Features from last week! 🖋️ A pen held to paper – Features from last week! 🖋️

U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar is just the newest victim of President Donald Trump’s relentless attack against citizens who don’t fit his ideas of what a ‘real American’ looks like. Homeland Security raiding Omar’s home, accusing her of committing immigration fraud and threatening to deport her not only reeks of this administration’s bias against immigrants but also of the Islamophobia that has plagued this nation for far too long.
