The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) Calls on Elected Leaders to Seek Higher Moral Ground Following President Trump's "Go Back" Tweets
 

[Alexandria, VA] Today, Vera Bumpers, President of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), issued the following statement regarding a series of tweets from President Donald Trump that targeted four minority Democratic congresswomen:

 

"NOBLE is deeply concerned by recent tweets from President Trump that call on four Democratic congresswomen to "go back" to where they came from. While everyone is entitled to their own opinions and to practice freedom of speech, targeting people based on their religious or racial identity should be out of bounds. Like every other American, immigrants are an integral part of the fabric of our society and of what makes our country great. Moving forward, we encourage all elected leaders to rise above their political differences and seek moral high ground for the benefit of all Americans."
