The order reads:

To better inform the public regarding the public safety threats associated with sanctuary jurisdictions, the Secretary shall utilize the Declined Detainer Outcome Report or its equivalent and, on a weekly basis, make public a comprehensive list of criminal actions committed by aliens and any jurisdiction that ignored or otherwise failed to honor any detainers with respect to such aliens.”

It does not specify that only crimes committed by illegal immigrants should be included - raising the prospect of offences committed by any immigrant being published even if the person is living in the US legally.

The decision to publish a list of immigrant crimes is reminiscent of the ‘Black crime’ listings on Breitbart News - the far-right website that until recently was run by Steve Bannon, who is now Mr Trump’s chief strategist.

1. So... there will be a comprehensive list on immigrant-violence but not on police-violence?

[Paladin]

2. How about somebody compiling a Trump Crime Digest?

He seems to be adding to it all the time.

[dhill926]

23. my thought as well....

list would no doubt be longer...

[brush]

3. Fascism is here. What's next, an identifyiing mark on clothing?

4. The propaganda prez...

[Vinca]

5. How about a weekly list of Donald's crimes?

[dalton99a]

30. +1

[mainer]

6. Pre Holocaust, the newspapers did this with Jews

In Italy, they'd put any crime committed by a Jew on the front page. Anything good by a Jew was buried.

[DeadLetterOffice]

11. This was my first thought.

We are living in pre-WWII Germany...

[dalton99a]

31. Both Trump and Bannon seem familiar with the practice

[stonecutter357]

7. Donald Trump is no President..

[BeyondGeography]

8. Paranoia, demonization, cruelty

Coming from the top. This is going to warp our culture. People should have known this when they voted for him. They didn't care. I hold them equally responsible, moreso even. Trump is what he is. They had a choice and they took it.

[MBS]

12. Three words that sum up this wretched regime to a T.

And I agree that Trump voters have to take responsibility for what their votes have done to our country.
Ditto Stein voters and non-voters.

[sweetloukillbot]

15. I hold Stein and non-voters more responsible.

The Trump voters wanted this shit - the others couldn't be bothered to stand against it.

[MBS]

17. My feelings as well.

Especially those among that group who dare to complain about the result.

[mainer]

9. By drawing attention to crimes, petty or not, by immigrants

we ignore the vast majority of crimes committed by the American born. We emphasize the immigrant as "hostile other."

And that's how all holocausts begin.

[dalton99a]

32. Indeed.

[certainot]

10. that makes sense. the talk radio president wants press to do

same thing rw radio's been doing since 2000 when rove used it to create the pretext for all the voter suppression legislation they've passed

maybe the left will pay attention now?

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. And the Trumpnazi bandwagon rolls on.....

[KittyWampus]

14. How about a list of crimes committed by Trump supporters? Or white men shooting up churches, schools

and Democratic Senators?

[Botany]

16. Well according to one of his ex wives Trump kept copies of Hitler's speeches by his bed

[safeinOhio]

18. Will the list include the Russian Mob.

They own most of the massage parlors and run huge financial scams. For the small number of them, they commit a large number of crimes and the money flows back to Putin's personal accounts.

[dreamland]

19. We need a counter list

Is there a list that will show all the crimes of the cabinet?
Certainly there plenty of the fodder from this administration.

[MatthewStLouis]

20. Trumpers don't understand or even care about statistics...

Other crimes are far more problematic and way less random.
Why no hate crimes list? Or crimes committed by white males?
Of course alternate reality folks will always find a scapegoat.

These people and their "stick it to the liberals" agenda make me sick.

[True Dough]

21. He is going to wind up his base

and he knows it, the bastard. He'll distort reality by drawing more attention to crimes by immigrants and there will be more hate crimes in response. Innocents will be targeted by virtue of their skin color alone.

What a despicable POS Trump is!

[Javaman]

22. the orange menace is fucking crazy. nt

[hollowdweller]

24. Bernie should start a list of companies wage theft.

[idahoblue]

25. Will there be a list of crimes against immigrants?

[BadgerMom]

28. +1

This is what I thought, too.

[geek tragedy]

26. Incitement tactic copied from the people who brought us Der Sturmer nt

[hopeforchange2008]

27. OMG! It's like LePage's book of drug busts!

[dalton99a]

36. Yep.

[joanbarnes]

29. How about a (longer) list of crimes committed by Wall Street?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

33. Will we get color-coded alert levels in the media too?

Like this crap, except with "immigrant" replacing the word "terrorist"?

[pfitz59]

34. Results will be skewed

"Sanctuary cities" just won't report "Declined Detainer Outcomes"

[johnnyrocket]

35. Wow, things are actually going worse than I could have possibly imagined.
