Afghans and Trump

February 10th, 2025

The following letter from me was published by the Capital Times today. The Capital Times is the main newspaper for Madison, Wisconsin and the surrounding area.

“One of the very first executive orders signed by President Donald Trump was to stop the flow of refugees into the United States.

Included in that population of refugees were a large number of Afghans, people who had been our country’s friends and allies for 20 years. Clearly, Trump has the authority to keep refugees from entering the U.S., but these people at least should be allowed to come here.

It is shameful for America to ban Afghans who sacrificed almost everything to help us.”
