The acting defense secretary, Patrick Shanahan, notified Congress on Friday that he intended to shift $1.5 billion that had been designated for the war in Afghanistan and other projects to help pay for work on President Trump’s border wall
Pentagon spokesman, Tom Crosson, said the $1.5 billion would be used to “undertake fence replacement” in and around Tucson, Arizona, and El Centro, Texas
https://www.boston.com/news/politic...fting-1-5-billion-to-border-wall-construction
The Pentagon is expected to shift about $6.1 billion to help build a border wall, including about $3.6 billion from military construction projects, some of which will be delayed. The Pentagon has not yet announced which projects will be delayed in order to free up those funds.

CNN has obtained photos showing the dire conditions migrants are being held in at the McAllen, Texas, Border Patrol station. The photos show adults and children sleeping outside on the ground — in some cases on rocks — as well as packed into tents and covered with Mylar blankets. The photos were supplied by a source who said they were disturbed when they witnessed the conditions at the station over the weekend.
Responding to the report, an official from the Department of Homeland Security said, “The border security and humanitarian crisis continues to worsen. Current facilities and funding are inadequate for migrant flows.”

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
Appeals court finds Trump administration’s move to end DACA ‘arbitrary and capricious’
May 17, 2019
A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the Trump administration had been “arbitrary and capricious” in its bid to end an Obama-era program that shields young undocumented immigrants from deportation.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit partially reversed an earlier ruling in the case brought by the immigrant advocacy organization CASA de Maryland.
In a 2-to-1 decision, the court said the government had failed to “give a reasoned explanation for the change in policy, particularly given the significant” interests involved, according to the majority opinion written by Judge Albert Diaz and joined by Judge Robert King.

Separated Children Dying In U.S. Custody, So Republicans Remove Democrat's Remarks From Record
She (Rep. Lauren Underwood (IL-14) said the deaths were the result of an intentional policy decision, which they are. But Republicans didn't like the sound of that, naturally. So they had her remarks removed from the official record.
After some wrangling, a vote was taken on whether her comments should be stricken from the permanent record. And you'd be as surprised as I was to learn that, even though Democrats now control the committee, the motion passed. Huh? All the Trump sycophants Republicans voted to censor, but because ten Democrats were not in attendance, the motion passed and her remarks were stricken from the record.
See, if you're going to fight against (Trump sycophants ) Republican lawlessness, it'd probably be a good idea to show up.

immigration agents showed up at her home on Chicago’s South Side.
I.C.E agents arrested Rendón Madrid, a student pastor at an Evangelical

Carlos Hincapie Giraldo. The couple’s 26-year-old daughter,

(I.C.E pretended to be the police, stopping Paul for traffic violation.-
“Paula asked I.C.E to identify themselves three times, but they refused.”
“On the fourth try, they answered.” )
- Chicago Sun Times
Hincapie Rendón said that while she was handcuffed and
placed inside another vehicle, ICE agents drove her car —
with her daughter Layla still inside — to her parents’ home
Paula recalled hearing her daughter crying during the ordeal.
“They tricked me into thinking they were taking my daughter to my parents’ house."
"They then detained my parents,” Hincapie Rendón said.
“I feel like they violated our rights.”
Hincapie Rendón’s 60-year-old father was outside and just
about to leave for work when he was arrested by I.C.E.
The officials then went inside the home and detained

I.C.E. denied the mother and father's application to halt the deportation.
the end of the holiday weekend, Rendón Madrid and Hincapie Giraldo
had been moved to Louisiana to await the next flight to Colombia.

May 8 Their daughter Paula was driving their grandaughter Layla to school.
She was stopped by an unmarked car and taken into custody
by officials she soon learned were federal immigration agents.
(I.C.E pretended to be the police, stopping Paul for traffic violation.-
“Paula asked I.C.E to identify themselves three times, but they refused.”
“On the fourth try, they answered.” )
- Chicago Sun Times
Hincapie Rendón said that while she was handcuffed and
placed inside another vehicle, ICE agents drove her car —
with her daughter Layla still inside — to her parents’ home
Paula recalled hearing her daughter crying during the ordeal.
“They tricked me into thinking they were taking my daughter to my parents’ house."
"They then detained my parents,” Hincapie Rendón said.
“I feel like they violated our rights.”
Hincapie Rendón’s 60-year-old father was outside and just
about to leave for work when he was arrested by I.C.E.
The officials then went inside the home and detained
Rendón Madrid, 53, who was still wearing her pajamas.

NACLA Report

Children are dying in #ICE detention, and asylum-seekers are being sent
to Juárez to wait until 2020 for hearings, while their identity documents
are confiscated. These are the latest developments of "zero tolerance" i
mmigration policy.
7:05 AM - 30 May 2019
In a twist that only Kafka could have imagined, the attorney representing the Department of Homeland Security said that if he withdrew from MPP, the man would be detained, because without MPP status, he would not have legal permission to travel through Mexico. The agency did take him back to Mexico that day, but kept his Salvadoran identity document. After several days, he managed to travel by bus back to his town in El Salvador, and the U.S. government agreed to close his case without prejudice (meaning without a deportation order on his record) but his documents have not been returned, thus making life in El Salvador even more difficult than before he left.
When people return from court in El Paso, they are on their own to find shelter in Juárez. The Catholic diocese and other churches provide most shelter space with little financial support from the Chihuahua state or Mexican federal government. People usually have no documents since CBP takes these away when they are initially detained. They have no legal permit to live, work, or travel in Mexico, though many find jobs in the informal sector; others report being recruited by criminal organizations to sell drugs, or even to carry out assassinations. Migrants report having been robbed, kidnapped, or extorted. According to local media, nearly 600 people have been murdered in Juárez so far this year, including three Honduran migrants who were killed on May 3.

