    Default TRUMP's "FIRST STEP" and "OPPORTUNITY ZONES" Beat Anything Biden Ever Did for Blacks

    •President Trump signed the groundbreaking First Step Act into law in 2018, enacting historic reforms to make our justice system fairer for all.
    •The First Step Act addressed outdated, failed policies that were long overdue for reform. •This legislation eliminated the “three strikes” life sentencing provision for some offenses, expanded judges’ discretion in sentencing of non-violent crimes, and more.

    •The First Step Act is helping inmates successfully return to society by expanding access to rehabilitative programs. •These programs address the risks and needs of each prisoner to promote rehabilitation.
    •The President’s budget includes more than $400 million to expand access to First Step Act programs.

    •President Trump’s approach is smart on crime, providing inmates an opportunity to succeed while making our communities safer.

    Rule #1) Trump is always wrong.

    That's why his approval with blacks has more than doubled. They know not to listen to the MSM that lies to them daily, and turns them into oppressed victims.
    Keep changing the names. It doesn't change the meaning.

    The First Step Act, which replaced a federal “three strikes” rule that imposed a life sentence for three or more convictions – with a 25-year sentence, is benefiting thousands of incarcerated Black men, according to a new report.

    More than 1,000 individuals incarcerated in federal prisons were granted sentence reductions in the four months since the First Step Act was signed into law, according to the United States Sentencing Commission (USSC).

    Their sentences were reduced by a mean of 73 months or 29.4 percent, as a result of the resentencing provisions allowed under the Act which, in addition to shortening mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent drug offenses, applied resentencing to be applied retroactively to individuals convicted of crack cocaine offenses before 2010 – when the federal government reduced disparities between crack and powder cocaine offenses.

    The USSC found that over a quarter of the 1,051 resentencing motions were granted by federal courts in Florida, South Carolina and Virginia.

    Over 91 percent of the individuals whose sentences were shortened were African American and 98 percent were male, the USSC said.

    The average age of those granted resentencing motions was 45 – and the average age at the time of the original sentence was 32.

    “The 2010 re-set of the crack-powder cocaine disparity, under the Fair Sentencing Act passed that year, disparity was aimed at tackling the disproportionate racial impact on nonviolent drug offenders,” according to the Criminal Justice Network’s Crime Report.

    Signed into law by President Donald Trump in December, the First Step Act reportedly was the first major overhaul of the nation’s sentencing regime in decades.

    “More ambitious overhaul plans had been stalled in Congress, despite widespread bipartisan support,” according to the Criminal Justice Network.

    Trumps "approval with blacks has more than doubled?" Where, when?

    Trump ain't trying to appeal to black voters, his pitch on race is for suburban white women, attempting to show them he isn't lacking the empathy he is, his only strategdy for the black voter is to do everything he can to keep them home on election day, Georgia last week was no fluke

    Welp. I guess that means everything you said in your OP was true.

    And even if it was, this isn't something we should be celebrating. I want a president who is going to help the white working-class, not ANOTHER one that's going to prioritize minorities.
