"Obama has carved out his executive power against new horizons, entrenching the legal phenomenon from which racial stigma is borne. His Department of Homeland Security has deported record numbers of individuals—409,849 people in 2012 alone, with a projected 2 million total by 2014—and detains a record-breaking 400,000 immigrants annually in an archipelago of 250 jails and detention centers nationwide. Secure Communities forces local police to collaborate in enforcing federal immigration law, all but inviting police officers to intensify racial profiling. Equally breathtaking, just last week, the Obama administration again claimed for itself in federal appeals court the right to have targeted and killed three (Muslim) American citizens, without any judicial oversight or even jurisdiction. The message sent to immigrants, to Muslims, to people of color: you are all suspects, and there is no place you should feel safe." Remember, I did not say his name, just relaying the information. I know how emotionally attached some Black people are to the President of the United States that they ignore the policies coming out the administration that bears his name.
