Trump is detaining European tourists in ICE camps for weeks for the “crime” of holding an incorrect visa (as determined by ICE for volunteering to do chores while staying with a host family).
I don’t think he cares too much about committing war crimes. He hired Hegseth specifically because he’s a loyalist who’s happy to commit war crimes. The fascists are in charge, and cruelty is the point.

Brain drain, the collapse of public universities that rely on international students (which is probably many), and making tourists, legal residents, and non-natural-born citizens afraid to come or stay here.
Constantly attacking foreigners will make them leave or never show up, leaving the US a little dumber, a little poorer, making a little less economic/scientific/social progress, and a little more white.
And it’s that last piece that they’ll trumpet among their propaganda outlets and call it a victory.
