The NOEM Act fixes that. ICE is not above the law - and if its officers break the law, they should be held accountable in court,

The card which is, as the name suggests, gold prominently features a stern-looking Trump; he is flanked by the Statue of Liberty and a bald eagle, while the American flag is in the bottom left corner. It also has the presidential seal in the right upper corner, and is emblazoned with Trump Gold Card next to Trump's mug, in case those cardholders forget who came up with the idea, apparently.

Powell risks the Fed's inflation-fighting credibility if the weakness in employment is due more to AI and curbs in immigration than weak demand,

I find it insulting to see people breaking into the UK and immediately being put up in free accomodation, receiving allowances, working illegally and accessing free education while I have done everything the right way.

Everything in life is just the fragile result of something that could have been so easily different. None of this would've been possible had my parents not emigrated out of China. My parents were the first class of students after Mao's death that were allowed to leave the country to pursue higher degrees. My sister was born in Australia. I would not have been born if they had stayed in China.

In the Politico interview, Trump said: I inherited a mess. I inherited a total mess. Prices were at an all-time high when I came in. He also told Politico: If you think of gasoline a gallon, they had it at $4.50, almost $5.00. You go to some of the states, you had it at $6.00. We hit, uh, three states two days ago, $1.99 a gallon.

A Downing Street spokesperson declined to criticise President Trump's comments, saying Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer had strong relationships with both men. Asked why No 10 would not defend the mayor against the US president's remarks, the spokesperson said: "I do not accept that. As I have said, the prime minister has a strong relationship with the mayor of London."

... and I hate to see that happen. This is one of the great places in the world, and they're allowing people just to come in, unchecked, unvetted.

La Quema del Diablo (Burning of the Devil) is a centuries-old yearly tradition celebrated by Guatemalans on December 7, viewed as a way to rid themselves of evil as they officially kick off the Christmas season. As part of this year's celebrations in Guatemala's capital city, a giant devil sculpture was lit ablaze along with what looked like Trump's head made out of papier-mache in his hands.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered the FBI to compile a list of what the Justice Department is calling "domestic terrorist" organizations. Last week, Bondi sent a memo to all federal prosecutors and law enforcement agencies targeting a wide range of people, including those who hold what she calls, quote, "extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology," "anti-Americanism," "anti-capitalism" or "anti-Christianity," unquote.

What medal did Mary Peters win in the 1972 Olympics? How many Scottish ski resorts are there? Where was Florence Nightingale born? Until I got these questions as exasperated screenshots from my husband, I had no idea, like any normal Briton (it's gold, five and Italy, apparently). They came from an app he downloaded to revise for his Life in the UK test, a prerequisite for applying for citizenship.

The Supreme Court strikes down the Voting Rights Act yesterday, DOMA today and clears the way for gay marriage in California. In Austin, Democrats run out the clock on the Texas abortion law. Weiner edges ahead in polls on New York's mayoral race. The immigration bill looks set to pass the Senate this week - the House, who knows? Later, we look ahead on politics with Political Junkie regulars Anna Greenberg and Vin Weber.

President Donald Trump has promised not only that America will be 'great again' but also that it will be ' healthy again,' ' wealthy again,' ' beautiful again,' and-crucially-' affordable again.' Now, as the country faces persistent inflation, a housing crisis, and rising prices on consumer goods, he claims that affordability is nothing more than a 'con job,' an opportunistic buzzword leveraged by a rival party. 'The word affordability is a Democrat scam,' he said during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.

A new video posted December 5 remixes Carpenter's Saturday Night Live promo shoot with Hernández. It takes Carpenter saying, "I think I might need to arrest someone for being too hot," and replaces "too hot" with a robovoice saying "illegal." Hernández playfully volunteers, and then the whole thing devolves into a hacky automated supercut of ICE and Border Patrol ops set to Gucci Mane's "I Get the Bag."

"Grandma came here as an illegal immigrant," Brittney reminded her mother, referring to Gloria's mother.

What happens if it's incorporated into the electoral debate? Two studies published simultaneously on Thursday in Nature and Science have tested this and discovered that it can influence the opinions of between 1.5% and 25% of the voters analyzed. This effectiveness, according to the studies, is greater than that of traditional campaign ads and highly relevant considering that a quarter of voters decide their vote in the week before the polls open.

Donald Trump's back-to-back tirades this week against Somali immigrants in Minnesota, many of whom are U.S. citizens, brought into the open the kind of virulence that, during his first term, the President mostly tried to keep behind closed doors. "Their country stinks, and we don't want them in our country," Trump said on Tuesday, during a Cabinet meeting. On Wednesday, after an event at the White House, he called Somalia "a hellhole" and complained that Somalis have "destroyed our country."

Almost 200 adult asylum-seekers were placed in Tusla children's accommodation over the last three years before it was learned they were over 18.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he did not want Somali immigrants in the U.S., saying residents of the war-ravaged eastern African country are too reliant on U.S. social safety net and add little to the United States. Trump's contemptuous description of the entire immigrant community is the latest example of him pointedly attacking the Somali diaspora in the United States. Somalis have been coming to Minnesota and other states, often as refugees, since the 1990s. The president made no distinction between citizens and non-citizens.

"Licenses to operate a massive, 80,000-pound truck are being issued to dangerous foreign drivers - often times (sic) illegally. This is a direct threat to the safety of every family on the road,"

The Trump administration has given the boot to eight New York City immigration judges working on cases at 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE agents have seized immigrants for months, per a new published report.

Children who arrive in the UK on small boats could be searched to check if they are concealing phone sim cards in their mouths under new Home Office rules. New measures will allow immigration enforcement officials to seize phones at the border if it is believed they contain useful intelligence about people-smugglers. Officers will have the power to make new arrivals remove an outer coat, jacket or gloves at UK ports to search for devices.

President Donald Trump said on Sunday he would "absolutely" denaturalize certain Americans, revoking the citizenship of some "criminals," if he had the power to do so. "We have criminals that came into our country and they were naturalized maybe through [President Joe] Biden or somebody that didn't know what they were doing," Trump said on Sunday in answer to a reporter's question. He added, "If I have the power to do it -- I'm not sure that I do, but if I do -- I would denaturalize, absolutely."

The country needs migrants: to build houses; to work on the MetroLink (if it ever gets started); to fill vacancies in our health and social-care services. We also have a solemn obligation to offer refuge to those genuinely fleeing persecution. The greater the increase in population, the more pressure is put on the system, increasing the need for further immigration to plug the gaps. The boulder keeps rolling down the hill.
