In a new interview set to air Thursday night on Univision, former president Donald Trump indicated that if he’s elected in 2024, he may use the federal government to punish his critics and he defended his administration’s separation of migrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Acevedo’s sit-down marks the first time Trump has participated in such an interview with the network since he removed Univision anchor Jorge Ramos from a news conference on the campaign trail in 2015. Univision and Trump also settled a lawsuit in 2016 over the network’s decision not to air Trump’s Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants — part of the network’s broad effort at the time to cut ties with the Trump Organization as a result of Trump’s controversial comments about Mexican immigrants.
