“During an appearance at conservative think-tank the Hudson Institute on Monday, House Speaker Mike Johnson endorsed Trump’s nightmarish desire to deport 15 to 20 million undocumented immigrants from the United States, saying it’s ‘needed,'” the New Republic reports.
Said Johnson: “We will be dealing with this for decades to come. President Trump has said we want to start the largest deportation effort in history. It’s needed. We need to find all these dangerous people, criminals. They’ve emptied out prisons in Central America and sent them all over the border.”
