1…………> Trump New Immigration Tool: 287(g)

In the ever-flaming war between pro and anti-immigration forces in the US, the former trying to expel as many illegals as possible, while the latter being strongly determined to double the currently estimated 30 million migrants in order to change the demographic balance of the country, and consequently destroy the GOP, the 287(g) program of state and local law enforcement agencies in agreement with the DHS has been used to deputize a select few officers within their departments to enforce federal immigration laws in addition to their regular police duties.

Since the dispersion of illegals aliens varies greatly across the country, some deputized officers are generally authorized to question individuals about their immigration status, check DHS databases for such information, transfer non-citizens into ICE custody and launch deportation proceedings by issuing official Notices to Appear in immigration court. They are also able to enter personal data into the ICE database, recommend non-citizens for detention and immigration bond as well as voluntary departure and issue requests for immigration detainers to hold people until they can be taken into ICE custody.

 

The story of an illegal alien named Bernardo Gabriel whose family crossed the border from Mexico in 2004 and settled in the US is an eye-opening affidavit of the ups and downs of the family relentless confrontations with itself and the American system of justice.

2…………> Stash House: Texas

DHS ICE officers found 39 smuggled illegal aliens hidden in a suspected stash house awaiting transportation from their human smugglers when a search warrant was executed at a residence just south of Eagle Pass, Texas on May 23, leading to the arrest of one U.S. citizen who is a suspected human smuggler and was charged as such.

The temperature inside the residence was 114 degrees Fahrenheit when initial interviews of those discovered inside the residence indicated to authorities that they had limited access to water, and the group was of comprised mostly of men and women from the four countries of Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua.

1…………> Guatemalan Slave Drivers: WA

 
 Two Guatemalan nationals identified as Antonia Marcos Diego and her husband, Antonio Francisco-Pablo,  were today sentenced to prison in Tacoma, Washington, for their scheme to exploit other Guatemalan nationals for their own financial gain, by luring relatives with promises of better life, but instead loading them with debt and threats of deportation.
 

Antonio Francisco-Pablo, 60, residing in Forks, Washington, was sentenced to three years in prison for one count of forced labor. Antonia Marcos Diego, 42, also residing in Forks, Washington, was sentenced to one year of probation for one count of document servitude in furtherance of forced labor. At the sentencing hearing, U.S. District Judge Ronald B. Leighton described their crimes as a “despicable offense” and a “serious degree of exploitation.” 


“The defendants forced their own family members to work for no pay after luring them to the United States on false promises of a better life,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General John Gore. “The Department of Justice will continue to prosecute labor traffickers, who exploit vulnerable individuals for their own greed and erode the American ideals of freedom, opportunity, and the rule of law.”

Both defendants will pay $18,950 in restitution to the victims. Francisco-Pablo was in the U.S. unlawfully, and it is virtually certain that he will be deported following his prison term. Antonia Marcos Diego will be on probation for one year.

2…………> Dirty Money: Scotland LLP’s

Following a review of Scottish limited partnerships (SLPs) by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), the UK government unveiled plans to crack down on a business scheme which it says has been used to launder dirty foreign money, illegal activity that has been used to launder $80bn from Russia and into the EU markets.


“For some time we have called on the UK government to tighten the regulatory framework around Scottish Limited Partnerships. Therefore we welcome that new regulations are now being introduced on beneficial ownership. This is a complex landscape and we await with interest the detail of any additional new measures, following the wider review of limited partnership law. We remain fully committed to ensuring that SLPs engaged in criminal activity and those individuals and organizations who help facilitate that activity is held accountable for their actions,” A Scottish government spokesman declared.

3…………> Neo-Nazis Raising: Reichburger

While The Islamic Merkeldom of Germany’s domestic intelligence service has looked the other way when the so-called “Middle Eastern migrants”, including military age Al Nusra Brigade and IS young punks are committing crimes, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) has spent time and effort to estimate that there are about 18,000 people supporting the far-right Reichsbürger movement — about 80 percent more than in 2016, and about 950 of them were classified as far-right extremists.

The term Reichsbürger is used as a label for disorganized groups that reject the legitimacy of Germany’s government, rooted in the belief that the 1937 borders of the German Empire still exist and today’s government is an administrative construct in a country still occupied by foreign powers. Many subscribe to far-right or anti-Semitic ideologies.

4………….> A Middle Finger To US: Caravan

About 400 migrants from a Central American caravan are at the US-Mexico border, with some climbing the border wall ahead of making formal asylum claims that could land them in detention centers.

The month-long caravan that at one point gathered 1,500 immigrants from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador angered President Donald Trump who pressured Mexico to stop the migrants before they reached the border, linking Mexican efforts to stem the flow of Central Americans to the future of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which is currently being renegotiated in Washington.

“I feel a little cold. I feel anxious,” said Jaime Alexander from El Salvador in the morning, shaking slightly on his way to the Tijuana, Mexico side of the border fence on a Pacific Ocean beach.

5…………> Austria-China Train: Silk Road

A “Silk Road” train, carrying 41 containers of goods valued at 1.5 million U.S. dollars, including LED displays, tires, and lamps, departed from Chengdu, capital of southwest China’s Sichuan Province on the morning of April 12, and arrived in Vienna, Austria on Friday, April 29, an event which Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen described as a symbol of the cooperation between China and Austria.

It traveled over 6000 miles in 15 days through Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, and Slovakia, and slowly pulled into Vienna South Freight Center. From the station, the goods will be transported to the destination.

“This is really a symbol of the cooperation between China and Austria,” Van der Bellen told Xinhua. “We really hope this train is the first step of closer cooperation between China and Austria.”
