The president of the United States is explicitly encouraging police violence.
In a speech to law enforcement officials in Long Island on Friday, the president of the United States delivered a clear and chilling message: He thinks that unauthorized immigrants are subhuman, and that law enforcement should treat them accordingly.
The ostensible villains of Trump’s speech: the transnational criminal gang MS-13, which started in California but has taken root in El Salvador and whose members have been fingered in a string of high-profile killings in Long Island. Trump described MS-13 members as “animals” who “have transformed peaceful parks and beautiful, quiet neighborhoods into bloodstained killing fields.”
But the president has never been particularly scrupulous about differentiating “good” and “bad” immigrants. The lurid details of MS-13 crimes ended up underpinning a theme Trump has used before — that the US is “besieged” by migration (largely, in reality, of children and families) out of Central America:
You say what happened to the old days where people came into this country, they worked and they worked and they worked and they had families and they paid taxes and they did all sorts of things, and their families got stronger and they were closely knit. We don't see that. Failure to enforce our immigration laws had predictable results. Drugs, gangs, and violence.
Of course, Trump claims that thanks to his administration — one of whose first priorities was to “unshackle” immigration field agents to give them more latitude in going after unauthorized immigrants — the rule of law is being restored.
But Trump’s idea of the “rule of law” is mostly about looking and acting, in his own words, mean.
Just like it’s important to have “a rich guy at the head of commerce,” he said, it’s important to have “rough guys” as ICE agents:
I saw some photos where Tom [Homan, the acting head of ICE]’s guys, rough guys, they're rough, I don't want to be — I don't want to be, you know, say it because they'll say that's not politically correct, you're not allowed to have rough people doing this kind of work
At one point, Trump literally instructed the assembled police officers not to protect the heads of suspects who were under arrest and were being loaded into police cars:
When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just see them thrown in, rough, I said, please don't be too nice. Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over. Like, don't hit their head and they've just killed somebody. Don't hit their head. I said, you can take the hand away, okay?

It’s the closest Trump has come since inauguration to his infamous calls for violence against protesters at campaign rallies during the presidential primary. The themes aren’t new — they’re literally the oldest trick in Trump’s book — but they’re increasingly explicit. That’s a very bad sign.
Demonizing immigrants brought Trump to victory. Now it’s the theme he returns to whenever he’s struggling.
Back in 2015, Donald Trump launched his journey toward the presidency by winning surprising support for a single, powerful theme: Unauthorized immigrants are dangerous criminals who are invading America and coming for your family.
Forgive me if I read wrong but how the heck does calling MS13 animals equate to thinking all immigrants are subhuman, and again thinking that Illegals are immigrants in the legal since.
“Demonizing immigrants brought Trump to victory.”
Liar.
This is such pure Leftard idiocy. They truly are desperate.
Pardon me if I approve of going after MS-13 but that I do not approve of giving militarized and already out-of-control cops carte blanche to break the law so long as they can say it has to do with MS-13.
Dara Lind is off my Christmas list.
Sometimes when I'm feeling adventurous, I even leave Manhattan..!!! Once I saw a FARM, isn't that hilarious..?!
They are devils, demons...
She got her BA from Yale in 2009, so she was probably born around 1987+/-.
“paddy wagon”??? Lind is a racist. /s
Looks like it just got thrown out of the army.
Reinvent is hone as well
Tattoo parlors will be going out of business.
The gangers must be up-rooted.
This group of subhuman animals who rape for control, mutilate as a show of force and maim for fun are going to get their feelings hurt by being called animals.
The only thing wrong is the offense against animals who are never as cruel & viscous as these gang members. It will be fun watching the left cozy up to M13 and some of the left will have the experience of a lifetime along the way rather than the kumbaya moment their are picturing. Darwin effect...
