While delivering remarks to guests during in Iowa on Wednesday, former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump committed to “the largest domestic deportation operation” in U.S. history.
Trump said he was channeling former President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
“I will immediately terminate every open borders policy of the Biden administration and follow the Dwight D. Eisenhower model,” Trump said on the stump in Dubuque, Iowa, the second of a pair of campaign stops Wednesday. “So Eisenhower was very tough on the border. People don’t see him as that, but he was.
“We’ll carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history. I’ll also invoke immediately the Alien Enemies Act to remove all known or suspected gang members.”
