It’s actually a good thing when unhinged news outlets which support illegal immigration trot out these stories, because it helps increase the fear among these law breaking illegal aliens, and hopefully gets reported to those who are looking to come illegally/overstay their visas
Fear of immigration raids builds as agency’s plans move forward
President Trump said his administration will move forward “fairly soon†with a plan to arrest thousands of migrant families in surprise roundups across major U.S. cities, with the two-week deadline he imposed on Democrats coming up on Saturday.
Trump tipped off the mass arrests in a June 17 tweet, vowing “millions†of deportations, but called them off five days later. The president tweeted that he delayed the raids for two weeks at Democrats’ request, “to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border.â€
“If not,â€Â he wrote , “Deportations start!â€
Trump’s threats have left immigrants living in the United States illegally in a fog of dread, putting neighborhoods on edge and making residents fear venturing outside.
There is no specific timeline for the operations, but, on thing that Washington Post writers Nick Miroff, Josh Dawsey, and Maria Sacchetti forget to mention (either on purpose or because they failed to do the research) is that everyone on the list to be rounded up and deported have already exhausted their legal methods to stay in the U.S. after arriving illegally at some point. A goodly chunk were ordered deported while Obama was president, so they should have already been gone. Per federal immigration judges, they have no lawful reason to remain
Eva, who works at a plant nursery in Homestead, Fla., said she has stopped going to the park and makes trips to the grocery store every few weeks.
“I don’t know when I leave in the morning if I’ll come home in the night,†said Eva, who arrived illegally 19 years ago from Mexico and whose teen daughter is a U.S. citizen.
“They could come and get me at any time,†she said, asking for her last name to be withheld for fear it could help ICE find her.
Funny how these reporters can so easily find an illegal alien, eh? If you cannot deal with the penalties, do not do the crime.
Officials at ICE concede that few of the families on their list are likely to be encountered at the addresses provided to the courts. The agency is expecting to find some of those individuals and make “collateral†arrests of others they encounter who lack legal status or have outstanding deportation orders.
So they also lied to the courts? That’s a criminal offense.
The constant churn of threats and rumored raids has left those facing potential deportation on edge.
Good. They could avoid all that if they just left. Like federal judges ordered.

Amazingly, most of the people bringing the ‘climate change’ suits refuse to practice what they want to force others to
Governments and firms in 28 countries sued over climate crisis – report
Climate action lawsuits against governments and corporations have spread across 28 countries, according to a new analysis.
The study reveals that more than 1,300 legal actions concerning climate change have been brought since 1990.
While the US – with 1,023 cases – remains the leader in climate litigation, other countries are increasingly seeing individuals, charities and states take action.
Joana Setzer, co-author of the report by the Grantham Institute and the London School of Economics, said: “Holding government and businesses to account for failing to combat climate change has become a global phenomenon.
“People and environmental groups are forcing governments and companies into court for failing to act on climate change, and not just in the US. The number of countries in which people are taking climate change court action is likely to continue to rise.â€
In the two and a half years since Donald Trump became US president, lawsuits have sought to prevent his attempts to undo environmental regulations. An analysis of 154 cases in the report shows that no such reversal of a climate regulation brought before the courts has yet survived a legal challenge.
Countries where legal cases have been taken include Australia, where 94 cases were launched, the UK (53), Brazil (five), Spain (13), New Zealand (17) and Germany (five).
Of course, most of these suits fail, and those that don’t result in minor adjustments that just barely comply, and amount to nothing in the end. But, hey, if they can’t actually convince other people in their cause, they’ll attempt to force it.

So, yeah, wow, an even bigger earthquake struck California
(CNN) A powerful 7.1-magnitude earthquake swayed buildings and cracked foundations in Southern California on Friday night, sending terrified residents sleeping on the streets a day after another temblor hit.
The latest earthquake Friday struck 11 miles northeast of Ridgecrest, according to the US Geological Survey. It was five times bigger than Thursday’s 6.4 -magnitude earthquake, also centered near Ridgecrest, CNN Meteorologist Brandon Miller said.
I ignored the lunatics doing this on the 4th, but, it’s gotten worse
All I’m saying is there were no multiple earthquakes within a 36 hour span under Obama…. thanks trump

