My biggest worry in re ICE abducting people.....

....is the safety of my special needs adult daughter, who does like to take the bus and walk to local supermarket.

She says "Mom, I'm not brown. I'm safe"

But she COULD be singled out as a person with disabilities.

Stephen Miller has plans for those with disabilities. Work camps. Etc.

How do we protect people with disabilities from monsters like Miller?

She and are both older, white, American citizens.

But we both have family members who are different ethnicity, religion, health status, disability, etc.

We are worried what will happen to them.

Both my friend and I had fathers who fought valiantly in WWII so that
their children and grandchildren could live free and in peace.
We are glad they are not alive to see what has happened in the US and what could
happen to their families.

people with disabilities (along with his numerous other prejudices). Let's stop Trump's campaign against immigrants before it extends to other groups that were targeted by Hitler.

The grandson has an intellectual deficit.

He works in the public and if evil Miller decides to go after the disabled my grandson would already be a known entity.

I hate what is going on.
