Donald Trump has reignited controversy by claiming illegal immigrants are bringing "bad genes" into the United States during a radio interview. Criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump referred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) figures showing 13,000 immigrants not in federal detention, many convicted of murder. He alleged that criminal behavior is genetic, fueling further debate. Trump's statement, which misconstrues ICE data, follows his ongoing campaign to vilify undocumented immigrants. US media reported a 75% drop in border apprehensions this year. Trump's remarks have drawn comparisons to inflammatory rhetoric and increased tensions ahead of the 2024 election.
