So much of modern administrative law is premised on the “presumption of regularity”—an assumption that, all things being equal, government generally acts in good faith and follows its own rules.

A President with this approach to the law makes it hard to defend that presumption. https://t.co/1WzziYnrFh
The American public opposes nearly every element of Trump's approach to immigration, from the underlying presumptions to the specific policies. Yet, he continues to thumb his nose at the public and does far worse to immigrants themselves. (@MarkMellman) https://t.co/wMtyRiiWU5

Dems hold almost 90% of all House seats w/ lmore immigrants than the national average & over 80% w/more minorities. 45/53 R Sens rep the 30 states w/smallest immigrant % in pop. Those same states were 26 of the 30 Trump won. GOP is barricading itself off from the changing US. https://t.co/USTWOYu4tx

In 2016, under President Obama, 10,786 Somali refugees arrived in the United States. Trump took office in 2017, and the number dropped to 2,770, followed by only 139 Somali refugee arrivals in 2018, and 141 thus far in 2019. https://t.co/DjOfoCC4xa

Trump’s assault on refugees is un-American. Turning our backs on those fleeing violence and harm means we’ve abandoned our moral leadership on the world stage.https://t.co/3lm3oEhyu5
