Posted on by Lone Candle

“George Retes was denied access to an attorney, wasn’t allowed to make a phone call, was not presented to a judge, and was put in an isolation cell before being released with no charges.

…

[he] was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies for three days and nights despite telling officers he was an American citizen and his identification was in his nearby car.

“United States Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh released a concurring opinion essentially blessing the use of racial profiling by the Trump administration’s immigration enforcers, even as critics warned American citizens’ rights would inevitably be violated.
The stops of people who are legally in the country are “typically brief,” Kavanaugh asserted, “and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U.S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States.””

Senate Democrats raise concerns over Pentagon plan to use military lawyers as immigration judges

Posted on by Lone Candle

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved sending up to 600 military lawyers to the Justice Department to serve as temporary immigration judges. It is part of the steps the Trump administration has taken to use the military in broader ways than previously seen, particularly in its immigration crackdown, including sending the National Guard into American cities and deploying active duty troops to the U.S.-Mexico border.

“These military officers would serve under the command and control of the Attorney General and would execute administrative determinations at the direction of the Attorney General,” according to the letter signed by 12 Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee. It added that “these actions are inherently law enforcement actions that may not be performed by members of the armed forces.””

USA Policies Clash

Posted on by Lone Candle

Trump has pressured South Korea to invest more in the U.S.. South Korea was setting up a factory in Georgia and brought some of their own people to set it up because they have the experience in building that exact type of factory. The U.S. then does a military style raid to remove these people. The administration is either so incompetent that it can’t stop itself from working at cross purposes, or/and U.S. immigration law is so bad that we can’t even get the needed workers legally in to do a job that is a part of a priority set by the president of the United States.

Trump faces EXTREME BACKLASH after RAID GONE WRONG

Posted on by Lone Candle

Korean companies invest billions in the U.S., can’t get appropriate visas due to the U.S.’s crappy system, and the skilled people brought over to help make these investments are rounded up like criminals.

You can’t demand Korea invest in the U.S., not have the human capital to support those investments, not have the visa system to get that capital imported legally, and then get mad when in order to fulfill the investment demands the Korean companies don’t get their skilled workers properly documented.

Trump seems to recognize that it’s a problem, yet he did nothing to fix it while leading the charge on an incredibly expensive mass deportation operation while also demanding foreign countries invest in the U.S..
