Its really ironic that Trump almost started a war claiming to defend the life of an immigrant
Not only an immigrant - a Muslim - Trump and his MAGATS don't give a rat's ass about Mr. Hamid
So after wanting to ban muslims, refugees, immigrants. Trump wants us to believe that he wanted to defend the life of one? Mr. Hamid became a naturalized citizen.

In a statement, U.S. Rep. Doris Matsui (D-Sacramento) said she was heartbroken over news of Hamids death.
Our U.S. military has relied on the expertise and professionalism of linguists in almost every mission around the globe, especially in Iraq, she said. Nawres served and sacrificed for our nation, and we all owe him a debt of gratitude. My thoughts and prayers are with Nawres widow and children at this time.
Hamids family belongs to a growing community of Iraqi immigrants in Sacramento and across California. Hamids widow told the Sacramento Bee that they came to the U.S. in 2011, when she was pregnant with their eldest son.
More than 10,000 Iraqi refugees settled in the state during the eight-year period from 2008 to 2016, the majority of them in Sacramento and San Diego. But the migration rate has slowed as the Trump administration tightened its restrictions on refugee admissions.
