Phoenix immigrant deported to Mexico amid protests

The deportation of an immigrant mother in Phoenix who was granted leniency during the Obama administration provides an early example of how President Donald Trump plans to carry through on his vow to crack down on illegal immigration. The case of Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos became a rallying cry Thursday for immigrant groups who believe Trump's approach to immigration unfairly tears apart families.

President Trump, don’t deport me

I am one of an estimated 750,000 Dreamers, undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children, now facing possible deportation by President Donald Trump. I worry that the President - whose grandfather, mother and wife all immigrated to America - will turn my dream into a nightmare and throw me out of the land where I grew up.

Homeland Security chief tempers Trump illegal immigration promises

Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly tempered some of President Donald Trump's recent promises on curbing illegal immigration before a congressional panel on Tuesday, explaining that funding to cities that refuse to cooperate with immigration agents would only be cut on a case-by-case basis. Trump has threatened to cut large swaths of federal funding to about 300 so-called 'sanctuary cities' in order to pressure them to cooperate in the apprehension and deportation of illegal immigrants.

Trump Could Cut Border Enforcement

One scheme to make Mexico 'pay for the wall' could wind up encouraging more undocumented migrants to come to America, a report obtained by The Daily Beast shows. If the Trump administration follows through on veiled hints that it's considering cutting foreign aid to Mexico, it could shut down a program that blocks hundreds of thousands of immigrants at Mexico's southern border--keeping them from eventually entering the United States.

Court denies Trump request to immediately restore travel ban

A federal appeals court denied early Sunday the Justice Department's request for an immediate reinstatement of President Donald Trump's ban on accepting certain travellers and all refugees. The Trump administration appealed a temporary order restraining the ban nationwide, saying late Saturday night that the federal judge in Seattle overreached by "second-guessing" the president on a matter of national security.

It was just a couple of declarations made during a welcome, but we are heartened by statements Gov. Greg Abbott made last week that our U.S. trade relationship with Mexico is just as important as border security. Abbott made the statements while greeting Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly on his first visit to Texas and the Rio Grande Valley since he took over the agency last month.

Trump stands by voter fraud claims: ‘It’s really a bad situation’

President Trump in a new interview seemingly defends his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2016 election, maintaining that illegal immigrants and "dead people" around the U.S. were registered to vote. "Well, many people have come out and said I am right, you know that," Trump told Fox News's Bill O'Reilly in an interview slated to air Sunday.

Letter: Wall a waste of billions

If both parties were really serious addressing the issue of what to do about the 11 or 12 million illegal immigrants in the country, which I don't believe they are, then the answer is rather simple: Crack down on businesses and contractors that employ them and their visa overstays. Enact legislation that would impose a $50,000 fine for each illegal immigrant employed by a business or contractor after a six-month period.

When Boston gave sanctuary to slaves / HP hed: When the Feds Hunted Slaves in Boston

Trump's crackdown on undocumented immigrants earned the ire of the mayor of Boston, where in a similar case in 1854, the city fought to protect a runaway slave. In a press conference at City Hall last month, surrounded by elected officials and black, Latino, and Asian staff members, Boston's Mayor Marty Walsh delivered a scathing response to President Donald Trump 's promise to crack down on illegal immigration through executive order .

Why Trumpa s call to Australian leader was a worst by fara

It should have been one of the most congenial calls for the new commander in chief - a conversation with the leader of Australia, one of America's staunchest allies, at the end of a triumphant week. Instead, President Donald Trump blasted Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull over a refugee agreement and boasted about the magnitude of his electoral college win, according to senior U.S. officials briefed on the Saturday exchange.

Trump had heated exchange with Australian PM, talked a tough hombresa with Mexican leader

President Donald Trump's roller coaster ride toward diplomacy continued late Wednesday night with a tweet calling an Obama-era agreement with Australia to accept refugees a "dumb deal." During the US President's call with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Saturday, Trump objected to an agreement over the US receiving refugees, sources told CNN.

Malcolm Turnbull discovers Donald Trump doesn’t ‘make nice’

Malcolm Turnbull refused to confirm or deny whether Donald Trump hung up on him after calling the Nauru resettlement plan the "worst deal ever". No matter the differences between Washington and Canberra or personal disinterest between the respective leaders, any past prime minister could rely on any president to make the phone calls and visits look dignified and diplomatic, as befits a "special relationship".
