Trump’s proposed 5% tax on remittances was lowered to just 3.5% by the Senate, Sheinbaum said

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that the U.S. lowered its proposed tax on remittances from 5% to 3.5%, but that officials will continue working to lower it further.

During her daily press conference on Thursday, Sheinbaum welcomed a move by U.S. lawmakers to reduce the proposed tax rate to 3.5%, but said she would keep pushing for its full elimination. She argued that the tax would harm not just Mexico, but many countries in the region and beyond.

The tax is a total disgrace. It mostly will hurt poor poeple / lower income earners in the U.S. who are trying to help even poorer members of their families overseas. This tax will be paid on top of the income and social security taxes that have already been paid on the amounts being remitted.

Knewz: Another U.S. Citizen Mistakenly Told to Self-Deport

Boston immigration attorney Nicole Micheroni received a surprising email last month from the Department of Homeland Security ordering her to self-deport immediately. The email said DHS was ending her parole and told her to leave the country, even though she holds a U.S. passport and birth certificate. Micheroni has held a U.S. passport and birth certificate and has been legally allowed to remain in the country.

Other immigration attorneys have reported receiving similar erroneous notices. Micheroni stated, “It took me a couple of minutes to realize it was sent to me instead of someone I represent.”

These mistaken emails raise concern among U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and visa holders about possible wrongful enforcement. Micheroni said, “It’s meant to be an intimidation tactic to get people to leave the country.”

Miami Herald: Supreme Court ruling on TPS stuns South Florida, leaves Venezuelan families in fear

A U.S Supreme Court ruling that allows the Trump administration to strip deportation protections and work permits from hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans — including many Miami area residents — sent shock waves through South Florida and across the Sunshine State on Monday.

“That the U.S. would terminate the protections for Venezuelans now, when nothing has improved back home, is just unbelievable,” said Betsy Diaz, a Venezuelan-American in Hialeah whose two daughters, five grandchildren and several other relatives will lose the protections.

In a two-paragraph order, the nation’s highest court on Monday granted an emergency request from the White House to roll back a lower court judge’s order that kept in place Temporary Protected Status for about 350,000 Venezuelans. It was part of an ongoing lawsuit in federal court in San Francisco challenging the Trump administration’s February decision to revoke the protections granted to Venezuelans and other nationals from certain countries in turmoil.

The court provided no explanation for why it had lifted the lower court judge’s order, which prevented the Trump administration from removing the protections while the litigation is ongoing.

Raleigh News & Observer: ‘Nullified’: Trump Suffers Blow in Court

A U.S. federal appeals court has temporarily blocked former President Donald Trump’s effort to end benefits from the humanitarian parole program (CHNV) for over 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston ruled that the administration did not meet the criteria for an emergency intervention to overturn a prior lower court ruling. Federal Judge Indira Talwani previously halted the cancellation of the CHNV ordered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Trump has since pushed for the Supreme Court to grant him the ability to put an end to the program.

The DHS under Trump has alleged that the CHNV program was misused. Critics argued that its cancellation violates the Immigration and Nationality Act, resulting in detrimental effects for migrants who relied on the established program.

…

Talwani found that the DHS’s measure did not comply with legal requirements for case-by-case reviews and ordered the reinstatement of the parole process and its associated immigration benefits. Her ruling mandated that notifications sent to individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela remain suspended pending further judicial orders.

Daily Express: Trump claims Supreme Court ruling could ‘end the US’

President Donald Trump condemned the Supreme Court after it denied him permission to deport 200 Venezuelan men whom his administration accused of being linked to gangs currently detained in Texas.

“If we’re not allowed to send the murderers and other criminals of every type, size, and shape, IMMEDIATELY out of our Country, we aren’t going to have a Country anymore. Radical Left Judges and politicians don’t care, but 90% of the people in the U.S.A. do. Hopefully, the Supreme Court will agree with this and, SAVE AMERICA!” Trump wrote.

Cry me a river, you piece of self-indulgent shit. Thankfully we have judges doing your job for you by upholding our Constitution and the rule of law.

Trump administration revokes humanitarian parole of local teacher

Vanegas and his family moved to the U.S. 10 months ago on humanitarian parole, a Biden-era program that gives individuals temporary legal status for urgent humanitarian reasons or for significant public benefit.

