"Trump Vows to Continue Border Patrol Tactics Amid Criticism. In a recent statement, former President Donald Trump doubled down on his stance on border patrol tactics, dismissing calls to end the practice of stopping and detaining migrants at checkpoints. Trump argued that halting these stops would be a strategic mistake, allowing criminals to evade capture and gain an advantage. The controversy surrounding these tactics has sparked intense debate, with proponents arguing they are essential for national security, while critics claim they unfairly target vulnerable individuals."


Ending those stops, Trump wrote, would be “playing right into the criminal’s hands.”
