Trump’s abhorrent and dehumanizing words

Team, By now you may have heard about some of the most recent hateful, racist, and disturbing comments former President Trump made about immigrants. About two weeks ago, he stated that immigrants “are not people”. When the news hit, I joined a coalition of advocacy…
