Trump Signals Project 2025 Migrant Deportation in Fox News Interview: ‘We’re Going to Get Them Out’

The signal may have been broad, but it was no less clear: Former President Donald Trump told Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner that his solution to illegal immigration was “we’re going to get them out,” which is entirely in line with a massive deportation plan of as many as 12 million people detailed in the controversial Project 2025 plan.
Trump sat with Faulkner for an interview taped before the assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, early Saturday evening — which aired Monday morning on Fox News.
Portions of the interview felt immediately dated — like his attack on “sick, deranged” Democratic members of Congress, which defies a reported new tone of unity he and the RNC plan to embrace in the Republican National Convention.
“He blew it,” Trump said of President Joe Biden at one point, adding, “I gave him a silver platter of … the potential was so great. And what happened? They let millions of people pour into our country, and you haven’t seen one thing yet: Migrant crime. Because they’re just getting comfortable in our country right now. The migrant crime is going to be numbers that you haven’t ever with…”
“So how do you deal with that on day one?” Faulkner asked.
“We’re getting them out of here. We’re getting them out. He won’t get them out. We’ll get them out. We’re going to get them out,” Trump replied. “We’re going to deal with our local police forces. We’re going to get them out. We have no choice.”
Project 2025 is the controversial road map created by the ultra-Conservative Heritage Foundation, which Trump has tried to distance himself from, even though he has praised it in the past, and the vast amount of thought leaders attached to it came directly from his administration. Among the many controversial components of the blueprint of Trump’s second term is the mass deportation and internment camps of migrants, which has been supported by Speaker Mike Johnson.
“They’re going to destroy our country,” Trump concluded. “But just to leave on a much more positive note, we’re going to make America great again. “
