's when they had law and order. We don't have the same country anymore. The worst nightmare that we're facing is what they've done to us on our borders," stated Trump.
