On the heels of the decisions to also end TPS for Nicaraguans and Haitians, this is part of the administration’s continuum of cruelty.

Under existing law, the 2018 state primary election would be held on Tuesday, September 18, which coincides with the important Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. If there is a conflict with a religious holiday, state law requires Secretary of State Bill Galvin to move the primary to a date within seven days of the original September 18 – giving Galvin a choice of the 15 days from Sept. 4 until Sept. 18 to hold the election. A logical choice would be to hold the election the week before on Tuesday, September 11, but that would create another problem because that date coincides with the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah.
