Sheryl Sandberg leans into Trump with pro-immigrant Facebook post
Sheryl Sandberg is the latest tech giant to remind Donald Trump that immigration is integral to the fabric of the United States.
Sandberg penned an essay (on Facebook, where else?) recalling the bravery of her great grandmother, a Lithuanian refugee who landed at Ellis Island in 1889. "If Channa had not taken that difficult journey, I would not be here today – my family would almost certainly have perished in the concentration camps of World War II."
Sandberg goes on to call out Trump's immigration ban and the damage it has already done in the United States.

The Lean In author goes on to address some of the ways the ban is "particularly unforgiving for women." She cites ways undocumented women in our country are already a vulnerable population, including lack of access to education and how the fear of deportation prevents them from reporting rape.
"How we treat some of the most vulnerable people on the planet says a lot about who we are," writes Sandberg.
