The former president, known for name-calling his opponents, referred to Harris as 'Comrade Kamala' and blaming her for a so-called 'Kamala Crime Wave'.
Trump also shared stories of crimes allegedly committed by illegal immigrants and vowed mass deportations if he's elected this November.
"We'll shutdown all deadly sanctuary cities throughout the country because all they do is shield criminals [from prosecution," Trump said. "We're going to close the border down Day One."
The former president also promised to invest in programs to hire more police.
"We're going to stand up for our law abiding citizens of America," Trump said.
Trump spoke for more than hour before he left to continue his campaign with a event in Asheville, North Carolina on Wednesday.
