The Trump administration has moved with lightning speed to roll out the president’s immigration agenda, effectively closing off the US southern border to asylum seekers, severely limiting who’s eligible to enter the United States and laying the groundwork to swiftly deport migrants already in the country.

Within hours of taking office, President Donald Trump signed a spate of executive actions that have already had wide-ranging impacts for people both inside and outside the US. By Wednesday, incoming refugee flights were canceled, troops were moving to the border, federal authorities were given permission to arrest people in or near schools and churches, and the pool of undocumented immigrants eligible for quick deportation without a judicial hearing was expanded.

Behind the scenes, federal agencies, like the Justice Department, were also standing up their immigration crackdown, firing people in key leadership roles who oversee the nation’s immigration courts and threatening to prosecute state and local officials who resist the administration’s plans.

“They were telegraphing this from the very beginning,” said Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors stricter immigration policies. “It’s delivering on promises made during the campaign and … continuing the work they left off four years ago.”

Over the course of the week, some of the key policies and efforts that Trump launched in his first term were resurrected, including expanding who’s eligible for a fast-track deportation procedure and largely cutting off the refugee resettlement program. He also moved to reinstate the “Remain in Mexico,” program, requiring migrants to stay in Mexico while they go through their immigration proceedings in the United States. The policy requires Mexico’s buy-in.

Late Tuesday, the State Department notified resettlement partners that previously scheduled flights for refugees would be canceled and processing would be suspended, effectively shuttering the program.

“Refugees go through one of the most rigorous vetting processes in the world, and many are now seeing their travel canceled just days, or even hours, before they were set to begin their new lives in the United States. It’s utterly heartbreaking,” said Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, president and CEO of Global Refuge.

With refugee admissions suspended and the border largely sealed off to asylum seekers, there are few, if any, avenues available to people seeking refuge in the United States.

White House border czar Tom Homan told CNN’s Dana Bash Tuesday that targeted enforcement operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement were already happening, but this time, he argued, agents have greater latitude.

Biden administration enforcement priorities that Trump officials said set up too many hurdles to arresting individual were rescinded. A new directive was issued allowing ICE to conduct enforcement actions in or near sensitive areas like schools and churches.


Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest. The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense,” acting Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman said in a statement.

But Anna Gallagher, executive director of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, said the policy change sends “a chilling message to our immigrant communities and create an environment of fear that will prevent people from seeking the support they need and accessing their rights.”

Officials also expanded a procedure to speed up deportations to include undocumented immigrants anywhere in the US who can’t prove they’ve lived in the US continuously for two years or more.

The fast-track deportation procedure, known as “expedited removal,” allows immigration authorities to remove an individual without a hearing before an immigration judge. In doing so, the administration is provided greater latitude in quickly deporting undocumented immigrants.

While the Trump administration has focused much of its effort on interior enforcement, troops are being mobilized to the US-Mexico border to step up the military presence there, according to officials familiar with the matter. They are expected to perform mostly logistical and bureaucratic tasks there, assisting the Border Patrol.

Even more active duty troops are expected to be deployed to the border in the coming weeks and months, one of the officials said, with this first wave laying the groundwork for a larger military footprint.

It isn’t clear whether the troops will be armed. But none of the active duty troops are authorized to perform any kind of law enforcement role, like making arrests or seizing drugs, or engage with migrants other than to help transport them to and around different migrant facilities.

That mission could change as Trump escalates his border plans: The president says he that he will decide within 90 days whether to invoke the Insurrection Act at the US-Mexico border, which would allow him to use active duty troops domestically for law enforcement.
Tell the lady to take her heartbreaking message and shove it right up the rapists ass.
 
Man Grok is pretty awesome.
That is a statement not related to post

How is Trump going to so very quickly stop the wars and the military conflicts and chaos and the 'need' to have so many military bases around the globe and the 'need' to send so much military and foreign aid to so manydifferent countries?
I'm GLAD YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION.
First, he's gonna absolutely GUT the monetary system that's been utilized since 1913 to enslave much of the world via a fiat currency and replace it with a new currency actually based on something.

Second, he's gonna expose and take out many of the key members of the CIA/MIC/ICS so that their banks and orgs around the globe can't adequately function.
Asset forfeiture plays a key role in this.
And it's poetic justice since they set up asset forfeiture as part of their schemes.
Third, he's gonna END the shipping of billions and billions of US wealth and resources overseas as 'foreign' and 'military' aid.
Once the CIA/MIC/ICS Forever Wars shell game is exposed, there will be NO NEED to send 'aid' to these thieves who've been stealing/laundering most of it.
Fourth, a lot of the people facilitating the Forever Wars & the massive amounts of theft/money laundering internationally are going to end up being indicted, tried and executed.

Dead people tend not to cause new problems for anyone.

Not just in the US, either


Really?! It drew from Brian Cates? Has that guy been right about anything outside of small stuff?
 
It doesn't look like the driver shot the fuck out of Kennedy?
I didn't dig in any orgins or compare to what has always been watched.
Not to me and not from a position of any accuracy. It looks like he’s pulling a gun in response to the bang maybe. How could he accurately aim the weapon (a pistol) while holding it next to his chest. I was expecting to see an outstretched arm. Yeah I don’t what that video proves about the driver.

I’ve got a gun that you can pull to create a bang

I did tell her I’d cut it after the season. I also told her I couldn’t cut it before then because if I did and we lost I’d blame myself. Like any good fan would do, might I add.

Now that we have the title, I’d hate to be the reason these young men don’t repeat. That would be selfish to doom all their hard work and sacrifice. Technically I never told her which season either.

Should definitely consider Texas is about whack you in the shoe. Again.

That is a very astute point you're making. I'm calming my nuts.
 
Interesting write up on James Forrestall

 
I've never heard any of this before. I graduated w a degree in history and agree that Isreal was doing everything to get the bomb.
