Trump in row over tweet

Donald Trump previewed his immigration plans as he campaigned in Iowa, saying that he was developing an “exit-entry tracking system to ensure those who overstay their visas, that they’re quickly removed”.

Trump again pledged that as president he would help AfricanAmericans living in cities with high crime and low employment. Trump also drew an online backlash for a tweet he sent in response to the shooting death of NBA star Dwyane Wade’s cousin, gunned down near a school. “Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!” Trump tweeted. He later sent a tweet offering his condolence.

In Florida, Clinton running-mate Tim Kaine said: “We just ought to be extending our sympathy to the family. That’s the only reaction that’s appropriate right now.”

Clinton met intelligence officials at the FBI office in New York, for her first briefing since she became the Democratic nominee.

Trump’s campaign director is facing allegations of anti-semitism.

In a sworn court declaration, Stephen Bannon’s ex-wife, said the new campaign chief had objected to sending their twin daughters to an elite Los Angeles academy because he “didn’t want the girls going to school with Jews”. Mary Louise Piccard wrote in 2007: “He said that he doesn’t like the way they raise their kids to be ‘whiny brats’.”

Alexandra Preate, a spokeswoman for Bannon, said that he “never said anything like that”.
