UN Calls Out Trump’s Immigration Crackdowns; White House Calls UN 'Biased Fans'
KEY POINTS
- •The UN’s racial discrimination committee issued a rare public criticism of President Trump's immigration crackdown in March 2026.
- •Since Trump retook office, over 675,000 deportations happened amid claims of profiling and eight deaths in ICE custody.
- •The White House denied wrongdoing, citing record low murder rates, while polls show growing public disapproval of ICE’s methods.
On a Wednesday with less excitement than expected, the UN’s Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination dropped an unprecedented hammer on President Trump’s 2nd term immigration blitz: accusing him of racist hate speech and scolding ICE for targeting Latinos, Africans, and Asians with racial profiling near schools and hospitals — basically turning the ‘most secure border in history’ into a human rights minefield. The White House clapback? Calling the UN ‘extremely biased,’ while claiming crime rates have plummeted to a 125-year low. Meanwhile, ICE’s deportations hit a whopping 675,000 since January, and at least eight people died in tough-guy custody. Polls show Americans increasingly don’t vibe with these raids, but hey, security first, feels maybe later.
