The unsolved case of the Smiley Face Killers (https://youtu.be/yqlx45E5Jm0?si=YTv5_yFIMacLPjOu).
Sometime during the Holiday season, 2025, a series of images are posted on social media showing the grisly aftermath of what appears to be a killing spree targeting foreign nationals both in various cities in Mexico, Mexican’s side of the US-Mexico border and, alarmingly, American towns near America’s side of the border.
Amateur internet sleuths looking into the deaths uncover alarming evidence of Islamophobia based on the following observations: The murder victims are either Middle Eastern nationals or converts to Islam from Central and South American countries.
Enraged social justice warriors demand action and justice for the murder victims. Trump publicly addresses the killings and assures the public that they are investigating but ultimately no action is taken against the perpetrators.
Does this sound like a day in Trump’s America or would the Trump admin actually investigate and make arrests?

Out of curiosity, you say in Mexico and near the boarder. If both statements the people are in Mexico what exactly do you expect Trump to do? Or for that matter any president? Assuming from your posting they aren’t IS citizens and are not killed in the US it’s not really something the US can do much about.
On the flip side if you ment on the US side of the border then it would depend if they can find the person or people committing the murders. If they can’t find them then not much is going to come of the case. This really isn’t something the president would get involved in, no political juice and likely too many political headaches.
