As the U.S. Immigration Department continues carrying out mass deportations across the country, American President Donald Trump has announced his visa sales website.

“Thousands of people have called and asked how they can apply and start the journey to access the greatest and best country and market in the world,” Trump wrote on social media to promote the website TrumpCard.gov.

The visa announcement, also referred to as the Gold Card, was made last month while the president was traveling aboard the presidential aircraft Air Force One. On that occasion, he showed an example of the “golden visa” featuring his face.

The idea is to attract high-income foreign investors by offering the sale of a permanent residency visa for $5 million. Sales haven’t started yet on the website, but the waiting list is already open.

Trump hopes to sell “1 million” units of the visa. “Wealthy people will come to this country by purchasing the card. They will be successful, spend a lot of money, pay a lot of taxes, and employ many people.”

At the same time, protests against the tightening of immigration rules by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are spreading across the country.

Videos showing police violence during the demonstrations are mixed with footage of families being separated, babies ripped from their mothers’ arms, and pregnant women being dragged away by authorities.
