Mediocre White Men

This little soy boy wants to deport black americans. Good luck little man.

Hawk breaks down a Twitter post from Greg Bovino, the former face of ICE and Customs and Border Patrol, who claimed he wants to deport 106 million people from the United States if he runs for president. Hawk explains how that number, roughly 31.2 percent of the population, lines up almost exactly with the combined total of black and Hispanic Americans in the country, a connection later confirmed by Jonathan V. Last on The Bulwark podcast.

Hawk connects this to the pending Supreme Court ruling on Donald Trump’s executive order targeting birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment. He lays out the argument being pushed by Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino, and Trump that citizenship rights should only apply to the first generation born to freed slaves, stripping citizenship from black and brown Americans born afterward.

Hawk ties this to the recent Supreme Court ruling that disenfranchised millions of black Americans in the South, calling out what he sees as a coordinated effort rooted in white supremacy playing out in real time across the courts, the executive branch, and immigration enforcement.
