President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Wednesday calling for the construction of the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, threatening to strip "sanctuary" jurisdictions of federal funding and making most undocumented immigrants a priority for deportation. City leaders across the country vowed to resist Trump’s executive order, which strong-arm “sanctuary” jurisdictions into cooperating fully with his federal deportation efforts. The president is “in for one hell of a fight,” California state Sen. Scott Weiner (D), who represents San Francisco, said in a statement. However, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Giménez (R) on Thursday said his county would drop sanctuary policies. The county “intends to fully cooperate with the federal government,” he wrote in a memo.   Acts of Hate A Massachusetts man was charged with hate crimes after he threatened and kicked an airline worker at Kennedy International Airport who was wearing a hijab. He told her “Trump is here now” and “he will get rid of all of you.”  Take Action Contact your local representative by chatting with our Facebook Messenger bot here.   Acts of Love   Protesters flooded New York City’s Washington Square Park Wednesday night to protest an anticipated Muslim ban and to stand in support of immigrants and refugees.  Americans used the hashtag #NoBanNoWall this week to demonstrate solidarity with Muslims and immigrants on social media. “During the Holocaust, fear of the vulnerable killed many in my family. I refuse to let this happen again. #NoBanNoWall,” one person tweeted.
