President-elect Donald Trump has linked a deadly New Year's Day attack in New Orleans to his call for stricter immigration enforcement.
The vehicle attack, which resulted in 14 fatalities, was committed by Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen, not an immigrant, contradicting initial reports.
In his statements, Trump escalated rhetoric around open borders, despite the attacker being identified as an American citizen.
Analysts note Trump's use of such events to support his long-standing narrative against immigration, arguing it provides political leverage for strict border policies.
Public reactions from Trump's allies included calls for shutting the border and framing the incident within a narrative of immigrant terror threat.
