US President Donald Trump outlined plans to tighten immigration laws, expand capital punishment and introduce stricter election rules during a campaign rally in Mississippi on Monday. He urged voters to support Republican candidates ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.

Trump pledged to pursue the “No Invasion of Our Country Act” and said Republicans would introduce the legislation. “We will pass the ‘No Invasion of Our Country Act,’” he said.

He also promised to seek the death penalty for major drug traffickers, human traffickers and people who kill police officers. Trump said, “We will pass the death penalty for large-scale drug dealers, human traffickers, and anyone who kills a police officer.”

The president further called for legislation requiring voter identification and proof of citizenship. He also backed what he described as the “SAVE AMERICA ACT” if Republicans retain power after the 2026 midterm elections.

Trump visited Mississippi to campaign for Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, who faces Democratic challenger Scott Colom. “I’m here because Cindy’s doing great, but I just got to make sure. I can’t take a chance,” Trump told supporters, according to the Associated Press.

Colom visited the rally venue before Trump's speech. The president later attacked the Democratic candidate, calling him a “Marxist radical,” “fake,” and a “shameless phony who pretends to be a moderate,” according to the AP.

Mississippi has traditionally been a strong Republican state. However, Democrats have expanded their electoral efforts in several conservative states amid voter concerns over inflation and the administration's handling of the Iran conflict.

Trump has made border security, public safety and election integrity key themes of his campaign. The proposed immigration legislation follows months of efforts by the White House to tighten enforcement and increase deportations.

His renewed demand for voter identification and proof of citizenship also reflects his longstanding claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged. Trump has repeatedly called for stricter election safeguards, citing voter fraud. Election experts, however, say documented cases of voter fraud in the United States remain rare.

Trump also argued that tougher penalties would help deter organised drug trafficking and human trafficking as Republicans seek to maintain control of Congress.
