In a Thanksgiving statement, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to "permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries," intensifying his anti-immigration stance amid recent controversies and attacks on immigrant communities.

• Trump claimed the foreign-born population has reached 53 million, alleging strain on public services and associating migrants with "failed nations" and "criminal elements."
• He vowed to reverse "millions of Biden illegal admissions," end federal benefits for non-citizens, deport "public charges or security risks," and "denaturalize" those undermining domestic stability.
• Trump heavily criticized Somali communities, particularly in Minnesota, alleging they are "taking over" parts of the state and driving crime, claims contested by state officials and aimed at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Representative Ilhan Omar.
