Speaking at a policy and awareness roundtable at 180 Church in Detroit’s inner city, Trump addressed the migrant crisis and its impact on the black community. “They’re coming for your jobs. And it’s terrible. … The black community is being hurt most by illegal aliens. They’re coming into your communities, and they’re taking your jobs,” Trump declared, drawing a round of applause from the predominantly black audience.

While Detroit is not officially a sanctuary city, it has faced its own influx of migrants, reminiscent of the challenges seen in cities like Chicago and New York.

During the event, Trump launched his “Black Americans for Trump” coalition, positioning it as a response to a similar group backed by the Biden-Harris campaign. Trump framed this move as an effort to gain the support of black voters historically let down by Biden.

Trump didn’t hold back in his criticism of Joe Biden, highlighting Biden’s role in the controversial 1994 crime bill that expanded policing and incarceration measures. “He walks around now talking about the black vote — he’s the ‘king of the super predators,’” Trump remarked, pointing out Biden’s hypocrisy.
