Nationwide, while Democrats currently hold fewer seats than they have at any time since Republicans took away all their slaves after the Civil War, where they do remain in power, the murder rate is on the rise. According to a new report, across the country, the murder rate rose 8% over last year, but this is primarily due to a handful of cities -- Chicago, Baltimore, and Houston. And all three of those cities have been run exclusively by Democrats for decades.

Although the American public may be inured by now to Trump’s unconventional approach, his speech on Long Island drew strong reactions.

“It’s clear that the way he views things is simple: If you’re a person of color, then police can beat you, slam you to the ground, not have any respect for your rights as a human,” said Jeff Robinson, a deputy legal director at the American Civil Liberties Union.

“It’s outrageous. … If you’re a person of color in this country, there’s every reason to fear for your life, when you hear these comments from a president,” Robinson added.

Earlier Thursday, hundreds of demonstrators protested outside the community college located in Brentwood, a suburb of 60,000 people, two-thirds of them Latino. The protesters complained that Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric and tactics have terrorized the community nearly as much as the gangs.

“Trump is preparing for a massive deportation, and he is justifying this by using our Hispanic community in Brentwood as an excuse to help us against MS-13,’’ said Javier Guzman, a 50-year-old activist who was among the protesters.

The MS-13 gang has recruited from the ranks of young immigrant teenagers from Central America, many of whom were sent to live with relatives in the U.S. because it had become too dangerous for them in their home countries.

These unaccompanied minors make up most of the people arrested for gang violence, as well as the majority of the victims. Few victims have been non-Latino.

Elizabeth Alvarado, 49, a Brentwood woman whose 15-year-old daughter, Nisa Mickens, was killed with a machete last year, said that many of the unaccompanied minors allowed into the United States joined gangs because of lack of supervision.

Almost one-third of 214 U.S.-based MS-13 gang members arrested in an international sweep were invited into the United States by President Barack Obama’s “Unaccompanied Alien Children” policy.

The successful “Raging Bull’ sweep was announced by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Deputy Director Tom Homan in a joint press conference at ICE headquarters in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.

The operation is a “significant step towards dismantling and eradicating MS-13 in the United States and in El Salvador,” said Deputy Assistant Attorney General David Rybicki, the second-ranking official at DOJ’s Criminal Division. El Salvador police also arrested 53 gang members in El Salvador.

Sixteen of the 214 arrestees in the United States are U.S. citizens. Five were legal immigrants.
