“In particular, [Sasha] Kramer’s action was a response to the administration’s recent decision to end protections afforded Haitian refugees living in the U.S. under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program as well as eye-witness reports that Trump referred to Haiti, as well as other nations, as “shithole countries” during a White House meeting earlier this month, writes Jon Queally for Common Dreams.
