Trump promises the “largest deportation operation” in US history if he returns to the White House. The former president again intensified his anti-immigrant rhetoric during a campaign rally in South Carolina.
Trump was a key player in blocking the bill, as he called on his fellow Republican lawmakers to oppose it. He also claimed Saturday that the bill would have allowed "millions and millions" of people to cross into the United States illegally. The failure of the bipartisan bill in the US Senate highlights the former president's tight control over the Republican Party.
