Huffington Post: Dem Says ICE Took Florida Mom From Baby, Unlawfully Deported Her To Cuba

Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) said Monday that a mom in her Tampa district was “ripped away” from her infant by ICE agents and unlawfully deported to Cuba.

In a letter to President Donald Trump, Castor urges him to “immediately” grant humanitarian parole for Heidy Sánchez, whose husband told Castor that ICE agents’ separation of Sanchez from her infant daughter was so traumatic that the baby was taken to the hospital.

Do you honestly think that King Donald is capable of doing anything “humanitarian”?

“The baby was still breastfeeding at the time your Administration tore them apart, and the baby’s ongoing health issues require her mother’s return to the U.S. as soon as possible,” Castor wrote to Trump.

“It is unconscionable and wrong for your ICE personnel to harm families in this way,” she said. “Ms. Sánchez is entitled to due process, and her husband and daughter (both U.S. citizens) deserve to be treated with the dignity we value as Americans.”

Guardian: Trump tariffs prompt slump in shipments to US ports

Donald Trump’s increasingly erratic trade war has triggered a slump in shipments to the US’s most important ports, amid the growing risk of a recession in the world’s largest economy.

In the latest sign of the US president’s tariff policies rattling the economy, figures show the number of vessels scheduled to arrive at the Port of Los Angeles next week is down by almost a third on the same period a year earlier.

…

Analysts said the latest shipping figures, which are updated on a daily basis, indicated the fallout was escalating.

…

Highlighting that it typically takes between 20 and 40 days for a sea container to travel from China to the US, Sløk said there would be a knock-on impact on demand for US trucking from the middle of next month, which could lead to empty shelves and layoffs in the distribution and retail industries.

This could lead to a recession by the summer, he added.

Thank the narcissist in the White House! Does he care? No!

Moneywise: ‘We want them back desperately’: US border communities losing millions in sales tax revenue as Canadian shoppers avoid US travel due to Trump’s tariffs and ’51st state’ rhetoric

Posted on by

Cars traveling across the border into the U.S. are down significantly in 2025, and counties like Erie and Niagara are paying the price through a drop in sales tax revenue.

In February and March of 2025, 35,619 fewer cars crossed the Peace Bridge that connects Canada to Buffalo, NY, compared to the number of cars that crossed the bridge during the same months in 2024. During the same period, 29,537 fewer cars crossed the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls.\

Thanks to President Trump’s ongoing trade war with Canada, Canadians seem to have significantly reduced their interest in traveling to the U.S. and the financial ramifications are hard to ignore.

But it’s not just the backlash to Trump’s antics that’s had a negative effect on Canadian tourism in the U.S. In recent months, several foreigners — including a Canadian woman — have been detained while attempting to enter the United States.

Dump Trump and resume treating visitors respectfully. It really is that simple!

Mirror: Karoline Leavitt [Bimbo #1] called out for propaganda stunt that would make ‘Kim Jong Un blush’

Posted on by

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt [Bimbo #1] was called out on social media for a video that showed mugshots of undocumented alients accused of committing crimes like rape and murder lining the White House.

The youngest press secretary was joined by ‘border czar’ Tom Homan at a press conference early Monday morning, where they talked about the “100 days of promises made and promises kept” by U.S. President Donald Trump in the first 100 days of his presidency, largely focusing on the deportation of undocumented migrants.

My question is how many of these people were actually tried and convicted in a court of law? That’s key point that Bimbo #1 and her crowd of gagglers tend to overlook.

Tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on China might lead to empty shelves at Walmart and Target stores, along with rising prices. Experts forecast shortages and layoffs in the transportation and retail sectors, creating a shock for the American economy. “The clock is absolutely ticking.”

Daily Beast: Marco Rubio Contradicts Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi [Bimbo #3] on Due Process

Posted on by

Secretary of State Marco Rubio forgot the Gospel According to Donald Trump on Sunday by admitting that anyone on U.S. soil is entitled to a fair hearing before being removed from the country.

