#Trump has halted virtually all #refugee admissions for people fleeing #famine & #war from places like #Sudan & the Democratic Republic of #Congo. But he has created an expedited path into the country for #Afrikaners, a #white ethnic minority that created & led the brutal #apartheid regime in #SouthAfrica.
The refugee process often takes years. But only 3 months have passed from the time Trump signed an EO establishing refugee status for Afrikaners….
#Protests continue outside the concentration camp where they illegally abducted the mayor of Newark.

Gov. Abbott supports a bill in Texas that is being hyped as a "furries" bill.
When you read it, it's a draconian ban on a common form of children's play: dressing up.
But really, the goal here is to stoke anti-LGBTQ hysteria.

@mimarek I'm sure they'll make up for their treatment of Afghanis by treating the incoming group of South Africans like kings. /sarcasm
@BrianHarrod No wonder my brother and sister-in-law decided not to fly to visit us in July and drive instead.

@ericcurts My favorite ISTE was in San Antonio.
#Trading records examined by NYT show that a flurry of purchases of the $TRUMP token started the day before the coin’s backers disclosed the contest. Information had leaked about the upcoming promotion, allowing certain parties to make early bets that the market price was about to jump, the records suggest.

Martin Diaz came to the U.S. as a toddler, fleeing cartel violence with his family. They had proof of the danger—a letter from a Michoacán official. He married a U.S. citizen & was advancing his visa.
Then ICE showed up at his home in Spokane: no warrant, no ID.
Now Martin’s the one charged—with assaulting them. But the video shows who was really assaulted. This is how ICE operates: lie, escalate, and disappear people.

they are ICE forms signed by ICE officers
and they do not grant authority to enter a home without consent of the occupant(s).
