On MLK Day a father and husband from Lincoln Park MI was deported for no good reason.

On 1/16 in Kalamazoo a doctor who came here at 5 was arrested. He came here from Poland. He does not speak polish.

A man from Albania has taken refuge in a Downtown Detroit church. He has 2 sons and his wife is in a wheelchair & has MS. He is her care taker.

I am so saddened at how we have become under trump.
