    These are the exact same conditions set by the administration before Trump’s withdrawal announcement. In other words, the troops stay indefinitely. Except now everyone else is confused and already making other plans.

    The President will make sure any withdrawal from Syria will be done in a fashion to ensure: 1) ISIS is permanently destroyed. 2) Iran doesn’t fill in the back end, and 3) our Kurdish allies are protected.

    This is not the only time Kelly lied to the press/public about what was happening internally. Folks may tell themselves there were good reasons for doing so at the time, but it was still lying.

    It’s remarkable that Kelly now admits the chaos of travel ban implementation, thanks to Stephen Miller & Co, when he previously lied to the public and press. The reporting, it turns out, was spot on. Kelly was lying.

    Trump is also wrong here. The father of the "young girl," whose name was Jakelin Caal, has vehemently denied that he didn't give his daughter water. He says he made sure she was fed & had water.

    ...children in question were very sick before they were given over to Border Patrol. The father of the young girl said it was not their fault, he hadn’t given her water in days. Border Patrol needs the Wall and it will all end. They are working so hard & getting so little credit!

    In the Trump era, Muslim women have unprecedented visibility in U.S. consumer culture, but, as writes, the “hijab fetish” often flattens American-Muslim identities, erases some segments of Muslim society, and perpetuates Islamophobic tropes.
