“What I would hope that the Trump administration would do is reconsider this. Look at how it’s going to impact states like Ohio. In Ohio, the Haitians are working primarily in manufacturing. They’re also working in the food area. But if you look at where they’re working across the country, probably the most important area they’re working is in health care. It’s Haitians who are taking care of your mom or your dad who has Alzheimer’s, taking care of family members who might be in a nursing home. And to say we’re going to pull all those out, it’s just not in our own self-interest.”

“A federal judge on Wednesday tossed out a lawsuit filed by the Justice Department that accused four New Jersey cities of having ‘sanctuary’ policies that shield undocumented immigrants and from federal immigration enforcement,” the New York Times reports.

New York Times: “Under Mr. Trump, the program has effectively become a whites-only path to life in the United States, a culmination of the president’s longstanding antipathy toward immigrants and his embrace of the concept of “reverse racism” as a guiding principle in his administration.”

“They will get an Android tablet, an American flag and copies of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. They will also receive a packet of literature that provides a sanitized, Trump-approved view of American and South African history, one that criticizes racial equity and civil rights laws and promotes claims of discrimination against white people.”

“For more than a year, the Pentagon has deployed about 9,000 active-duty troops along nearly 2,000 miles of the southwest border to confront illegal migrants, smugglers and drug cartels,” the New York Times reports.

“Retired staff sergeant Wilmer Trujillo served roughly 20 years in the U.S. Army and the Texas National Guard, with deployments and assignments in Afghanistan, Iraq and South Korea,” CBS News reports.

“But Trujillo says he is now facing the most difficult battle of his life, as he implores the government he began serving in uniform after high school to not deport his wife.”
