Trump Administration's Immigration Policies

• 💔 Foreign students legally in the US have been targeted for speaking out against US foreign policy, and families have been torn apart.
• ⚠️ US citizen children, including one with cancer, have reportedly been deported, raising questions about America's standing as a beacon of hope.

Erosion of Due Process

• ⚖️ The actions taken are characterized as an assault on due process, a cornerstone of the American justice system.
• 🚫 The Department of Homeland Security is accused of acting as if the law does not apply to them.
• 🗣️ There is concern over the President floating the idea of sending American citizens to foreign prisons.

Call to Action

• ✊ The administration is seen as actively dismantling basic rights that are meant to protect everyone.
• 📢 Velázquez emphasizes the need to speak out and push back against these policies.
