I take this personally as you do. Many of the victims were almost certainly moved to New Zealand under the IOM operations I led resettling refugees from Afghanistan in the 1980s although I didn't personally didn't meet any of them.

It is possible that I met some of the Vietnamese that Trump is trying to repatriate to Vietnam against the treaty we signed and international law.

I have family members that are TPS holders and in-laws that are Muslims.

We cannot allow our spirits to sag. Be resilient.

We must work to defeat every Republican in 2020 and if Trump is re-elected then we must start making preparations to take at risk migrants into our homes a la Anne Frank.

Contact your local mosque, stop by and share your compassion with them one on one.
