Abdullah Hassan is a two year old boy on life support in Oakland. His mother, a Yemeni national, can’t be with her son because of Trump’s racist #MuslimBan. This is beyond cruel. His mother should be granted a waiver to see her dying son: https://t.co/zQQrpyZzZ2 #ForAbdullah

Our video of BP agents destroying aid supplies for migrants has been getting a lot of traction this week. We have noticed many media outlets falsely reporting that the footage is old. The video contains footage spanning 7 years–from 2010 to 2017. https://t.co/u3WU3wZVcG

Abdullah is dying, but the #MuslimBan is preventing his mom Saima from entering the U.S. to say goodbye. The Ban is continuing to tear families apart. Demand that @StateDept @SecPompeo @USEmbassyCairo grant Saima a waiver: https://t.co/sXQsRZTA35 #ForAbdullah #NoMuslimBanEver pic.twitter.com/5WfeGA3EXh

Found an eyewitness who saw the shooting of Jazmine Barnes and chased down the shooter in his car.

Listen to me.

If you know this murderer, turn him now before he gets you killed or causes you to be an accessory to murder.

We will find him soon. https://t.co/uRklhaitOx
