I want to repeat: Green card holders were handcuffed, their social media was reviewed, and they were asked their views on Trump

J.K. Rowling? @jk_rowling
When I worked for Amnesty International in the 80s, these were the kind of stories told by political prisoners in dictatorships.

Border agents are searching refugees Facebook accounts to ascertain their religious and political beliefs, according to Mana Yegani of the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
Ms. Yegani told The Intercept that some of those she has consulted despite having valid visas have been interrogated by border agents about their political beliefs before being allowed into the country.
These are people that are coming in legally. They have jobs here and they have vehicles here, she said. Just because Trump signed something at 6pm yesterday, things are coming to a crashing halt. Its scary.
Trita Parsi, head of the Iranian-American Council, also reported that green card holders are being subjected to political interrogations.

For fuck's sake, Bill Clinton was impeached for getting caught getting a blow job and being an idiot. Trump is wiping his ass with the good name of the country and overreaching his authority in massive and destabilizing ways (for home AND abroad citizens and immigrants). This shit must NOT stand!!!
