Donald Trump is considering a possible executive order that would require banks to make sure customers are U.S. citizens to create or keep their accounts, according to a new report.
The proposed action, reported byThe Wall Street Journal, would see banks collect information on individuals’ citizenship through requests for a new category of documents in order to open the accounts.
The Independent has contacted the White House for confirmation or further information about reports of the executive order, which has reportedly raised eyebrows among some banks in recent days.
No need for the /s. In the Land of the Free the pigs can just keep it. Legally.
(Technically it has to be involved in a crime, but ICE are criminals, so anything they do is by definition involved in a crime. And it’s not like technicalities have ever stopped other swine breeds from stealing people’s cash anyway.)
Correction, it doesn’t need to be involved in a crime, the cops just need to pretend to think it might have been.
I didn’t even need to click on the link to know it pointed to civil forfeiture. The fact that they’re not required to destroy whatever they steal creates one hell of a perverse incentive to keep doing it.
