Trump, the businessman and Republican presidential frontrunner, tweeted Friday: > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/634765744673267712) This comes after he flubbed his initial response to the Boston _Globe_ Wednesday, when the paper told him that one of the men had said, “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported,” when speaking about the crime. Trump told the _Globe_ at the time, “It would be a shame . . . I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate.” Trump’s language on immigration has been controversial, with many in the Latino community objecting to his claim during his campaign launch that many undocumented immigrants from Mexico are rapists. **Read Next:** [_The Republican 2016 Field Takes a Hard Right on Immigration_](http://time.com/4005245/republican-president-immigration/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4006552/donald-trump-latino-boston/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4006552/donald-trump-latino-boston/"},"headline":"Donald Trump Responds to Boston Assault: 'I Would Never Condone Violence'","datePublished":"2015-08-21T17:04:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:47:08.023Z","description":"Donald Trump publicly responded to the Boston incident where two men beat up a homeless Latino man and cited the businessman as inspiration.","url":"https://time.com/4006552/donald-trump-latino-boston/","keywords":["Donald Trump","2016 Election","Crime"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4006552/donald-trump-latino-boston/","name":"Donald Trump Responds to Boston Assault: 'I Would Never Condone Violence'"}}]}] ```
