WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump described some migrants as “animals” Wednesday, in a charged discussion about the border wall and law enforcement.
“We have people coming in to the country, or trying to come in,” Trump told California Republicans visiting the White House, “we are taking people out of the country.”
“You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are, these aren’t people, these are animals and we’re taking them out of the country.”
Trump’s remarks came after comments on migration and law enforcement, so-called “sanctuary cities” for immigrants, and the MS-13 gang.
Trump has often painted members of MS13 — a gang that originated in the United States but with roots in El Salvador — as “vicious” and “killers.”

Rohingya ‘targeted for destruction’ by Myanmar, Gambia tells ICJ
THE HAGUE: Myanmar's military deliberately targeted the Rohingya minority in a bid to destroy the community, Gambia's Justice Minister Dawda Jallow told the International Court of Justice on Monday.
"It is not about esoteric issues of international law. It is about real people, real stories and a real group of human beings. The Rohingya of Myanmar. They have been targeted for destruction," Jallow told ICJ judges.
Gambia has dragged Myanmar before the ICJ, claiming its 2017 crackdown against the Rohingya minority was in breach of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention.
