Trump rule would allow unlimited detention of immigrant families – live | American News

Donald Trump just spoke as he left the White House heading for Kentucky.

Asked about his remarks that Jewish Americans who voted for Democrats were "Either a total lack of knowledge or disloyalty" – a long-standing antisemitic trope – Trump doubled his statement.

"If you vote for a Democrat, you are very disloyal to the Jewish people and very disloyal to Israel," Trump told reporters.

Trump also repeated his insults against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other members of the "squad". The four women are "anti-Semites" who are "against Israel," Trump said.

According to a new poll, half of Trump's voters would at least partially blame him if the economy headed south.

Morning Consult found that 42% of Trump voters in 2016 would deem the president "partially responsible" for a recession, while 7% would deem him "solely responsible".

Of all voters, 69% said they would consider Trump to be at least partially responsible for a recession and 28% of them that it would be the only way to do so. only responsible.

This is not good news for Trump, as the economy continues to look fragile. A number of economists have warned that the chances of a recession are increasing. The worrying "yield curve" has been reversed, resulting in every recession of the past 60 years.

Here is an explanation of my colleague's economy, performance curves and recessions Dominic Rushe.

In depressing news: Idaho was forced to change signage on children's buses after angry drivers started tracking vehicles filled with migrant children.

According to the Idaho policy officer: "The Idaho Community Council plans to remove and conceal signage on buses used to transport children of farm workers and Head Start participants to the area, as a result of repeated experiences of harassing cars across the state, including the Treasure Valley. "

Buses are used to transport children to the Community Council, where they can participate in non-profit programs. The vehicles are labeled "Migrant Pre-School and Seasonal Assistance," and staff report that drivers are harassing buses because they "assume that migrants means undocumented."

"Migrant does not necessarily mean" illegal ", said Alvarez to the Statesman. "Migrant means that people are moving in search of a job, this is our program. We have people who could move from Eastern Idaho to Caldwell because of the work they do. "

According to the Congressional Budget Office, the federal deficit is expected to exceed expectations over the next decade, while Donald Trump's tariffs are expected to reduce gross domestic product by 2020.

This is another headache for Trump, as worries continue to grow on the economy, with serious fears of an impending recession.

The non-partisan OBC said the deficit would rise to $ 800 billion more than expected over 10 years. According to CNBC, the US budget deficit "is expected to reach $ 960 billion in 2019 and average $ 1.2 trillion per year between 2020 and 2029":

The new deficit projection for 2019 is $ 63 billion higher than the last report released in May. The CBO says this is mainly due to the massive new budget deal, which was passed by both houses of Congress and promulgated by Trump on Aug. 2.

"The country's financial prospects are difficult," said Phillip Swagel, director of the CBO, in the report. "The federal debt, which is already high by historical standards, is following an unsustainable course."

Swagel said debt is expected to increase further after 2029 due to the aging of the US population, growth in health care spending and rising interest costs.

Some reactions to the rule of the Trump administration on the unlimited detention of immigrant families:

Trump's Rule Change on Detention of Immigrant Families will be published this week in the Federal Register and comes into force 60 days later. The New York Times reports: "although the administration officials acknowledge that the expected court challenge is likely to delay it."

From the time:

Under the new rule, the administration would be free to send families illegally taken to the border in a family residential center for as long as necessary for their immigration case to be settled. Officials said family cases could be resolved in three months, but many could last much longer.

Trump administration officials, who briefed reporters on Tuesday night under the guise of anonymity to discuss these plans, said that a large number of families would be detained until the end of the day. upon their release, after obtaining asylum or deportation to their country of origin. Some families could be granted parole, while the courts would decide their fate.

At present, the government can not detain children for more than 20 days unless they are detained in a public institution. The Wall Street Journal reported that the two largest facilities designed to house families, both in Texas, are not allowed to house children beyond 20 days.

"To circumvent this requirement," writes the Journal, "the new set of rules would allow the Department of Homeland Security to create its own licensing system, allowing the government to house families in one of its centers. detention in court proceedings, until they get asylum, are released on parole in the United States or are deported. "

A new regulation by the Trump administration would allow the government to detain families crossing the border indefinitely.

The new rule would abolish the current 20-day limit on the length of detention of families. This agreement would in fact replace the decades-old Flores agreement, which provided for the surveillance of immigrant children detained by the government.

The rule should be challenged in court, but it adds to the many anti-immigration measures that Trump is trying to enforce.

So what do the Danes think of Trump's decision to cancel his trip to the country?

Not much, it seems – with a former Danish foreign minister comparing Trump to "A clown in a circus".

"There are already many good reasons to think that this man is a fool, and now he has given another," Eva Flyvholm, president of the Red-Green Alliance's foreign policy, told the Danish press. from Denmark.

Guardian's Sean Walker said former Danish Foreign Minister Villy Søvndal said the decision "confirmed Donald Trump was a narcissistic idiot".

"If he had been a clown in a circus, one could probably say that there is considerable entertainment value." The problem is that he is the president of the most powerful nation in the world, "said Søvndal.

Trump's cancellation comes of course after Denmark's refusal to sell Greenland to the United States.

Donald Trump here, citing the comments of the right-wing conspiracy theorist, Wayne Allen Root, describing Trump as the "King of Israel" and "The second coming of god".

Root is a far right player who broadcasts a radio show. He was one of the first supporters of Obama's "birther" racist campaign – to which Trump jumped. Root also thought that Obama was a Muslim and insisted that the president was gay. He said the 2017 shooting in Las Vegas was a "Muslim terrorist attack".

Bill Weld launched his own challenge to Trump in April.

•Flake and Kasich told the Post that they had received a number of GOP donor approaches prompting them to embark. The precipitous rise hastily summoned for a non-Trump candidate was caused in part by fears about the economy. Despite the excitement surrounding the fact that Trump is potentially being ousted by a member of his own party, most of the proposed candidates suggest that they have very little chance of winning.
