President Donald Trump’s major decisions on immigration this week have sparked both physical protests and social media firestorms. He also threatened to punish so-called “sanctuary” jurisdictions, which currently limit how much local law enforcement cooperates with federal deportation efforts. While many immigrants shared their coming to America stories this week via the hashtag #ImAlreadyHome, another popular hashtag appeared on Saturday: #WeTooAreAmerica. Actress Allison Scagliotti was one of the first to use the hashtag, asking others for their stories in the process of sharing her own. Others described the hardships their loved ones faced when coming to the U.S. ― and the success they had when they got here.
