On Monday Donald Trump lashed out at Democrats again after negotiations for border security hit a new roadblock. One reason the talks have stalled is that congressional Democrats now want to limit the number of beds available to hold immigrants who have been arrested by Trump’s border patrol officers.
A new document obtained by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) reveals that Trump cut nearly $10 million from FEMA's budget and gave it to ICE for more migrant detention centers.
A new poll has found that calls to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a losing issue For Democrats this election year. The poll found that just one-fourth of Democrats surveyed support eliminating the much-aligned agency. ICE got massive amounts of unfavorable publicity after enforcing the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy of arresting undocumented adults crossing the U.S.-Mexico border and then separating immigrant children from their parents.
In a wild morning tweet storm President Donald Trump complained about Democrats who are “weak on crime,” the Fake News, the infestation of MS-13 gangs, unfair trade deals, “Crazy Maxine Waters,” and Nancy Pelosi. And as if that wasn’t enough, he also said that if it wasn’t for him the U.S. would now be at war with North Korea, and “all of Asia is thrilled.”
The Trump White House is using their official Twitter account to make false accusations and harass Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA).
Lately a lot of people have said they are unhappy with the U.S. agency called ICE (which stands for Immigration and Customs Enforcement). This is mainly because President Donald Trump has put ICE in the very difficult position of having to enforce his zero tolerance immigration policy, arresting all adults who cross the U.S. border without proper documentation, and taking away any children who are with them.
Before the recent controversies over Donald Trump’s zero tolerance and family separation policies at the U.S. border, most Americans had never heard of an agency called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Now, however, ICE is well known and quite notorious, and is being blamed for implementing Trump’s draconian immigration policies.
A public defense attorney who is handling immigration cases in Texas said the government prosecutors have no answers for parents separated from their children at the border, and no answers for judges presiding over the cases either.
The United States government may be facing massive numbers of lawsuits over the new policy of separating children from parents who are arrested by U.S. Border Patrol. This is because not only may the act of separation give rise to legal liability, but there may be additional liability if the parents are not reunited with their children on a timely basis.
Joe Scarborough used to be a Republican Congressman from Florida, but now the co-host of the popular MSNBC show Morning Joe is one of President Donald Trump’s strongest critics.
On Friday, Scarborough lambasted Trump, Jeff Sessions and immigration enforcement officials for their new policies and practices used in dealing with undocumented immigrants entering the United States from Mexico.
While mass deportation of people based on race or ethnicity may appear to be more “humane” the objective is the same: it’s about destroying the community in whole or in part.
The immigrant community is on high alert as the new president's deportation force begins to take shape.
