Trump threatens exile for Americans who are ‘repeat offenders’ and ‘violent criminals’

President Donald Trump on Monday told Republican members of the House that he would launch a plan to subject recidivist American criminals to a punishment never before used in the United States and last used in the United Kingdom nearly two centuries ago: Forced exile.

“We’re going to get approval ... to get them the hell out of our country,” he vowed. “Let’s see how they like it.”

Trump last week pardoned more than 1,500 people convicted of crimes linked to the the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots, including 169 who pleaded guilty to assaulting police officers in a bid to overturn the election in Trump’s favor.

Trump unveiled his plan to exile Americans as he spoke to House Republicans during a dinner for them at his Doral, Florida golf resort, about his administration’s operation implementing mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.
