Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said his administration would seize the assets of criminal gangs and drug cartels and use the money as restitution for victims of crimes committed by migrants. The proposal came during a wide-ranging address at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday, during which the former president claimed that migrants have “taken over” large swaths of towns and are using military-grade weapons. “We’ve got to get them out of here,” he said.The Federal Crime Victims Assistance Fund provides financial assistance to those who have been affected by crimes. The $3.2 billion fund is financed by fines and penalties from convictions in federal cases, and payments to victims help offset medical and funeral costs, lost wages and other crime-related expenses."I'm announcing that for the first time under my administration, we will be seizing the assets of the criminal gangs and drug cartels, and we'll use those assets to create a compensation fund to provide restitution for the victims of migrant crime.""The government will help in the restoration. The government will help in the restitution, but something has to be done, and we're gonna get it done."

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has narrowed her search for a vice presidential running mate to two finalists, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, three sources with knowledge of the matter said on Monday.Harris, the U.S. vice president, is expected to announce her selection by Tuesday, ahead of her first scheduled public appearance with her running mate that evening at Temple University in Philadelphia.It was unclear if a final decision has been made, the sources said. The rally will kick off a five-day, seven-city tour of battleground states likely to decide the Nov. 5 election.The choice of a running mate is one of the most consequential decisions of Harris' political career, as she hastily pulls together a campaign to challenge Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and U.S. Senator JD Vance, his vice presidential pick, in the Nov. 5 election. Vance will also make a campaign stop in South Philadelphia on Tuesday.Shapiro's strong support for Israel could alienate some progressive voters, though it could also appeal to moderate voters and defang Republican efforts to turn the Israel-Gaza war into a wedge issue for Democrats.Walz, 60, is a former U.S. Army National Guard member and a former teacher who has raised his profile in recent weeks as an effective advocate for Harris. He has attacked Trump and Vance as "weird," a viral insult the Harris campaign has embraced.
