intexasatthe moment Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 I know ( sort of ! ) it seems that the proposal is that any immigrant who has committed an illegal act ( like entering the country without authorisation ) or has been charged with a crime can be deported via the expedited route ( no hearing allowed I think ) .So that seems excessively scary . Tho I might be wrong .And I don't think it's been approved yet ? White House advisors still working on it ? Mutterings from ICE that if every case is a priority for deporting ,then none are a priority .

jaywalker Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The BBC tonight says memos have been issued and funding will be sought from Congress to provide enforcement.What Trump will find is that following a rule of this kind (the memos only apply to those who have broken the law) will be his undoing (assuming he does not go totalitarian). And he will not be able to understand why.

intexasatthe moment Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 My understanding is that they don't need to have broken the law "the memos provide Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents with the ability to effectively target any US non-citizen who has either been convicted of any sort of crime, has simply been accused of a crime, has carried out minor fraud or is, in the assessment of an Ice officer, ?a risk to public safety" ""The department will now be allowed to target any undocumented immigrant who has been in the country up to two years for ?expedited removal? ? meaning a removal that does not need to be authorized by the court."

Loz Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 A rather unsuccessful Trump protest...A call was made to boycott Wegmans Food Markets until it stopped selling Trump-branded wines at its Virginia store. ?Let?s demonstrate through economic action that the residents and business owners of Charlottesville will not stand for the hatred espoused by Eric Trump and those like him,? the Stop Trump Wine website reads.Wegmans Food Markets are now reporting to have completely sold out of Trump wines. They say they won?t have any more for a few weeks until they have a chance to stock back up, so I suppose protest has sort of stopped them selling Trump wine.

And then the hair from each side of the head is combed sideways and forwards, criss-crossing over the top. He must have someone doing it for him every morning.. it probably takes ages!

jaywalker Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 The press consensus is that Trump is being normalised rather rapidly. Of course this has nothing to do with the rather large increase in funding announced today for the military-industrial complex.

Act now to block it. View email onlineFight Trump's Muslim BanThe day we dreaded is here. Just now President Trump has signed another Executive Order - banning people from several Muslim-majority countries, suspending the refugee program, and slashing the number of refugees who are allowed into the US when it restarts.Make no mistake: This new version is just another attempt at a Muslim ban - denying people based on who they are, not what they?ve done. Let?s fight it with everything we?ve got, just like we did last time.Tell President Trump to stop this ban and to protect human rightsEmail the White House"This replacement order is the same hate and fear with new packaging. It will cause extreme fear and uncertainty for thousands of families by, once again, putting anti-Muslim hatred into policy. No amount of editing can make this executive order anything but what it is ? blatant bigotry."Margaret Huang, executive director of Amnesty International USAEmail the White HouseThis new order is inhumane, short-sighted and against all of our shared values.That?s why we need to put global pressure on the White House - and we need to do it fast, before more lives are torn apart.Help us make enough noise that they can?t ignore us.Stand up for human rights - email the White House nowThank you for your tireless support,Laura TrevelyanPriority Campaign Manager Amnesty International UK' Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/140477-a-general-thread-to-discuss-trump/page/7/#findComment-1111397 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loz Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 You have to laugh at Amnesty. Not 'here's the White House email address - go get 'em', but 'email them via our website (oh, and gives us your mobile while you're at it) so we can hound you for money for the next 200 years or so'.Never one to miss a fundraising opportunity.

JohnL Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Listened to the guy who got removed from the plane by US customs on Sky News today.He had a classic South West Wales / Swansea accent - I wonder whether the US Officers had no idea what accent it was as it's very obviously different.
