Sticking to familiar themes, the former president said he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/ng-interactive\/2024\/oct\/31\/election-trump-immigration-policies\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">would invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1790<\/a>, the law under which Japanese, Italian and German Americans were interned during the second world war, and would pursue the death penalty for undocumented immigrants who kill an American.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThe United States is now an occupied country.

Turnout in the county has been about 10% below the state average so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Elsewhere, Trump referred to retired generals who worked for him as \u201cstupid\u201d, naming former chair of the joint chiefs of staff Mark Milley, his former chief of staff John Kelly and former defense secretary James Mattis. Each of the retired generals have been sharply critical of Trump, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/oct\/23\/us-presidential-election-trump-harris-updates\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Kelly describing Trump last month as \u201cfascist to the core\u201d.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cWith your vote on Tuesday, I will end inflation, I will stop the invasion of criminals coming into our country,\u201d Trump said. \u201cWe\u2019re at the five-yard line, maybe even the one-yard line \u2026 This is really all you need to know: Kamala broke it and I\u2019ll fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Georgia Republican chairperson Josh McKoon told rally-goers that he had authorised a federal lawsuit to stop Fulton County election offices from remaining open over the weekend to accept absentee ballots delivered by hand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThey decided they wanted some overtime,\u201d McKoon said. \u201cWe will not let them make 2024 [into] 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">On Saturday, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/nov\/02\/georgia-judge-rejects-republican-attempt-voting\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Georgia judge rejected the Republican lawsuit to block counties from keeping their offices open<\/a> over the weekend to let voters hand in their ballots in person.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Sunday\u2019s rally was attended by Herschel Walker, Trump\u2019s hand-chosen senate pick who narrowly lost a challenge against Raphael Warnock in 2022 after a campaign marred by gaffes. It was the first appearance by Walker at a Trump rally this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Georgia\u2019s Republican governor, Brian Kemp, was conspicuous by his absence. Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/article\/2024\/aug\/05\/trump-atlanta-rally-brian-kemp-republicans\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">spent years antagonising Kemp<\/a> following the governor\u2019s refusal to accede to the former president\u2019s attempts to overturn the 2020 election result in Georgia. But Trump and Kemp recently appeared to reconciled and the governor pledged his support to the former president. The two appeared together at a stop near Augusta to review damage from Hurricane Helene last month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Kemp has not appeared at a Trump rally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Speaker after speaker on Sunday referred back to President Joe Biden\u2019s comment about Trump\u2019s Madison Square Garden rally a week ago, in which a comedian called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage. Biden sparked outrage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/oct\/29\/joe-biden-puerto-rico\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">after appearing to call Trump supporters \u201cgarbage\u201d<\/a> in response, an assertion the president has rejected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Nonetheless, speaker after speaker leaned into the \u201cgarbage\u201d comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cI can tell you right now, if this is what they consider garbage,\u201d said Georgia lieutenant governor Burt Jones, \u201cthen I\u2019ll take this trash all day long.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Representative Andrew Clyde said: \u201cThere\u2019s an old saying.
