Trump claimed that there are 13,000 \u200dundocumented immigrants who are \u2063murderers and linked their criminal behavior to genetics. \u200bHis statements have been challenged for distorting data\u2063 from Immigration and Customs\u200b Enforcement\u2064 (ICE), which indicated that while there \u200bare over 13,000 illegal \u2063immigrants with homicide convictions, \u2062these figures are more complex and don&#8217;t \u2062account for\u200b those\u2063 in local custody.<\/p>\n<p>White House Press Secretary \u200bKarine \u200cJean-Pierre condemned\u200b Trump&#8217;s comments as hateful and inappropriate, emphasizing the need for unity rather than division.
