Trump considers mobilizing national guard for immigration roundups, memo suggests
- Trump supporters will love this and see nothing wrong with it as terrifying as it would be.kona
- maybe it has something to do with the 'sanctuary' cities. Council won't use city resources to help ICE so forced to use federal? bad optics, regardlessGnash

ICE Phoenix officers deport convicted felon to Mexico to face 1999 kidnapping charges
Sebastian Medina-Cuabras, aka Carlos Lopez-Barraza, 39,was transferred to the custody of representatives from Mexico’s Procuraduria General de la Republica (PGR) and Mexican immigration officials by ERO officers at the Nogales (Arizona) DeConcini Port of Entry.
According to the arrest warrant issued by Mexican authorities, Medina-Cuabras is wanted for a kidnapping where he and three other individuals organized, prepared and executed a ransom plot in August 1999. Details of the Mexican arrest warrant indicate that Medina-Cuabras and other assailants abducted a man and took him to a home where he was kept blindfolded and his feet and hands bound. Police eventually gained entry into the home and rescued the victim. Medina-Cuabras, fled to the United States shortly afterwards to avoid prosecution.
Medina-Cuabras entered ICE custody Thursday after completing his 17-year prison sentence at the Arizona Department of Corrections following his conviction for aggravated assault (a dangerous crime against children in the first degree, a class 2 felony). Court documents from February 2000, indicate that Medina-Cuabras was involved in a road-rage altercation that erupted between him and the driver of another vehicle with seven passengers which included six minors. As the verbal altercation escalated, Medina-Cuabras opened fire at the other vehicle, striking a 7-year-old boy on his leg. Medina-Cuabras attempted a quick get-away but the driver of the other vehicle chased him. A police officer, who observed the chase, pursued Medina-Cuabras and eventually took him into custody. Police found a semi-automatic weapon and a handgun in Medina-Cuabra’s vehicle.
“ICE will continue to remove those who pose a threat to public safety especially those who’ve harmed our children,” said Henry Lucero, field office director of ERO Phoenix. “America is not a safe haven for those who are fleeing prosecution in their home countries. We are firmly committed to ensuring that foreign fugitives will be are returned to face justice for the criminal acts that they have perpetrated abroad.”
- Kona is gonna flip and be like, that's my man-baby. bring him back. he didn't do anything wrong. as horrific as that would be.omg
- Mono, "do you feel safe yet?"omg
- omg, you might have lost it. do you want to talk ever? I'll listen.capn_ron
- no change in policy since the obama administration. these raids happened under him as well, focusing on violent offenderssarahfailin
- so ... mexican criminal comes here, gets in trouble, spends 17 years in US prison for it and is getting deported ... what's your point?monospaced
- He was arrested during the Clinton administration.monospaced
- Aside from the political views and justifying the morality. This guy is already in custody with no cares for his victims or future preventive measures.omg
- What concerning are two points that hold back progression is falsely labeling this as racism, or thinking Trump is the issue.omg
- what point does this prove or is this another fake Trump victory?!? Dude was incarcerated and transferred to Mexico per the warrant. VICTORY!!!!whatthefunk
- In addition, this story was not mentioned anywhere by MSM. Rather a few blogs, with credible sources.omg
- ummm ... nobody's justifying the immorality of criminal activity, and putting the guy in prison for most of his life is a pretty strong measuremonospaced
- and nobody said it was racist either ... are you making shit up again?monospaced
- Then people start saying it's racist and walls won't protect folks from these bad people with guns and expect to harbor them with tax dollars.omg
- lol omg - I feel for you.fadein11
- omg - you do know noone here thinks it's racist to deport felony convicted criminals? And that this example has absolutely nothing to do with Trump's ridiculousfadein11
- ban on immigrants? What is your point. It makes no sense.fadein11
- but you do know that the ban is not on immigrants as a whole as folks try to portray. Immigrants are allowed from 80 other countries.omg
- correction: 180 other countries (approx)omg
- the point is that it seems that there are many people working in the shadows of our government trying to prevent the protection of America.omg
- what do you thinks capn_ron?omg
- but the threat is already inside your country omg, terror is the least of your problems - it's all spin - divide and conquer.fadein11
- out of hundreds of issues, terror is considered to be at the top.omg
- The economy being the number one answer.omg
- omfg, do you get sick from eating your own shit or has your body just adjusted to the toxic waste?monospaced
- Why is terror the top issue though? Just hysteria. You are more likely to be struck by lightening than killed by terrorism.yuekit
- does that account for every car, boat, plane, tall building and surge protector ensuring safety from lightning?omg
- omg - I suggest you do some more research into the history of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism and it's roots and heyday - the 1970's. That was the time tofadein11
- worry about terrorism if there ver was a time because even then the death toll was miniscule compared to your own citizens. You may also want to ask whyfadein11
- what does this man's story or Trump's stupid shit wall have to do with terrorism, you fucking moronic trollmonospaced
- your man has opted out of the 2 state solution in Israel/Palestine - probably the only solution to the original root cause of the so called 'threat'.fadein11
- you spend a lot of time talking about perceived threats which you don't seem to know anything about.fadein11
- ever*fadein11
- do some of that critical thinking you talk a lot about and don't get brainwashed so easily.fadein11
- These same perceived threats were around before 9/11. Point being you don't wait for disaster to occur or wait for cancer to grow before you get rid of it.omg

