It pulls them out of isolation,” said Michael Hajarizadeh, who represents the vets as a public defender. Many have post-traumatic stress, but the common thread is substance abuse, said Hajarizadeh, who himself is an Army veteran of the Afghanistan war.Bourgeois looked healthy and confident and wore a radiant smile as she accepted the coin on March 7 and shook Love’s hand.

The lawsuit accuses Trump of an “unconstitutional attempt” to compel Oregon to enforce federal immigration policies.Furthermore, the administration is violating the separation of powers by invading Congress’ spending authority, the lawsuit says.

Ahhh No, no one is caught in the middle. OR prioritize immigrates over its citizens.

1. Reallocate the money distribution to vets over sanctuary expenditures. 2. Remember how public school funds were withheld from districts refusing to implement Michelle Obama's (not elected) horrid lunch program. 3. Which works better? This program or funding illegals?

Disgusting that some officials in our country won’t enforce federal laws!

The President of the United States is the political face of a domestic terrorist movement. Contemplate that for five minutes.

This is so sad !!! Our Veterans must be protected !!!! M
