This horrible woman is a genocidal Zionist who used the NYPD to go after protesters.
This is extremely fucked up. Everyone who voted for this man needs to stand up and demand that this shit doesn’t stand.

The Trump admin is planning to say that being from Cuba (or any other travel ban country) is a "significant negative factor" that could lead to a denial of any of several discretionary immigration benefits (like green cards).
Seriously; national origin discrimination as official government policy.
