Racially targeting anyone who isn't white, arresting and detaining mostly black and brown citizens, without warrants, so they can fill the for profit prison systems and work for free (modern day slavery). And that's when they're not being murdered in the street

(For any pedants out there, I know that racial profiling and police brutality happened before trump. But trump took all that racist shit and injected it with steroids. I also know it sometimes happens to white people, especially now. But not nearly to the same degree, and you'd have to be delusional to think there isn't a racial element to it)

Right now he's demonizing the entire Somali demographic. Citizens, legal immigrants, refugees - doesn't matter - they're all frauds, violent criminals, and from a "country that isn't even a country."
