Trump administration says they have terminated the Temporary Protected Person status and will deport 532,000 people currently living legally in this country. These people from Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela were sponsored here by US citizens and permanent residents to escape horrific conditions in their home countries. They are not criminals. They are causing no harm. And in many cases they are contributing members of the communities where they are living. Nothing remains for them in their home countries and their lives may be in danger if they return.
Also Friday Trump cancelled security clearance for Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton. There was no reason other than vengeance to do this and many others like General Miley and senior intelligence officers.
In addition to hapazard cutting of important government programs and picking a tarriff war with our friends and allies, II believe Trump enjoys revenge, meanness and cruelty. It is the mark of the man. He admires Elon Musk for the same reason. And many Republican legislators are enamored (or scared) of Trump for his cruelty. It is a sickness.
I hope there will be a big fat lawsuit specific to the Temporary Protected Persons. The action sounds like EX-POST-FACTO (persecution of legal status after the fact) to me. I hope Democrats will start calling out the insane meanness and cruelty of this man.
