But wait I thought that the money for the border wall was tied up in the general omnibus package and wouldn't be decided on until the fall? Well, that's still true, but there's some construction about to get underway in San Diego anyway. The factor which makes this possible is that the first section to be built is a prototype.
After a crackdown on illegal immigration that has sharply reduced the number of unauthorized border crossings from Mexico, U.S. President Donald Trump is now turning his attention to reducing the number of legal immigrants in the country. The White House is throwing its support behind a bill developed by Republican senators Tom Cotton of Arkansas and David Perdue of Georgia that would cut legal immigration by 50 percent over 10 years by reducing the kinds of relatives immigrants can bring into the country.
Italian authorities seized a ship operated by a migrant aid group off the coast of Italy as part of an inquiry into illegal immigration, a move that could raise tensions with groups that play an increasingly large role in rescuing thousands of migrants attempting to reach Italy. Early Monday, Italian coast guard vessels accompanied the Iuventa, a ship run by German aid group Jugend Rettet, into the port of Lampedusa, a small island off the coast of Italy.

"I don't know what part of 'I don't know' I'm not getting across here," the mayor said. Hizzoner's office may have announced that private foundations will pick up the tab to defend some undocumented immigrants facing deportation, but the mayor himself said he "literally" had "no idea how that happened, specifically," when asked for more details Tuesday.

Joe Arpaio, a former Arizona sheriff whose extreme stance on illegal immigration made him a household name, was convicted Monday of criminal contempt of court for ignoring a judge's order to stop detaining people because he merely suspected them of being undocumented immigrants. U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton wrote that Arpaio had shown a "flagrant disregard" for the court's command and that his attempt to pin the conduct on those who worked for him rang hollow.
Following a tense standoff between Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito over whether undocumented immigrants convicted of serious crimes should receive taxpayer-funded legal services, the pair announced Monday that private donors would provide funding for those services instead. In June, Mark-Viverito inserted language into the city budget mandating that the $26 million plan to offer legal services to undocumented immigrants facing deportation include individuals convicted of one of 170 crimes that the city exempts from its "sanctuary city" protections.
Arizona's Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a strong ally of Donald Trump, has been found guilty of criminal contempt of court for defying an order that he stop his department's infamous roundups of people he suspected to be undocumented immigrants. Arpaio was sheriff of Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix and is the state's most populous county, from 1993 until 2016.
Mexican authorities said on Sunday they rescued 147 Central Americans abandoned in the wilderness of Veracruz state, Mexico, after suspected human smugglers forced them out of a cramped tractor trailer they were travelling in on their way to the United States. The migrants, 74 from Honduras, 59 from Guatemala, 13 from El Salvador and one from Nicaragua were in the back of the poorly ventilated vehicle as they travelled to the border state of Tamaulipas, where they would eventually be smuggled into the United States, Mexico's national immigration institute said.

On his visit to Brentwood, New York, on Friday afternoon, President Donald Trump showed how little he understands the nuances of immigration, the signature issue of his campaign. Railing against the MS-13 gang, he suggested that the Long Island suburbs are so out of control they are akin to Cambodia or Iraq.
Donald Trump endured in a single week the kind of policy disarray, legislative failure and vulgar White House staff infighting that might take a full term for any other president to accumulate. His manic, seven-day stretch was capped Friday afternoon by Trump's announcement -- on Twitter -- that White House chief of staff Reince Priebus was exiting the administration.
President Donald Trump delivered a fiery law-and-order speech in Long Island on Friday, calling gang members "animals" and praising law enforcement for being "rough." Pres.

"Together we're going to restore safety to our streets and peace to our communities and we're going to destroy the vile, criminal cartel MS-13 and many other gangs," Trump said.
Trumpeting his administration's crackdown on illegal immigration and violent crime, President Donald Trump is traveling to Long Island to urge Congress to dedicate more funding to the fight. Trump is set to speak Friday afternoon at Suffolk County Community College in Brentwood, New York, close to where the ultra-violent street gang MS-13 has committed a string of gruesome murders, including the massacre of four young men in April in a Central Islip park.
