Letters to the Editor: After the New Orleans attack, the same old anti-immigrant behavior

LA Times  

Police patrol the scene of a New Year’s attack in New Orleans on Jan. 1. To the editor: In the aftermath of an American driving a truck into a New Year’s crowd in New Orleans and killing 14 revelers, our once and future president is at it again, attempting to convince his audience that the American was an immigrant. It’s shaping up to be a long four years, but at least it will be Trump’s last four years as president. To the editor: The New Year’s attack in New Orleans, in which a truck was driven into a crowd, killing 14 and injuring many others, appears to have been motivated by support for Islamic State.
