In the realm of politics, the news of Donald Trump’s election to a second term as president has sent ripples across the nation. The Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS)/USA has taken this moment to voice their hopes for the incoming administration. They urge the new president to honor commitments to support refugees, a call that resonates deeply with many communities across the United States.
