Elation, Concern Greet Trump's Asian American Cabinet Choices

Mee Moua, president of Asian Americans Advancing Justice/AAJC, pointed out: “Given the incoming administration’s penchant for naming anti-immigrant and anti-civil rights individuals to high-level positions in the new administration, Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) will not be mollified by the selection of Nikki Haley for U.N. Ambassador and Elaine Chao for Secretary of the Department of Transportation, neither of whom have a track record of supporting the interests of AAPIs and other disenfranchised communities.”