“Yes, of course,” Rudio said in response to the host’s question of whether the Fifth Amendment still applies under Trump during his morning interview with MSNBC. “That’s what the law says!”

Yup! Got that right!

Perhaps conscious of having contradicted the latest White House statements and directives on the matter, he then scrambled to tell the network that “if you’re in this country illegally, you have no right to be here and you must be removed.”

Oops! It must be painful to have spoken the truth for a change. Suck it up, Bubba!

Guardian: Ice seeking out unaccompanied immigrant children to deport or prosecute

Posted on by

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) officials are seeking out unaccompanied immigrant children in operations nationwide with a view to deporting them or pursuing criminal cases against them or adult sponsors sheltering them legally in the US, according to sources and an Ice document.

…

In recent months, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Ice have begun engaging in “welfare checks” on children who arrived in the US alone, usually via the US-Mexico border, to “ensure that they are safe and not being exploited”, according to a DHS spokesperson.

Although DHS is characterizing the welfare visits as benevolent, an internal Ice document accessed by the National Immigration Project advocacy group and then shared shows Ice is also seeking out children who came into the US alone as immigrants – and their US-based sponsors – for immigration enforcement purposes and/or to pursue criminal prosecutions. The recent operations and document confirm a February report from Reuters, that the Trump administration has directed Ice to track down and deport this group.

How does one “[pursue] criminal cases against them or adult sponsors sheltering them LEGALLY in the US”? These creeps will do anything to get their numbers up.

Kansas City Star: Trump Insults CNN Reporter For ‘Hating’ America

President Donald Trump met with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele in the Oval Office to discuss Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national wrongly deported to El Salvador’s CECO prison complex. The administration called Abrego Garcia’s removal an administrative error. A Supreme Court ruling declared his deportation illegal and ordered the administration to help him return to the U.S.

During the meeting, CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins asked both leaders about the process for Abrego Garcia’s return. When Collins pressed for details, Trump shifted focus to insult her, calling her “low-rated” and saying CNN “hates our country.”

Irish Star: Irish woman living legally in US for 30 years detained after visit to Ireland

Posted on by
Reply

A woman who has been living in the US for more than 30 years was taken into detention by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement after she paid a visit to her sick father in Ireland.

Cliona Ward, 54, went to the US in her early teens and has been residing in Santa Cruz, California, for over three decades. She recently traveled back to Ireland, a country not on the impossible immigration list, with her stepmother to visit her father, who has dementia. Upon her return, Ward was questioned about 20-year-old drug possession convictions that have reportedly been “expunged” under state but not under federal law.

Ward was reportedly released, but when she returned to the airport last Monday to show documentation to officials from US Customs and Border Protection recording how the convictions had been expunged, she was taken into custody just weeks after ICE detain students over visa issues.

According to the enforcement agency’s website, Ward is being held in an ICE facility in Tacoma, Washington state. According to reports, she is due before the courts on May 7th.

Alternet: ‘Another Trump in the future’: Why international allies may ditch the US for good

Posted on by

The global community is reportedly concerned about the potential emergence of another leader like President Donald Trump after the end of his term in 2029.

The New York Times reported that given these concerns, international allies are forging trade partnerships and security alliances independent of the United States, with the European Union and South American nations recently establishing a significant trade zone.

Ian Goldin, a professor at Oxford, told the Times that he believes Trump’s MAGA following and its motivations — rooted in economic insecurity and inequality — will persist beyond Trump’s presidency.

“The MAGA base and JD Vance will still be around long after Trump’s gone,” Goldin said. ‘No matter who next occupies the White House, the conditions that propelled the ‘Make America Great Again’ movement — widening inequality and economic insecurity — remain. For the rest of the world, there is still a worry, he said, that there could be ‘another Trump in the future’,” he said.
