Trump calls for death penalty for migrants who kill AmericansDonald Trump portrayed migrants as dangerous criminals during a rally in Aurora, Colorado, on Friday, calling for the death penalty for migrants who kill U.S. citizens as he escalates the anti-immigration rhetoric that has fueled his presidential run. Trump has already proposed an expansion of the death penalty for other offenders, including people convicted of sex trafficking women and children. Nearly half of U.S. states ban the death penalty. While there is a federal death penalty, it is rarely used, according to the Death Penalty Information Center, a non-profit group. The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment related to the death penalty proposal.
