I hope all the folks standing behind Trump feel real good about being the backdrop for the racist ravings of a jerk.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

They’re defiling Great Canadian literature. First of all, Franklin is Canadian, not American, and we don’t terrorize people. Second, Franklin would never hurt anyone. Paulette Bourgeois needs to sue.

Franklin the Turtle was created by Canadians Paulette Bourgeois (writer) and Brenda Clark (illustrator) in the 1980s.
The books were written to teach children about self-respect, friendship, courage, honesty, empathy and overcoming fears.

This is infuriating on so many levels, but partly because it ignores Congressional intent to penalize immigrants who followed the rules. And partly because these are people who have done nothing wrong beyond trying to negotiate a broken system.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
