Trump ‘list’ plan will boost racism and xenophobia
The “birther-in-chief” plans to publish a weekly list of alleged crimes committed by immigrants:
Click here for reuse options!The US President’s sweeping new executive order on immigration, which he signed on the fifth day of his presidency, includes a paragraph mandating the Secretary for Homeland Security to “make public a comprehensive list of criminal actions committed by aliens” in the US.
The list will also include details of so-called “sanctuary cities” that refuse to hand over immigrant residents for deportation.
The order reads:
To better inform the public regarding the public safety threats associated with sanctuary jurisdictions, the Secretary shall utilize the Declined Detainer Outcome Report or its equivalent and, on a weekly basis, make public a comprehensive list of criminal actions committed by aliens and any jurisdiction that ignored or otherwise failed to honor any detainers with respect to such aliens.”
t does not specify that only crimes committed by illegal immigrants should be included – raising the prospect of offences committed by any immigrant being published even if the person is living in the US legally.
The decision to publish a list of immigrant crimes is reminiscent of the ‘Black crime’ listings on Breitbart News – the far-right website that until recently was run by Steve Bannon, who is now Mr Trump’s chief strategist.

Well we, the public, are keeping a list of the crimes committed by this administration and you will be held accountable.

I am not a lawyer and I do not pretend to know what it takes to charge an official. By going off previous “impeachments” all it takes is a simple BJ and what this person has done goes way above and beyond a sexual act so this should not be hard (pun not intended).
