U.S.-born man held for ICE under Florida's new anti-immigration law

And California is paying ads and sending trade missions to invite Canadians to come back to the state.  Come see us!  We're cool!
Nah.  We're all good.

I thought I saw Steve Bannon today, but it just turned out to be another of the homeless that hang around my apartment.

Whew that's a relief

Our homeless look a lot more like Charles Manson, so they are not as scary as Bannon.

Trump has turned the George Mason University libertarians into revolutionaries

If you agree to that UK they will just demand more. Do nothing for them and tell them to fuck off.

You are an idiot if you do otherwise.

Well, Trump can always claim the UK yielded. It's not that ideologically-based definitions vs science-based ones are ideal anyways.
Though orange agent and his clique will probably find another excuse, if need be.

they shouldn't use the word 'studying'. The man likely doesn't know what it means

Rather he wants to fire Powell, and is getting his minions to figure out how.

One interesting detail about Abrego Garcia (Maryland man) is that he had been granted a "withholding of removal" by an immigration judge. This means there is exactly one country in the world to which he can not be deported.  In his case the country is El Salvador.

Trade war: China 'completely' stops buying liquefied gas from the US

China has halted all imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States for more than ten weeks
According to the Financial Times, shipping data revealed that no LNG shipments have taken place between the two nations since a 69,000-tonne tanker from Corpus Christi, Texas, arrived in China's Fujian province on 6 February.


A second vessel destined for China was redirected to Bangladesh after it failed to arrive before Beijing imposed a 15 per cent tariff on US LNG on 10 February.

The tariff has now been raised to 49 per cent, effectively pricing US gas out of the Chinese market.

The current freeze on US LNG mirrors a similar halt during United States President Donald Trump's first term, which lasted over a year.

Imho, that will sting a bit for Texas budget, no?

This is an interesting snarl since if he gets his habeas corpus rights they could just deport him to North Korea or Gaza. I wonder how challengeable the order to not deport to Salvador is since "threatened by criminals" doesn't feel right as a basis for refugee status.

It is illegal under US and international law to deport a person to a country other than their country of citizenship. Not that the Trump administration cares abut the law, but at least they will have to tell John Roberts to fuck off to his face.  It would be even more amusing if Trump then deported Roberts to Russia.
