With reports circulating that President Trump will sign an executive order halting visas for people traveling to the U.S. from a number of Middle East countries — including Iraq — the Department of Defense when ahead and tweeted this story on Baghdad-born Cpl. Ali J. Mohammed and how he fled with his family at the age of 16 to the United States, eventually becoming a U.S. Marine:
From refugee to #Marine. @USMC Cpl Ali J. Mohammed takes the fight to the doorstep of those who cast his family out.https://t.co/oSXWGrzsL7 pic.twitter.com/UVlWsaESic

This has folks asking questions, especially in light of yesterday’s National Park tweet-protest against Trump:

The entire presidency will be government departments subtweeting the president. https://t.co/9hjTEvLiuy

Is the DOD throwing shade at Trump & his admin? I think so. https://t.co/pzSnryZ5Y4

Now we’ll see if there’s any reaction from team Trump.
