In 2016, an 18-year old Muslim woman, Yasmin Seweid, falsely reported that three white men screaming "Donald Trump," calling her a "terrorist" had attacked her on a Manhattan subway and grabbed her hijab.

The Legislature is entirely justified in making clear that the courts can only adjudicate a foreclosure action when the party bringing the action has a stake in the matter.
