After Donald Trump, his running mate, JD Vance, and other MAGA allies spent much of September falsely claiming that migrants in Springfield, Ohio are eating peoples' cats and dogs, the former president kicked off October by spewing yet another false claim about migrants.

During his appearance at a manufacturing facility in Waunakee, Wisconsin — a suburb of the state's capital, Madison — the 2024 GOP nominee claimed that there's an app cartel leaders use to drop off immigrants in the United States.

Tuesday's visit comes after Trump also visited the battleground state Saturday, where he slammed President Joe Biden's policies on immigration and blasted his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris over her trip to the US-Mexico border last week, according to The Hill.

"They have an app that's being used by the cartel leaders — people making billions of dollars," Trump said. "The cartel leaders, they can just call the app, and they say where to drop the illegal migrants."

Democratic strategist Ally Sammarco replied via X: "big if true"

Former conservative reporter Eric Owens wrote: "Trump thinks there's Uber for illegal immigrants."

USA Today columnist Rex Huppke added: "Is the app in the room with you right now, grandpa?"
