Sessions greenlights police to seize cash, property from people suspected of crimes but not charged-
The Justice Department announced a new federal policy Wednesday to help state and local police take cash and property from people suspected of a crime, even without a criminal charge, reversing an Obama administration rule prompted by past abuse by police
Police then spent the proceeds from the seizure with little oversight, according to the Post investigation. In some cases, the police bought luxury cars, high-powered weapons and armored cars.
At a meeting with county sheriffs on Feb. 7, President Trump made clear to law enforcement officials that he is a strong supporter of the civil asset forfeiture program and told the Justice Department to rescind the Obama administration restrictions.
A Washington Post investigation in 2014 found that state and local police had seized almost $2.5 billion from motorists and others without search warrants or indictments since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The Post series revealed that police routinely stopped drivers for minor traffic infractions, pressed them to agree to searches without warrants and seized large amounts of cash when there was no evidence of wrongdoing.

Making America great again.......
So the Fed is stealing money from American citizens despite safeguards put in place by the Obama administration, on orders from President Trump. When are they going to seize the cash, assets, and vehicles of white collar criminals without charges? Probably never. How many millions could the Fed snatch if they raided the piggy banks of some Wall Street thieves, corporate embezzlers, or tax evaders? As you can see this administration would protect the rights of rich criminals and steal from those whose rights are already being stopped and searched under sketchy conditions more often for being a minority. According to Forbes (among other sources) much of this searching is due to racial profiling.
