Far-right provocateur Michael Knowles defended Donald Trump’s mass deportations on Tuesday by telling his audience that the president was merely getting rid of violent criminals, all while arguing that “we need prejudice” because “stereotypes are all true.”
Communities across the United States have been gripped in fear for weeks as they braced for raids from Immigration and Customs Enforcement amid Trump’s promises to clear out “illegal criminal migrants” and send them out of the country. In cities like Chicago and New York, thousands of immigrants have already been swept up in these “made-for-TV” raids, handcuffed, loaded into military planes, and flown to other countries.
