Trump's Tweets Are Highly Correlated With Anti-Muslim Hate Crimes, Study Finds

Because of course they are. Trumpie zombies are activated by his hateful tweets, amplified by the echo chamber.

"A federal judge in Washington on Monday ordered the U.S. government to immediately release or grant hearings to more than 1,000 asylum seekers who have been jailed for months or years without individualized case reviews, dealing a blow to the Trump administration’s crackdown on migrants.

U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg of Washington said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ignored its own policy stating that asylum applicants who establish a “credible fear” of persecution in their native country must be granted a court hearing within seven days or released.

He granted a preliminary injunction preventing the government from carrying out blanket detentions of asylum seekers at five large U.S. field offices, including those currently held, pending resolution of the lawsuit.

The American Civil Liberties Union and other groups sued in March after finding detention rates at the offices surged to 96 percent in the first eight months after President Trump took office in 2017, up from less than 10 percent in 2013." WaPo

Immigration isn't our problem, ethnocentric neofascism is.

These are symptoms. Antiglobal nativism is what got Trump elected. The election of Trump is a nativist American reaction to Globalization. Globalization has been going on for a long time. Whatever happened to union labeled clothing?
