Trump steps up attacks on minority congresswomen | TheHill

President Trump on Monday stepped up his attacks on four progressive, minority Democratic lawmakers, which were widely condemned by Democrats as racist and unbecoming of an American president.

One day after Trump said the women should “go back” to their home countries, even though all are U.S. citizens, the president denied he was being racist and expressed no remorse when told that white nationalist groups found common cause with his message.

Trump: I don’t have a racist bone in my body | TheHill

In a series of tweets Sunday, Trump wrote that the women should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”

Three of them are natural-born U.S. citizens and the fourth, Omar, is a naturalized citizen who was a refugee from Somalia.

The tweets are the latest instance of Trump stoking racial animus since he burst onto the political stage. Before he was elected president, Trump questioned whether former President Obama was a U.S. citizen even though he was born in Hawaii. Trump also lashed out at a federal judge by arguing his Mexican heritage would not allow him to fairly decide lawsuits against Trump University.

The knock from the ICE Agents may still come. This may be a calm before the storm. It is important people remain aware and know their rights.

Just because you are a citizen do not assume they will not come knocking for you. ICE OFTEN arrest permanent citizens of the US “by mistake”. It has taken 4 years for cases to be sorted. In the meantime you are losing your home because you are imprisoned.

The cruelty of the punishment, citizen or not, is the point. Between 2012 and 2018 ICE wrongly arrested 1480 citizens. ICE will not be any better now.

Know where your papers & passports are. Know the number of or how to contact an immigration lawyer. Know the number of a friend or family member who can help you, know where they are likely to take you. Can your friend or family member find your papers if…

ICE came for their neighbor, so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrived at a Nashville home Monday in an attempt to detain a man there, neighbors and activists gathered to support the man, who remained shuttered in a van with a child for hours before the agents left.

And once the agents and police officers they had called to the scene finally drove away, neighbors who had kept the man and the boy fed, hydrated and cool, formed a human chain from the van to the house as the man and the boy shuffled inside.

“It was striking to watch neighbors deliver food, water, and gasoline to help their neighbor stay in his car,” Nashville Councilman Bob Mendes, who witnessed part of the incident, wrote in a statement. “Having watched this play out, I have a new appreciation for…
