Don't say "birthing person."
Don't say "incarcerated person."
Don't say "the unhoused."
Don't say "chest feeding."
Don't say "centering.
Don't say "Latinx."

Trump literally posted the image on his own social media account...
This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the President’s misunderstanding.
