Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on illegal immigrants and suggested they are animals who slice and dice young girls.

Speaking at a campaign-style make America great again rally in Youngstown in Ohio, the US President likened the country to a nation going through a war which needed to be freed from illegal migrants.

The billionaire property developer, who has seen the number of immigrants with no criminal records arrested more than double under his presidency, claimed illegal immigrant gang members are not using guns because they are not painful enough.

One by one, we are finding the illegal gang members, drug dealers, thieves, robbers, criminals, and killers. And we are sending them the hell back home where they came from, President Trump told the crowd prompting applause.

And once they are gone, we will never let them back in, believe me. The predators and criminal aliens who poison our communities with drugs and prey on innocent young people - these beautiful, beautiful, innocent young people - will find no safe haven anywhere in our country.

He added: And youve seen the stories about some of these animals. They dont want to use guns because its too fast and its not painful enough. So theyll take a young, beautiful girl, 16, 15, and others, and they slice them and dice them with a knife because they want them to go through excruciating pain before they die.

President Trump, who mentioned no specific examples of where or when instances such as these had taken place, then branded them animals for the second time, saying America had been protecting them for too long.

He added: "Well, they're not being protected any longer, folks. And that is why my administration is launching a nationwide crackdown on sanctuary cities.

Mr Trump, who became famed for making inflammatory, xenophobic remarks during his presidential campaign, claimed US citizens were increasingly grateful forborder patrol.

He said: People are screaming from their windows, thank you, thank you to the border patrol and to General Kelly's great people that come in and grab these thugs and throw them the hell out.

Were liberating our towns, and were liberating our cities. Can you believe we have to do that? he asked.

The President claimed this was not being done in a politically correct fashion and they were instead doing it rough.

Despite the fact his predecessor Barack Obama was often branded deporter-in-chief by migrant rights activists, Mr Trump vociferously pledged to take a more stringent stance on illegal immigration during his election campaign.

Since arriving in the White House, he has pushed immigration enforcement further up the political agenda and arrests of immigrants residing in the US haveincreased. Nevertheless, deportations have marginally decreased as fewer people have been caught illegally crossing the Mexican border into the US.

Mr Trump also used the one-hour speech in the blue-collar rust belt city, which is a former centre of steel production, to express his happiness at being back in Americas heartland and away from the Washington swamp.

He also spent the address showing off about his presidential prowess and launching into an attack on fake news.

"It is much easier to act presidential than what we are doing here tonight, believe me. With the exception of the late, great Abraham Lincoln, I can be more presidential than any president that's ever held this office, he said.

"I think that with few exceptions, no president has done anywhere near what we've done in his first six months. Not even close.

The address was briefly interrupted by protesters on a couple of occasions with President Trump jeering at demonstrator by saying hes going back home to mommy.

Federal prosecutors charged a truck driver Monday with smuggling illegal immigrants after 10 of them died in his trailer over the weekend, renewing a fierce argument over border security and the risks migrants take to try to sneak into the U.S.

As many as 200 migrants had been packed in the truck, according to what one of them told federal investigators.

The driver, James Matthew Bradley Jr., claimed not to have known about them, saying he only figured it out when he stopped to relieve himself in a Walmart parking lot overnight Saturday and heard banging from inside the trailer.

Eight people were dead at that time, one died Sunday, and another died Monday morning. Nearly 30 others were hospitalized.

Human smugglers have repeatedly demonstrated that they have absolutely no regard for human life, said Thomas D. Homan, acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The stories the migrants told investigators matched those of hundreds of thousands of others who have jumped the border in recent years hoping to gain a foothold in the U.S.

One migrant said he was supposed to pay $5,500 to his smugglers at the end of the trip, which began on the Mexican side of the border, entailed paying protection money to the Zetas cartel, being rafted across the Rio Grande into Texas one night, then walking all night and into the next day.

Another migrant reported having laid up at a stash house in Laredo, Texas, for 11 days, awaiting a final trip to San Antonio. And still another migrant said he paid 60,000 pesos to be smuggled through Mexico, and was en route to Minnesota.

They were all picked up and put into the trailer, assured it was refrigerated and they were safe.

But the refrigeration didnt work and people began to pass out, the migrants told investigators. They took turns breathing through a hole in the trailer wall, hoping to get whatever relief they could.

Once the truck stopped, dozens of them jumped out and rushed to waiting vehicles, others fled for nearby bushes, and still others remained in the trailer with the dead or ailing.

Authorities say more than 100 migrants were in the trailer, with one of them estimating it was as many as 200.

Mr. Bradley, the driver, said he knew the trailers refrigeration didnt work, but said he didnt know anything about the load he was carrying. He told investigators he was hauling the trailer from Iowa to Brownsville, Texas, and had stopped several times in Texas, where he had his truck washed, detailed and polished.

When he stopped at the Walmart, he said he heard banging on the trailer, opened the doors and was surprised when he was run over by Spanish people and knocked to the ground.

Bradley said he then noticed bodies just lying on the floor like meat, James Lara, a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations, a division of ICE, said in an affidavit filed in court Monday.

The smuggling charge carries penalties that include the death penalty or life in prison.

The administration has said its crackdown on illegal immigration is, in part, an attempt to stop dangerous smuggling attempts like this weekends tragedy.

These smugglers have no regard for human life and seek only profits, said Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly.

The House is expected to vote later this week on a bill that would provide $1.6 billion to build the first parts of President Trumps proposed border wall.

