Ilhan Omar came to the US when she was 13. Trump's goons are now trying to find mistakes her dad made in their immigration paperwork in an apparent attempt to denaturalize her. Her dad died of COVID over six years ago. These people are monsters with no boundaries. They must end up in jail.

Trump's foreign policy is not isolationist. On the contrary, his ideologues want to build an international empire run by far-right political movements who serve American crypto, mineral and tech companies, many with links to the president.

Shameful. We owe them so much.
“We gave it all. When we got to ground zero we felt so much fear. Oh the fear we felt! No one ever asked to check our immigration status. Oh no, they treated us like we were real important back then. It was: 'Go in Lucelly. Go Lucelly. Get in there.'"
They cleaned up ground zero. Now many are hiding from ICE
After 9/11, thousands of rescue and cleanup crews went to work at ground zero. They were exposed to toxic debris and experienced psychological trauma. Today, many say they live in fear of deportation.
