Discussions regarding UK political asylum are gaining traction.
According to a source with insider knowledge, some individuals within the administration are actively seeking relevant cases, as reported by The Sunday Telegraph.
The conversation surrounding “thought crimes” is not a new phenomenon.
Previously, the White House has offered political asylum to white South Africans who assert they face racial discrimination in their homeland.
Notable candidates for US refuge include 62-year-old Livia Tossici-Bolt, who was prosecuted for holding a sign that read “Here to talk if you want” outside a Bournemouth abortion clinic.
Another individual on Trump's list is 51-year-old physiotherapist Adam Smith Connor, who faced prosecution for praying outside an abortion center in 2022.
Trump emphasized the importance of deporting illegal migrants immediately.
During a wide-ranging discussion about the current situation in the UK, the US President stated that the country has “an advantage” because the sea acts as a “protector,” adding, “Sometimes they come in by boat, but it’s a protection.”
The businessman-turned-politician remarked that his former administration was “very tough at the border” and “would take people back immediately,” as the US is overwhelmed with “millions” of illegal arrivals.
He suggested that Britain “could do the same thing,” and further stated, “If you don’t get them out, you’re not going to have a country left.”
