The 21-year-old Fifth Harmony singer, whose parents are both of Cuban descent, tweeted a screenshot Monday afternoon to share her thoughts about the DACA repeal with President Donald Trump… and her 3.25 million followers.

You and your squad of Republican elite/cowards are truly sick humans. Pardoning criminals and criminalizing the vulnerable. #SaveDACA”
