Pramila Jayapal in Politico Magazine ‘Power list for the year 2018
Washington sources have stated that Indian American Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, a fast-rising Democratic star, has featured in the Politico magazine’s “Power List for the year 2018″ for having assumed the mantle of a House “leader of the resistance”. Accordingly Jayapal, 52, is in the fifth position and the only Indian American in the power list.
The report added “Jayapal, a fast-rising Democratic star and determined critic of President Donald Trump, has assumed the mantle of a House leader of the resistance”. Meanwhile her most recent drives are a legislative push back against Trump’s threats to end Temporary Protected Status for thousands of Haitians and Salvadorans by allowing them to apply for permanent residency if they can prove they would data-face extreme hardship if they return to their home countries.
Earlier Jayapal also wrote a letter to the Trump
administration in October demanding the termination of a new policy of social
media vetting of immigrants and American citizens.
