The suspicious truck, which was declared to be carrying auto parts, was stopped for x-ray detection on June 6. The unidentified objects detected by x-ray operators were discovered to be seven migrants wrapped in aluminum foil after a detailed search.
It should be no surprise that the first year of the Trump presidency has been brutal for refugees. Not only are resettlement numbers down to the lowest levels recorded in the nearly 40-year history of the program, but the trends by nationality raise disturbing questions in light of the president's hateful and bigoted rhetoric about refugees and immigrants .
Many have taken to the Reflector's Facebook page to share their feelings - some v oicing concerns against the means used in detaining the illegal immigrants and U.S. citizens alike, and others commending the agents, encouraging the government to "send them all packing," as one reader wrote. More than 300 comments were shared on the Reflector's initial posting of the story on its Facebook page, which was shared by people throughout several states and across North America, stretching into Canada and Mexico.
U.S. Border Patrol agents report making 51,912 arrests in May, the third month in a row the number has topped 50,000. The Trump administration uses the arrest numbers as the best gauge of whether illegal crossings are going up or down.
U.S. Border Patrol agents made 51,912 arrests in May for illegal crossings, the third month in a row the number has topped 50,000 amid a new "zero tolerance" policy and agents separating families caught crossing illegally. The Trump administration - like previous administrations - uses the arrest numbers as the best gauge of whether illegal crossings are going up or down, though there is no precise measure of illegal crossings because some people aren't caught.
For Deb Haaland, the New Mexico lawyer seeking to make history in her bid to become the first Native American woman elected to Congress, proclaiming defiance to the Trump administration has echoes in the brutal history of the Southwest. "How can we not be outraged by the separation of families?" Ms.
Federal agents arrested nearly 52,000 people at the Southwest border in May, according to data released on Wednesday by the Department of Homeland Security, as the number of migrants trying to enter the United States continued to rise. The arrests in May - the third month in a row of increases - follow the Trump administration's tough stance against illegal immigration, including sending thousands of National Guard troops to the border and a "zero tolerance" policy that seeks to prosecute people who illegally enter the country.
The government's new "zero tolerance" policy toward undocumented immigrants and its tactic of separating families at the border has taxed the immigration system, from overflowing holding facilities to crammed courts. Hundreds of immigrant rights advocates and others participate in rally and and demonstration at the Federal Building in lower Manhattan against the Trump administration's policy that enables federal agents to take migrant children away from their parents at the border on June 1, 2018 in New York, United States.
The number of illegal immigrants killed after their boat sank off the southeastern coast of Tunisia on Sunday has risen to 112, according to the UNs' migration agency. The ill-fated boat was packed with about 180 migrants, including 80 from other African countries, local media had reported earlier.
Trump has imposed penalty tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from major U.S. trading partners, including Canada. And he has threatened tariffs on up to $200 billion in Chinese imports, moves that could trigger a global trade war as the targeted nations pledge to retaliate.
The number of illegal immigrants killed after their boat sank off the southeastern coast of Tunisia on Sunday has risen to 48, according to the Ministry of Defense. A total of 75 people have been rescued people so far, including 60 Tunisians, five from Sub-Saharan Africa, two Moroccans and one Libyan, said Rachid Bouhawala, the press officer at the Ministry of Defense.
As Congress returns from a ten day legislative break, lawmakers come back to Capitol Hill facing a series of politcally explosive topics, ranging from the President's diplomatic overtures to North Korea, to his controversial moves to slap tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum from Europe, Mexico and Canada, and how best to deal with the hot button issue of illegal immigration. Bubbling underneath all of that as well, continues to be the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections, as the White House continues to question the probe being led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
For the longest time, illegal immigration was driven by single males from Mexico. Over the last decade, the flow has shifted to women, children, and family units from Central America.
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable has rejected calls to make way for a successor, with friends telling Business Insider that he plans to stay in the job for another 20 years. Ellis Island was the first place many hopeful immigrants saw upon arrival on US shores, the repository for all their dreams.
The Trump administration is pushing back against reports that a government agency "lost" nearly 1,500 unaccompanied minors who attempted to cross the border into the United States. An official at the Department of Health and Human Services who oversees programs that place unaccompanied minors with families told a Senate committee last month that a department office "was unable to determine with certainty the whereabouts of 1,475 unaccompanied alien children."
The White House on Tuesday wrongly blamed Democrats for forcing Mr. Trump's administration to separate children from parents. Liberal activists and others, including some from media outlets, tried to highlight the issue by tweeting photos of young people in steel cages that actually were taken during the Obama administration.
It has lit up social media and made the debate over a new Trump policy of "zero tolerance" at the border even more hysterical than it would be otherwise. The 1,475 factoid makes it sound as though the Trump administration had these children in its custody and then one day couldn't find them.
