 Donald Trump suggested Sunday that the U.S. start “profiling†people inside the country to thwart terrorism, calling it a hateful but “common sense†tactic, in the aftermath of recent terror attacks.
"I think profiling is something we're going to have to start thinking about as a country," Trump said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "I hate the concept of profiling, but we have to start using common sense.â€
The presumptive GOP presidential nominee also argued that other countries, including Israel, profile “and they do it successfully.â€
Trump, as he has frequently argued, said radical Islam groups are creating “big problems.â€
However, he didn’t directly say those groups should be the sole focus of profiling -- a strategy in which individuals or groups are targeted for additional law-enforcement scrutiny because of race or other characteristics.
Omar Mateen, the shooter in the June 12 massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla., was a radicalized Muslim and the subject of two FBI investigations into possible connections to terrorism.
