This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

There’s absolutely nothing to debate.
Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

So working as designed then.
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

The U.S. is spending $37.5B on ICE this year—more than Canada’s entire military budget. That’s double the EPA, FDA, and OSHA combined.
It costs every household $300/yr for ICE to terrorize their neighbors. Even if ICE meets its cruel goal of 1M deportations, that’s $37.5K per person. For what?
