Birthday: Rep. James O'Day
Quote of the Day
“If the Trump administration’s sudden assault on thousands of foreign students legally studying at Harvard seems unprecedented, it’s because it is. If the abrupt abrogation of temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans legally living and working in the United States seems unprecedented, it’s because it is. If the sudden arrests and deportations of law-abiding immigrants checking in as ordered at government offices seems unprecedented, it’s because it is. If the deportations of other immigrants without anything like due process and basically in defiance of court orders to prisons in third countries seems unprecedented, it’s because it is.”
The Bulwark condemns the Trump administration's immigration actions as historically unprecedented, legally dubious, and profoundly cruel, causing significant harm to individuals and the country alike.