Remember, the Cult of Climastrology is just trying to save us from a minor 1.5F increase in global temperatures since 1850, but they say that temps will rise a whole lot!!!!!! very soon
The Canadian Green New Deal and migrant justice
The Canadian Green New Deal movement is picking up steam, as prominent activists join forces with over 80 organizations to demand radical change.
On June 11, Indigenous lawyer Pam Palmater and journalist Naomi Klein were two of the speakers at a Green New Deal town hall in Toronto. More town halls are planned in the next few weeks, with an open invitation to organize events to anyone committed to building the movement.
Modeled after the demand for a Green New Deal in the U.S., the Canadian version aims to build a mass movement that can pressure government to take bold actions.
Instead of implementing temperate solutions such as the carbon tax, the Canadian Green New Deal calls for an economy that redistributes wealth and resources to benefit the vast majority of the population while drastically reducing emissions.
That translates into transformative action on “systems of transit, energy, housing, agriculture, and public services” as well as addressing migrant justice.
“The migrant labour piece needs to be central in that,” says Karen Cocq, an organizer with the labour-advocacy group Fight for $15 and Fairness.
So, somehow this transformed into a complete change in the economic system and protection of illegal aliens, as well as taking in every single person from third world shitholes developing nations that wants in. You have Naomi Klein taking lots of fossil fueled trips to talk about her ideas to essentially do away with capitalism, which is her climate schtick. Of course, they never really like to say what kind of economic system they want, just buzz phrases such as economic justice and redistribution of (Other People’s) wealth.
What they essentially want is the government in charge of everything, with these Warmists never realizing that it would apply to their own lives.
But, hey, this tiny increase in global temperatures is also causing racism and hate crimes!
To make matters worse, this isn’t the only crisis we face. Economic inequality, precarious work, a housing crisis, and rising racism threaten our communities and social fabric. And yet year after year, Canada’s emissions are stuck at historic highs, two billionaires control as much wealth as almost a third of the population, and 46% of Canadians are within $200 of insolvency. Reported hate crimes increased nearly 50% in 2017, and the number of white supremacist groups in Canada has grown 200% between 2015-2018.
What does that all have to do with ‘climate change’? This is Warmist World, where every single issue out there is linked to carbon pollution.

I’ve mentioned this suit brought against New York City several times, and now NYC is going even further in trying to end the suit
New York City Backs Off Gun Restrictions To Avoid Supreme Court Defeat
The Supreme Court should dismiss a challenge to New York City’s gun transportation ban because a new ordinance will moot the case, city lawyers told the justices Wednesday.
The ordinance and a newly enacted state law will give the plaintiffs who challenged the transportation ban everything they have sought in court, making dismissal the appropriate course, city lawyers wrote in a letter to the high court.
“The new city regulation gives petitioners everything they have sought in this lawsuit,†assistant corporation counsel Richard Dearing wrote. “The new state law, upon signature by the governor, will make the case doubly moot.â€
If the case is not dismissed, the city will continue arguing the dispute is moot in a legal brief due Aug. 5. They will not address the merits of the controversy, Dearing wrote.
While the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the city, the Supreme Court decided to review the case, which truly scared NYC, and they are thinking that the city will lose at the Supreme Court. So, the city changed the law, stating
“If, however, this Court prefers to allow briefing (and potentially oral argument) to play out, respondents will file a brief on the designated due date maintaining in greater detail that the case is moot,†the letter reads.
“Respondents do not intend to address whether the Constitution entitles petitioners (or any other residents of New York City with premises licenses) to transport their handguns from their homes in the city to second homes, or to firing ranges or shooting competitions beyond municipal borders, where they have a legal right to possess them. Respondents no longer have any stake in that legal question,†it adds.
Technically, they are correct. With the law gone, there is no point. Or, is there? As I wrote back in May, the idea here is to make the chance of a ruling moot
The rule itself was about restricting where law abiding citizens could take their firearms. They were limited to 7 shooting ranges in the city (which the city would also like to shut down), but not to second homes or shooting ranges outside the city. The changes would remove those restrictions. If the court drops review of the case, you know that those restrictions would slowly re-appear. Because if the gun grabbers can’t do the Big Law, they’ll do death by a thousand rules.
Once the case is dropped, what would stop NYC from slowly reinstating the same restrictions over a couple years? At which point the suit would have start fresh. The question is, will the 2nd Amendment supporters on the Court think the same thing, and decide to listen to arguments and provide a ruling which would stop any future restrictions in NYC and, essentially, every other gun grabbing area?

If you can’t pay the fine don’t do the crime
Ordered Deported, Then Sent a $497,777 Fine From ICE
Edith Espinal spends her days praying, reading and, when feeling brave, taking short accompanied walks outside the Mennonite church in Columbus, Ohio, where she has been living for 21 months. Church leaders have been protecting Ms. Espinal, who crossed illegally into the United States more than two decades ago, while she fights a deportation order.
But earlier this week, the church secretary handed Ms. Espinal a letter from Immigration and Customs Enforcement that said she had “willfully†refused to leave the country, had “connived or conspired†to prevent her deportation, and would owe the government nearly half a million dollars.
“We don’t have this amount of money,†Ms. Espinal, 42, said Wednesday of the $497,777 bill. “I never imagined they’d send it to us.â€
Ms. Espinal was among several undocumented immigrants living in houses of worship who this week received similar notices, the latest measure taken by the Trump administration in its crackdown on illegal immigration.
Citing the Immigration and Nationality Act, ICE officials said the agency has the right to impose civil fines, up to $799 a day, on undocumented immigrants who have been ordered removed, or who have failed to leave the country. Officials said the agency began issuing such notices in December, though it was not clear on Thursday how many had been sent.
Let’s be clear: these are people who have been ordered out by judges after going through the legal process, and have no legal recourse left to stay in the United States. If they do not like the fines, they should have left.
