Refugees Detained at U.S Airports

President Trump’s executive order closing the nation’s borders to refugees was put into immediate effect Friday night Many of the refugees were already en route to the US before Trump's order was signed. Some of those detained were Iraqis who had worked for the US Military in Iraq. The order bans refugees from 7 Muslim countries.

I'm a little too shaken to craft a good post, but there's also a recent This American Life episode detailing the difficulties of bringing those who helped us in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to safety.

This Twitter account is a good reminder of the consequences of turning away refugees.
