Reducing the cap on refugee admissions to 7,500 in no way meets the urgency and need of the current moment. This will have immense humanitarian impacts on the children, women and men who are fleeing persecution and who we have a responsibility to protect.

Here is an image of the crowd of people that chased a dozen ICE agents out of Columbia Heights yesterday. I don’t see one “elderly white hippie” there.
I do see a wide variety of ages, genders, and races; DC residents united in disgust at what Miller is cheering on.

Interesting that Trump never ordered the National Guard to quell the J6 attack on our nation’s capitol, never called it a “riot” or “rebellion” and never labeled the protesters as “insurrectionists.” He simply sat back and enjoyed watching the J6ers on Fox News — and eventually pardoned them.
