Trump Just Made Another Big Move to Aid His Ongoing Mass Deportation Operation

In the order, the White House framed the decision that banks would face credit risks if one of their customers were deported and any loans could no longer be repaid. The White House said it would not “permit risks to our financial system posed by the extension of credit or financial services to the inadmissible and removable alien population.”

Since banks have never collected any information about their customers’ citizenship or immigration status, there are no reliable public figures on how much risk these customers pose to the financial system.

Supporters of Trump’s deportation efforts have long stated that eliminating access to benefits like jobs, access to financial services, and other economic avenues will contribute to self-deportation.
