Less than 24 hours after Holocaust Remebrance Day, U.S. border officials at Philadelphia International Airport have begun implementing Donald Trump's illegal executive order to refuse entry to refugees from the Middle East. Today two Syrian refugee families, both in possession of visas and green cards, were denied entry and deported from PHL.
We will NOT be silent as human beings fleeing war and terror are denied sanctuary. Tomorrow we will gather at the PHL International Terminal A West (Arrivals) to voice our opposition and to call on all relevant federal, state and local government agencies to refuse compliance with the racist, inhumane, and illegitimate executive orders issuing from this shameful president.
