Minority Groups: Trump Choices and Justice System

minority groups: The selections are in line with Trump campaign rhetoric, which was openly bigoted against Muslims and frequently insulting to the black community, according to Metro News. To the dismay and apprehension of minority groups, they are an early signal that the unorthodox Republican is not planning to attempt a post-election pivot to some kind of inclusive moderation. Four of his picks, including the three announced on Friday, have demeaned Muslims or African-Americans. Trump choices make it more likely that Muslims will face intrusions on their civil liberties, as Trump has promised. They likely mean the death of a bipartisan effort to reform the criminal justice system, which was never certain to pass. They suggest that Trump intends to follow through on his crackdown on illegal immigration. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
