Former President Donald Trump cited the "body language" of Democrats as proof that they support his proposed mass deportation policy.
While speaking to reporters at the U.S. border in Arizona on Thursday, Trump was asked about Democrats who oppose the mass deportations he has proposed to carry out if he is reelected.
"Let me tell you, they're much more supportive than you think," Trump replied. "I've watched New York [Mayor] Eric Adams."
"I've watched a lot of — I've watched the body language, a lot of people that are in charge of that," he remarked. "They want to straighten it out. They can't live like this."
Trump claimed he had "watched governors talking" and "they want it out much more than people would understand."

"And the people, including Democrats, Democrats want to have a secure border," he asserted. "It's the leadership that doesn't. So I think that'll be a very easy situation to solve."
