In 1989, Trump published an ad in New York calling to ‘Bring Back the Death Penalty’ and ‘Bring Back our Police’, angered by black and brown violence across cities. He has a long, consistent record of supporting strong law enforcement, defending ‘stop & frisk’, pheno-profiling and more even now.

In 2025, Trump's orders to combat vagrancy and encamp the homeless, empower police and end preferential treatment for minorities all build up into a perfect storm. His D.C. plan will prove as a template for what city-cleaning can accomplish, and if Congress puts out laws to enhance this effort, we may put down America's multi-decade criminal cancer.
