Violence and hate crimes toward Muslims have risen significantly because Donald Trump perpetuated Islamophobic sentiments during his campaign for president. — Saher Selod, Forever Suspect_ Racialized…, 481

Categorization

• XREF: Connects to internment literature and legal precedent (Korematsu legacy), tying to the COINTELPRO/surveillance precedent thread.
