20. No, it WON'T. I just saw an interesting segment
Tue Jul 29, 2025, 01:04 PM
Jul 2025

on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, having to do with 'Gang Databases' and the sometimes bizarre ways people, especially Black people and people of colour, get on them, including just for living in a certain neighborhood. People who have no clue they've been designated a 'gang member.'



So when one recalls how certain immigrants have been abducted and disappeared based upon alleged 'gang' affiliations, how those lists are being used,

how unidentified masked groups are snatching people off streets without explanation,

and how Trump is going after birthright citizenship, and questioning an 1868 Amendment that ensures citizenship for not only native born children of immigrants, but also (NOT too coincidentally, I think) Black people (people who Trump, and those of his ilk don't consider 'real Americans' anyway, no doubt),

and when you look at his words, actions, and practices so far, with regard to anti DEI efforts, the restoring of Confederate names, the building of mass concen... correction.. 'detention' camps,

his threats aimed at inner ('sanctuary') cities... and all the rest

then no, doesn't take rocket science to see at least the possibility of what may come NEXT for whomever Trump decides need " get the hell out" to use his exact words.

As a matter of fact, he's already TOLD us so:

Trump threatens to throw 'bad' citizens 'the hell out' of the U.S. as his next major action - Daily Mail
