Donald Trump electrified thousands at a packed "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" in Washington, pledging immediate action on immigration upon retaking office. Trump vowed to halt illegal immigration and launch the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, emphasizing decisive action within hours of his inauguration.
The rally showcased Trump’s signature blend of promises and fiery rhetoric, drawing comparisons to his earlier campaigns. Declaring it “the greatest political movement in American history,” he promised to undo Biden administration policies, reinstate the "Remain in Mexico" policy, and classify drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
Trump hinted at executive orders addressing border security and military changes, including missile defense initiatives. He also pledged transparency by releasing classified documents related to historical assassinations, including JFK and Martin Luther King Jr.
The rally, moved indoors due to freezing temperatures, drew supporters from across the country. Fans braved cold weather to see Trump’s address, many clad in MAGA hats and chanting patriotic slogans. Meanwhile, heightened security enveloped Washington, with steel barricades and 25,000 law enforcement personnel deployed.
