The U.S. failed refugees during the Holocaust. Trump’s Libya plan would too

The fate of the St. Louis ship in 1939 serves as a stark reminder of our global failure to act compassionately, leaving hundreds of Jewish passengers to face unimaginable horrors during the Holocaust. Today, despite international treaties, migrants are being sent to countries like Libya and Rwanda, where human rights abuses abound, mirroring the moral failures of decades past. It is time to stand united against this disregard for those in need of safety, recognizing that our world was built on a foundation of compassion but now shows consistent disregard for those seeking protection.
