Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsWish me luck. I'm trying to keep a patient of mine from being deported.
I have visited with this patient for six years now. He's in his late sixties. He ran track and field for his country in the 1976 Olympics ( I won't say which country; a trip to the almanac could reveal his name.) and he's been homeless for about the last ten years. He's not a US citizen, and now the Trump government wants to deport him.
I wrote a letter just now disapproving him for overseas travel based on his medical condition. I'm hoping they will delay or cancel his deportation as a result. Be thinking good thoughts for my patient.

It's a disgrace what this hateful regime does to decent people.

(66,388 posts)I just wrote a letter. It's not like I'm standing in front of tanks. If ICE shows up at the door, I'll probably stand in front of them. But this will probably be played out in the courts.

Thank you for fighting for humanity.

(66,388 posts)Tacoma, near where I live, is also pretty welcoming to immigrants and those seeking asylum. It's only the Feds that we have to worry about.
