Trump’s executive orders have blocked entrance to the country for thousands of Afghans, including those who worked with the U.S. military and their relatives. Two brothers hope answers come quickly for their sister and her husband, who they say are in danger.

@ProPublica

Trumpo and Maga have no sense of public service and have not a vague clue what it takes to commit to "military service" for one's country. Service, honor and sacrifice.......none of them have these qualitites

Pathetic cowards and a stain on our nation......
