The Huffington Post, February 22, 2017: Standing Up For Immigrants and Refugees

“In his short time in office, Trump and his administration officials ordered a ban on refugees from seven predominantly Muslim countries, promised to punish sanctuary cities that offer immigrants refuge, and perhaps worst of all made nearly all 11 million undocumented immigrants a priority for deportation. Trump has also authorized hiring thousands more agents to create a massive deportation force with wide-ranging powers to arrest, detain and deport immigrants who have raised families and integrated into American society. Millions of families could be separated, leaving U.S. citizen children without parents, while millions more live in fear. The reports from school children and teachers in immigrant neighborhoods of trauma are heartbreaking.”
