Trump said during a “Fox Noticias” interview that he’s “looking into” deporting “homegrown criminals” to El Salvador, a move that legal experts panned as illegal.
“I call them homegrown criminals — the homegrowns,” Trump said in an excerpt of the interview. “The ones that grew up and something went wrong and they hit people over the head with a baseball bat. We have — and push people into subways just before the train gets there, like you see happening sometimes. We are looking into it, and we want to do it. I would love to do that.”
Additional portions of the interview are set to air later today. The interview was conducted by Rachel Campos-Duffy, who is married to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
Trump also raised the idea of deporting U.S. citizens yesterday when El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, visited the White House.
NBC News has reached out to the White House for comment on the president’s deportations plans.
In an interview with the British news outlet UnHerd, Vance sounded optimistic about the prospects of a trade deal with the United Kingdom.
“I think there’s a good chance that, yes, we’ll come to a great agreement that’s in the best interest of both countries,” Vance said, according to UnHerd’s report.
The vice president said the U.S. is “working very hard” with the British government on a trade deal, and he emphasized that Trump loves the United Kingdom and has business relationships in the country.
“But I think it’s much deeper than that. There’s a real cultural affinity. And of course, fundamentally America is an Anglo country,” Vance said, according to the outlet.
The vice president also said that the U.S. has “a much more reciprocal relationship than we have with, say, Germany.”
“While we love the Germans, they are heavily dependent on exporting to the United States but are pretty tough on a lot of American businesses that would like to export into Germany,” Vance added.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — At least twice over the past year, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ top government staffers have helped him directly raise campaign contributions, a practice members of his own political party want to end.
A proposal championed by Republicans in the state House would bar state employees — those who work for the governor or otherwise — from conducting most traditional campaign-type activities during working hours, including soliciting campaign contributions.

Democratic lawmakers led by Sen. Chris Van Hollen say they are willing to go to El Salvador to seek the release of a man who the Justice Department says it mistakenly deported there — a plan that has gained steam after the country’s president said during a visit to the White House that he would not send the man back to the U.S.
Van Hollen, D-Md., sent a letter yesterday to El Salvador’s ambassador in the U.S. requesting a meeting with the country’s president, Nayib Bukele, who said in a meeting with Trump later in the day that he “of course” would not send Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident, back to the U.S.

Trump administration officials are ramping up pressure on immigrants to leave the United States of their own volition, or “self deport,” as the number of people the government is deporting from the interior of the country remains stagnant, far below the vision for mass deportations promised by Trump and his top officials.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported just more than 12,300 immigrants from March 1 to March 28, slightly under the 12,700 people it deported during the same period last year, according to ICE data obtained by NBC News. ICE deported around 11,000 people in February.

If an immigrant the government claims is a gang member can be deported to El Salvador without any due process rights, then why not a U.S. citizen?
That was the nightmarish scenario immigration advocates and constitutional law experts were considering yesterday after Trump again pushed a provocative plan to deport U.S. citizens who have been convicted of unspecified crimes.

Biden previously spoke at a National High Schools Model United Nations event last month, but it was not open to members of the press.