Vanegas, who taught high schoolers in Nicaragua for 15 years, now works three part time jobs. He teaches Spanish at two grade schools, including one in Prince George’s County, and at Howard University.

Last month, he received notice his parole was being revoked and he and his family needed to leave by April 25.

“How can I get a solution about this situation in a short period of time?” Vanegas said. “That is something that I, that we have been thinking about and it’s been something that is difficult, you know.”

New York Times: Pressuring Migrants to ‘Self-Deport,’ White House Moves to Cancel Social Security Numbers

Posted on by

By placing migrants in Social Security’s “death master file,” the Trump administration is seeking to cut off their access to credit cards, bank accounts and other financial services.

People who have been here LEGALLY may soon discover that they are “dead”.

Since taking office, the Trump administration has moved aggressively to revoke the temporary legal status of hundreds of thousands of immigrants who were allowed into the country under President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

Now, the administration is taking drastic steps to pressure some of those immigrants and others who had legal status to “self-deport” by effectively canceling the Social Security numbers they had lawfully obtained, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times and interviews with six people familiar with the plans.

The goal is to cut those people off from using crucial financial services like bank accounts and credit cards, along with their access to government benefits.

The effort hinges on a surprising new tactic: repurposing Social Security’s “death master file,” which for years has been used to track dead people who should no longer receive benefits, to include the names of living people who the government believes should be treated as if they are dead.

Newsweek: Trump DHS Orders 900K Biden-Era Migrants to Leave ‘Immediately’

900,000 immigrants who were here LEGALLY are going to disappear overnight? Do you believe in magic?

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ordered migrants who entered the U.S. via the CBP One app to leave “immediately.”

The Biden-era CBP One app—through which more than 900,000 people were allowed temporary entry beginning in January 2023—was used to schedule appointments at ports of entry and helped migrants live and work under parole in the U.S. for two years.

DHS to Terminate CHNV Parole Program Effective April 24, 2025

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has indicated that it will be publishing a notice in the Federal Register on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, announcing its plans to terminate a program granting humanitarian parole and employment authorization to qualifying nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, a program commonly referred to as the “CHNV Parole Program.”. 

The termination of CHNV parole will take effect on April 24, 2025 ( or 30-days after the publication of the notice in the Federal Register if published after March 25th). As of the effective date, CHNV parolees and their immediate family members will lose their parole benefits, including their ability to remain lawfully in the U.S. and their employment authorization (even if their parole document or EAD card have a later expiration date). DHS expects all CHNV parolees who have not secured an alternative lawful means of remaining in the U.S. to depart by April 24, 2025. Those who do not depart the U.S. by that time may be subject to a process known as “expedited removal”  – a fast-track deportation process without a hearing before an Immigration Judge that carries with it a 5-year bar on reentry to the U.S.

What this means is that by April 24, 2025 more than half a million immigrants, plus their family members, all of whom are currently in the United States LEGALLY, will be expected to have disappeared from the U.S.

Bimbo #2 Kristi Noem and her degenerate sidekick Tom Homan will no doubt be enjoying an endless stream of mental orgasms at the thought of turning hundreds of thousands of lives inside out & upside down.

Who needs a Gestapo, when you’ve got ICE, run by misfits like Homan and Bimbo #2?

Daily Express: Trump administration moves to end temporary status for 530,000 people

Another half a million immigrants (mostly refugees and asylum candidates) will now be available for Trump’s ICE bullies to abuse and deport.

It’s as though Trump strives to create misery for people on the largest scale possible.

President Donald Trump’s administration is reportedly gearing up to end temporary legal status for more than 530,000 people who arrived in the United States from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Haiti.

This comes after Trump directed his officials to “terminate all categorical parole programs that are contrary to the policies of the United States,” on the first day of his second term at the White House.

According to a Federal Register document, these people entered the country via former President Joe Biden’s temporary parole programs which are scheduled to end on April 24.

    According to the document, people who had parole under these programs “must depart the United States before their parole termination date.”

    If these people do not leave before the parole is terminated, the Department of Homeland Security will “remove” them.

    Homeland Security Secretary [& Bimbo #2] Kristi Noem said that this move “directly” follows Trump’s order and “complements and underscores the Administration’s pivot to a foreign policy that prioritizes the United States’ interests in a secure border …”
