Jeff Gunter, a former Trump official who’s looking to flip a key U.S. Senate seat in Nevada from Democrat to Republican, has announced an initiative to help tackle the border crisis that involves a combination of bolstering border security and assisting with the mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

“Build the Wall, Deport Them All,” Dr. Gunter, a physician and former U.S. Ambassador to Iceland, wrote in a post on X on May 4, saying he refuses “to stand by and watch our communities be destroyed by the flood of illegals.”
