Trump's Deportation Ambitions Target All Immigrants

Trump's Deportation Ambitions Target All Immigrants
‘Even those in the United States legally are targets’ · theweek.com

President Trump wants to send many immigrants back to their home countries, not just those who are undocumented.

This includes people who are in the U.S. legally and even citizens.

Gustavo Arellano, a writer, says this is a big change and that everyone should be aware that no one is safe from these new rules.

Two people, Keith Porter, Jr. and Renee Nicole Good, who were involved in a shooting that caused big protests, have died.

Arellano says their deaths show that even citizens are not safe from immigration enforcement.

It's important for everyone to understand that these policies affect a lot of people in different ways.

Columnist at the Chicago Tribune

“For all its strengths — from offering travel tips to investment advice to writing term papers and poetry — AI content is also a double-edged sword, littered with bogus references and conclusions based on biased studies or incomplete information.”

“At its best, AI reflects the current thinking on a particular issue, but what if the current thinking is wrong?”

Columnist at The Boston Globe

“Insider trading is blatantly illegal in traditional financial exchanges like the stock market, but insider trading in prediction markets is legally murkier.”
theweek.com
“That leaves online platforms with room to create their own rules on insider trading, and the federal government seems uninterested in the potential dangers of insider trading in prediction markets.”

Columnist at The American Conservative

“Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is persona non grata to Trump, and it is Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) who plays golf with the president, and who seems to have the neoconservative Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s back in inner-circle conversations and politics.”

“Now American foreign policy looks a lot more like Rubio and Graham’s vision than Paul’s, or even Trump’s.”

Columnist at the Los Angeles Times

“President Donald Trump is not just going after all undocumented immigrants and limiting legal migration but has the goal of remigration — the idea that immigrants of any status should return to their home countries.”

“If this proves to American citizens and permanent residents once and for all that they’re not safe from ICE, then their deaths weren’t in vain.”