11:35 AM PT -- A Notre Dame school official tells TMZ the university was aware of the walk-out, and even helped them out a bit for minimal distractions. Students asked ND heads a few days before graduation which exit they should take to cause the least amount of attention. ND didn't fight the protest. We're also told about 99% of the class stayed and received Pence warmly, which they consider a success.Mike Pence learned the true meaning of the phrase "Fighting Irish" when a couple dozen grads removed themselves from the ceremony during the Veep's commencement speech.

Pence was asked by Notre Dame to deliver the speech Sunday at its graduation, but the moment he stepped up to the lectern ... at least 20 students got up headed toward the back.

It was a planned protest against the Trump administration ... point made.

It's kind of a big deal. ND is a Catholic school ... and Pence is famously Christian. Also, the university is in Indiana ... where he served as governor before being tapped as Trump's VP.

Pence carried on like nothing happened. He fired up the audience and even got some cheers.

Mike Pence Makes Notre Dame Graduates Walk Out on His ...

Rep. Steny Hoyer wrongly claimed that Vice President Mike Pence used a private server when he was governor of Indiana. Pence did use a personal AOL account for some government business, but he did not have a private server.

Hoyer, the House Democratic whip, brought up the vice presidents past email practices in a July 25 interview on CNNs New Day.

The Maryland Democratwas askedabout President Donald Trumps tweet early that morning criticizing Attorney General Jeff Sessions for taking a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes. Trump referenced Clintons use of a private server and private email account to conduct business while she was secretary of state under President Barack Obama.

Trumps tweet is also problematic.

For starters, Sessions cannot take any position on an investigation concerning the presidential campaign.As a former adviser to the Trump campaign, the attorney general hasrecusedhimself from any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States. (Trumps mention of the DNC server is a reference to theRussian governments hacking of the Democratic National Committee computer systems. Former FBI Director James Comey has testified that his agency asked DNC officials for access to the partys servers after they were hacked, but the DNC refused the requests. There is no evidence that Clinton committed any crimes regarding the security breach of the DNC servers, and any campaign-related investigation would be covered by Sessions recusal.)

We also note that the FBI did investigateClintons email use, and the FBI director at the time recommended that no charges be brought against her or her aides a recommendation that was accepted by then-U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

CNNs Chris Cuomo asked Hoyer about the presidents criticism of his own attorney general. Hoyer dismissedit as a distraction. But in doing so, he got the facts wrong.

Hoyer, July 25: Well, you know, theres no smoke there, frankly, and this business about the use of the private server. Pence used a private server when he was governor of Indiana. I just think, frankly, all of that is distractions.

As the Indianapolis Star revealed in March, Pence routinely used a personal AOL account to conduct government business. The paper obtained nearly 30 such emails through a public records request, and an official with the vice presidents office told the paper that those were a small fraction of state-business messages associated with the AOL account.

But, contrary to Hoyers statement, Pence did not have a private server, nor did he use his personal email account exclusively for government business, as Clinton did. Pence also used a state government account.

There are other significant differences between the email practices of the two public officials.

The state of Indiana does not prohibit the use of personal email for government business as long as the emails are preserved, and the former governor took steps before he left office to preserve them, the Star story said. Pences office said his campaign hired outside counsel as he was departing as governor to review his AOL emails and transfer any involving public business to the state, the paper wrote.

In Clintons case, the State Departments inspector general said the department has had policies dating to 2005 that require normal day-to-day operations to be conducted on government servers. While occasional use of personal email for State business is permitted, Clinton should have turned over all work-related emails before she left office and did not until 21 months later.

Also, the IG said department policies adopted in 2007 requiredthat non-department servers used to process or store department information meet the same security controls as the departments systems and be registered with the department. Clinton did not adhere to either policy, according to an IG report issued May 26, 2016. (For more, see our story IG Report on Clintons Emails.)

Hoyer is entitled to his opinion about Trumps tweet, but in defending Clinton, he gets the facts wrong about Pences use of personal email for government business.

Hoyer Revisits Mike Pence's Emails - FactCheck.org

For the fourth time in just six months, the vice president swooped in to cast a tie-breaking vote, ending the 50-50 deadlock with the 51st vote to advance the bill.

"The Senate being equally divided, the vice president votes in the affirmative and the motion is agreed to," Pence said from the presiding officer's chair on the floor.

That vote puts Pence on a historically record-setting pace for breaking ties all the way back to John Adams in 1789, according to data from the US Senate Historical Office.

Pence is on track to average 7.9 tie-breaking votes per year, topping Chester Arthur's current highest pace of 5.5 votes per year. Almost two in three vice presidents in American history cast one tie-breaking vote or fewer per year in office.

Tuesday's vote marked the fourth time Pence has cast a tie-breaking vote so far.

He pushed through a plan to allow states to block funding for Planned Parenthood, casting a tie-breaking vote on a procedural motion and then a second tie-breaking vote later that day on the actual legislation.

He also cast the deciding vote in the nomination of Betsy DeVos to be secretary of education.

One main reason the Senate is finding itself deadlocked so often is because of its slim 52 Republican-seat majority and divided GOP caucus.

Pence is currently tied for 17th place all-time in total deadlock-resolving votes. John Calhoun holds the top spot with 31 tie-breaking votes during his time as vice president, from 1825 to 1832. John Adams cast 29 deciding votes as vice president in the late 1700s.

More recently, Al Gore cast four tie-breaking votes, Dick Cheney cast eight and Joe Biden cast zero during his eight years as vice president.

The Constitution provides that the vice president also serve as the president of the Senate, who has the power to cast a vote only if the Senate is equally divided.
