Coincidentally, Trump is terrified of Yemeni refugees ..

“In 2010, President Obama directed the CIA to assassinate an American citizen in Yemen, Anwar al-Awlaki, despite the fact that he had never been charged with (let alone convicted of) any crime, and the agency successfully carried out that order a year later with a September 2011 drone strike.”
“Two weeks after the killing of Awlaki, a separate CIA drone strike in Yemen killed his 16-year-old American-born son, Abdulrahman, along with the boy’s 17-year-old cousin and several other innocent Yemenis.”
“In a hideous symbol of the bipartisan continuity of U.S. barbarism, Nasser al-Awlaki just lost another one of his young grandchildren to U.S. violence.”
“On Sunday, the Navy’s SEAL Team 6, using armed Reaper drones for cover, carried out a commando raid.”
“Reports from Yemen quickly surfaced that 30 people were killed, including 10 women and children. Among the dead: the 8-year-old granddaughter of Nasser al-Awlaki, who was also the daughter of Anwar Awlaki.”
Obama Killed a 16-year-old American in Yemen. Trump Just Killed his 8-year-old Sister.
The War on Terror framework continues to savage the world’s poorest civilians.
