Jonathan Cohn: Why tRump’s Attack on Refugees Could Hurt Grandma. It’s immigrants from ‘sh*thole’ countries who care of our #elderly, and nobody’s lining up to take their place.

I really like helping these people and it reminds me how vulnerable we all are. I do it with as much heart as I can."--Maryse, home #healthcare worker

Jennifer Rubin: Undaunted from the Bench. Judge Ana Reyes calls out #tRump regime #racism.

"What followed from U.S. District Court Judge Ana C. Reyes for the District of Columbia was a literary and legal masterpiece using Noem’s own vicious racism against her in a case challenging the revocation of TPS status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians refugees."

Judge Ana Reyes did not have to go far to discover Homeland Security Secretary #KristiNoem’s animus toward #Haitians. She just had to read her social media feed. “I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that’s been flooding our nation with killers, leeches and entitlement junkies,” Noem wrote on X in December. She added, “WE DON’T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.”

Reyes, a Federal District Court judge in Washington, cited Noem’s post at the very beginning of a blistering opinion issued Monday night preventing the administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, at least for now. That status was due to expire on Tuesday, rendering more than 350,000 Haitians who are now legally living and working in America #undocumented overnight.

“Kristi Noem has a First Amendment right to call immigrants killers, leeches, entitlement junkies, and any other inapt name she wants,” Reyes stated. “Secretary Noem, however, is constrained by both our Constitution and the APA to apply faithfully the facts to the law in implementing the TPS program. The record to-date shows she has yet to do that.”
