In a campaign speech in Aurora, Colorado, Donald Trump depicted the United States as being 'occupied' by foreign criminals, aiming to sway voters in the upcoming November election against his rival, Kamala Harris.
Trump asserted that November 5, 2024, would be 'Liberation Day,' escalating fears of a migrant invasion with exaggerated claims and proposals such as 'Operation Aurora' to deport foreign nationals.
Aurora, a Denver suburb, was misrepresented by right-wing media after a video showed chaos, which Trump used to allege unchecked gang violence by Latinos, despite local police and officials refuting such claims.
Contrary to Trump's narrative, data indicates falling violent crime rates during Biden's presidency and that migrants commit fewer crimes proportionally compared to citizens.
Harris, campaigning in Scottsdale, Arizona, countered Trump’s divisive remarks by emphasizing unity and proposing bipartisan cooperation.
