Trump rejects amnesty and defends immigration policy

The U.S. President defended mass deportations of immigrants and opposed any amnesty for undocumented individuals, despite acknowledging the harshness of the policy. Trump reiterated that there would be no amnesty, emphasizing that those who entered the country were aware of the laws. Following the recent midterm elections, where Democrats gained significant support, Trump recognized the need for a strong immigration policy. Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin also rejected any agreements that would include amnesty, advocating for a bipartisan approach to immigration reform. The situation for Portuguese immigrants in the U.S. remains precarious, with reports of deportations and individuals overstaying their visas.
