    When I was head of the DOJ Civil Rights Division under President Obama, we actually fought for the civil rights of all Americans. We cannot allow Donald Trump to turn our federal government into an agent of discrimination.

    This is what the American dream looks like.

    23 years ago, from a refugee camp in Kenya, my father and I arrived at an airport in Washington DC. Today, we return to that same airport on the eve of my swearing in as the first Somali-American in Congress. 🙏🏾
