This is political pogrom where the sitting president of the United States targeted his own constituents out of pure strategic racism based on nothing but racist lies.
Last month, SCOTUS told the Trump admin it could end temporary protected status immigration programs. Today 350,000 people, mostly Haitians lose status & elderly & disabled Americans they are caregivers for will suffer along with them.