CBP is confiscating asylum seekers' documents while they
"remain in Mexico." Asylum seekers are now being given
initial court dates of Feb. 2020. This means they have no
legal permit to live, work, or travel in Mexico--i.e.
return home.
There should be more reporting on this.

Extending 'Zero Tolerance' To People Who Help Migrants Along The Border
Arrests of people for harboring, sheltering, leaving food and water or otherwise protecting migrants have been on the rise since 2017, when then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered federal prosecutors to prioritize cases covered under the harboring statute.

She Saved A Girl from Dying, But the Border Patrol Put her investigation for human smuggling
Nine and half hours away by car from Ajo, in the west Texas town of Marfa, another case is unfolding that pits the government against a four-time elected city and county attorney, Teresa Todd.
The young man told Todd that his sister, 18-year-old Esmeralda, was in trouble.
"I mean, she can hardly walk, she's very dazed," recalled Todd.
The migrants took shelter in Todd's car while she called and texted a friend who is the legal counsel for the local U.S. Border Patrol, asking for advice. Before that friend could reply, a sheriff's deputy showed up. The deputy called in the U.S. Border Patrol.
An agent was soon reading Todd her Miranda rights. Eight days later, a Department of Homeland Security investigator accompanied by a Texas Ranger arrived at Todd's office with a search warrant for her cellphone. Todd says she was told she'd have the phone back in a matter of hours.
"It makes people have to question, 'Can I be compassionate'?"
Speaking by phone from the migrant detention center in Sierra Blanca, Texas, Esmeralda said of Todd, "I'm really grateful to her." She said doctors told her she was on the brink of death by the time she got to the hospital.

A film exposed what Border Agents did at the border.
The next thing that happened, is that they arrested Scott Warren.
SCOTT WARREN: Thanks. I was at the Barn, which is a property in Ajo.
And at some point, they said that they saw me speaking with two men who they somehow determined to be illegally present in the United States.
And so, they set up kind of an operation to raid the Barn, through what they called a knock-and-talk operation. And so, about 5:30, late in the afternoon, early evening, a kind of a convoy of Border Patrol and sheriff’s deputy vehicles entered the Barn, the property there, and at that point I had informed them that they were on private property, and they didn’t have a right to be there. And they persisted and sort of went to the entrance of the Barn. And by the time I kind of arrived at the entrance, where they were kind of looking inside the building, they had already had these two men, who were, they determined to be, illegally present in the country, and they were sort of detaining them. And then, at that point, they informed me that they were going to arrest me and that I was being arrested for harboring.
CATHERINE GAFFNEY: That’s right. And this is really a somber moment for us, as we go to trial today. Scott is being prosecuted for, as you mentioned, providing food, water, clean clothes and beds to two people who asked him for help. So, what we’ve seen in No More Deaths recently is really an escalation of a long-standing war on the lives of undocumented migrants and undocumented communities in this country. The crisis of deaths and disappearances on the border has been ongoing. There’s more than 7,000 known deaths in the last two decades, and, as Scott said, that’s a vast undercounting of the true number of people who have died or gone missing. But what we’ve really seen in the last several years is a ramping up of attacks, not only directly on the lives of undocumented people crossing through the border, but also on those who make it their work to stop and help people and try to prevent these deaths and suffering.

(Prison camp) for migrant teens in Florida
Has 3,000 minors, some as young as 13 —
is set in the second most vulnerable hurricane zone
in coastal South Florida, an area that bore the full
fury of Category 5 Hurricane Andrew, leaving it in
utter ruin.
Caliburn, the company that actually operates the (prison camp)
said Friday it would not comment, deferring to HHS.
Frank Rollason, director of emergency management for Miami-Dade County, told the Herald that federal officials are “doing their own thing.”
“They are self contained. Our involvement with the Homestead shelter is next to nothing. They have not reached out to us, or Miami-Dade County Public Schools, about sheltering these kids come a hurricane,” Rollason said, confirming that there are no plans to house the minors in county hurricane shelters.

Well; there are some of us here who would describe the Clintons
more along the line as the Clantons
In one picture, we see women, babies, and children sleeping on rocks
and sand, sleeping under cheap mylar "blankets." They are not going
anyhere. They are surrounded by chain link fence. Border Patrol has
no humane place to put them. No overpass for a roof this time, just
the sky.
In this picture, we see a five star hotel.
Westminster, London, UK
"Donald Trump, known for his love of extravagant decor, has booked
an entire floor of the Corinthia Hotel for his family and extended
entourage for this week’s state visit to Britain."
"The US President will be accompanied by wife Melania and four
of his five children for the visit, which begins tomorrow."
The luxurious hotel, which has its own branch of Harrods and
a huge spa spread over four floors, featured last year in the
two-part BBC1 documentary -
A Hotel For The Super-Rich And Famous.
