SICKENING—Trump’s DHS just deported a surgeon from Brown—who is here legally on an H1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027, & committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon**, she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants.

Boycott the FIFA World Cup in the USA next year. Leave their arenas empty. Don’t spend your hard earned money in that country. If you want to watch the games come to Canada or go to Mexico, where you’ll be welcome and well treated.
