The Immigration Act of 1924 helped keep out Italian immigrants, who were considered non-white. Dino Paul Crocetti changed his name to Dean Martin for his career. Frank Sinatra refused to change his name. Here he is reminding kids what it means to be accepting of differences…and not act like Nazis.

SCOOP-2: Isabela Herrera donated $2.5m to MAGA Inc. on 12/31/2024.
At the time, her father, a Venezuelan-Italian banker, was being prosecuted for bribing Puerto Rico's governor.
In July, Trump's DOJ authorized a misdemeanor plea deal, overruling career prosecutors who had pushed a harsher sentence
