Here’s how the #TrumpAdministration likes to “celebrate" anniversaries and global days of recognition. A thread.
Last year on #WorldRefugeeDay, 6/20/19, a day internationally observed and dedicated to raising awareness of the situation of refugees throughout the world, CBP announced that they were at capacity + zero asylum seekers were processed at the San Ysidro POE.
This year on the one year anniversary of the human rights dumpster fire that is #MPP, @DHSgov decided to “celebrate” by proudly announcing that it was extending the class to include Brazilians. #MPP originally meant for Spanishing-speaking Central Americans has resulted in . .
thousands of people being denied legal right to asylum+ being sent back to MX where thousands have been kidnapped, raped, tortured, robbed . . . now imagine being returned to some of the most dangerous cities in the world + not even speaking the language.
Lastly, to mark the 3yr anniversary of the #MuslimBan, the Trump administration expanded it to include 6 new countries. Countless more families separated because of unchecked +deeply harmful fearmongering meant to convince us POC are dangerous criminals.
