US President Donald Trump has once again stirred geopolitical tensions by stating that he expects Greenland to come under US control by 2029, by the end of his current term in office.

During a phone interview on Steve Gruber's show on Real America's Voice, Trump responded to Gruber's assertion that the island would come under American control with a brief and confident message: "You can bet on it." The news was reported on Monday, August 3, 2026, by the portal Dnevno.hr.

Record Deportations and Growing Pressure on Protesters

While Trump announces territorial ambitions, his administration continues its intense enforcement of immigration laws. According to data released on Monday by CBS News, citing internal data from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency arrested more than 46,000 illegal migrants in July 2026. This is the highest monthly number of arrests since the start of Trump's second term.

On average, about 1,500 people were detained daily last month, making July surpass June's record of 43,000 arrests. According to agency data, over the past weekend, about 68,000 migrants were held in ICE detention centers, approaching the absolute record of over 70,000 detainees recorded in January 2026.

Legal Controversies: Allegations of Conspiracy Against Protesters

In parallel with record arrests, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) is increasingly using federal conspiracy charges against protesters demonstrating against ICE operations. As NPR News reported on Monday, some legal experts express concern that the agency is interpreting the law too broadly to prosecute political activists who oppose Trump's deportation agenda.

Meanwhile, Le Monde reported on Monday that Trump's nominee for attorney general has reached an agreement with senators after a previous conflict, although details of the agreement have not been disclosed.