- https://firstlook.or…yuekit
- http://waronirration…yuekit
- omg, so you were posting about the deportation of a mexican criminal who spent most of his life in US prison and more in Mexican prison because?monospaced
- I just want to note that the threat against lightning is protected by commercial enterprises and engineers who provided solutions for adequate protection.omg
- also that 2nd chart you sent is wrong because 3105 deaths and 9388 injuries since 9/11 not 26 people. that's ridiculousomg
- there have not been 3105 deaths from muslim extremists in the USmonospaced
- 3rd chart is also very inaccurate. suggesting 4.6 deaths avg in last 5 years due to terrorism. We've already had 6 deaths in 2017 due to Islamic Terrorism.omg
- omg = fake newsyuekit
- Unless they made that chart for 2004-2009 to account for such low numbers. Pre War on ISIL nonethelessomg
- lol - another suckerfadein11
- omg, that brings the average up 0.6 to a whopping 5 per year in the last 6 years ... better?monospaced
- You really need a dictionary so you can look up the definition of "very" and also "inaccurate." You're so fucking clueless.monospaced
- Yeah, if you throw in 2004-2009 onto that, the average drops well below 4. That's using real facts. You are the most idiotic troll I've seen since yuri.monospaced
- If you compare terrorist deaths to War on ISIL, you see how it's causing terrorism here in the states.omg
- We had good four years without to minimal islamic terrorism from 2002-2008omg
- but something happened in 2009 that caused terrorism to rise.omg
- and it wasn't any war because we were already in a prior War in Afghanistan and Iraqomg
- haha - good luck omg. what do you think caused 9/11 out of interest?fadein11
- Since 9/11 almost 13,000 US civilians, died or injured from terrorist attacks. (15 year timespan)omg
- oh and just in case you hadn't noticed - the only people who suffer from ISIS / terror etc. on a large scale are the exact people your silly president justfadein11
- blocked from entering. And suffering in their millions. Not a handful of deaths from a few lone wolf American citizen copycat 'terrorists'... Sad!fadein11
- I guess us Brits get the complexities of terrorism having grown up surrounded by it. It really isn't the pantomime good guy / bad guy thing you think it isfadein11
- @fadein11-Osama Bin Laden.omg
- Ask where that hatred comes fromfadein11
- Its not like I don't understand humanitarian concerns, but first priorities for any President are its citizens.omg
- Osama Bin Laden's beliefs and ideologies.omg
- and why did Osama Bin Laden hate America so much? Why? I am not justifying the actions in the slightest, never (if he was responsible) but why do you think hefadein11
- hated your nation so much?fadein11
- Why do you think the IRA hated the British so much? Why do you think some Palestinians hated Israel so much?fadein11
- It's really not complicated.fadein11
- The historical inheritance eludes me.omg
- I rest my case. Nite nite.fadein11
- Lol, were you trying to make a case. If so mind filling me in?omg
- okay I will spell it out for you - Obama didn't create terrorism/ISIS. And closing your doors to the victims of said terror will make matters worse. Geddit?fadein11
- Oh my historical reference went back 300 years. I didn't know you were in 2009omg
- this is a good book - I will dig out some more for your reading list, getting off here now, have a nice eve:
https://tinyurl.com/…fadein11 - Let's see how it pans out under Trump - I think we can all agree we want less hate/death in the world. Don't we?fadein11
- none of what you're discussing is in any way related to omg's obsession over this man who's spent most of his life in prison for his crimesmonospaced
- Everything I have said relates to omg's world view mono - 100%fadein11
- Don't you think Descent into Chaos (2008) would be dated considering it's blind to Obama, and the rise of ISIS and ISIL?omg
- Ghost Wars (2016) looks more interesting.omg
- erm nope not dated at all as it covers the origins of the chaos excellently - but keep blaming obama if you wishfadein11
- So 1st concern for any president of the richest nation in the world is only it's citizens... great - what a bright fututre for the world. haha. enjoy trump -fadein11
- you will be eating shit soon.fadein11

MERIDIAN, IDAHO
A pet squirrel named Joey chased off a burglar last week by scratching the teen suspect when he tried to break into a gun safe, police said.The unidentified teenager told officers that the squirrel’s attack “scared him, obviously, because he wasn’t expecting to have, you know, a squirrel come flying out of nowhere at him,” said Officer Ashley Turner of the police department in Meridian, a Boise suburb. “So basically he said he took what he could and left as fast as he could.”
- Why doesn't Trump just put 200,000 squirrels on our border to patrol? Seems like a plan he could hash up.kona

Anyone have any thoughts on the possibility of Trump, and his crew, destabilizing the US to the point that the dollar ceases to make sense as a reserve currency?
- I think your 'checks and balances' would go into overdrive before that could happen, and we'd likely have another Kennedy event on our hands.detritus
- I appreciate your optimism.R_Kercz

- The Illuminati would never allow it™BonSeff
- the US has, if you believe some theorists (conspirational or otherwise), gone to war to ensure the PetroDollar's kept in supremacy.What's a hit between friends?detritus
- I wonder how many plans the varying wings of the CIA have mooted to 'deal' with Trump.detritus
- numerous, I would think... Trump's shenanigans are keeping a lot of people busy right now...BuddhaHat
- @det - yep I imagine the wheels are in motion - and guess who's gonna get the blame - omg's no.1 enemy - immigrants.fadein11
- @fadein #1 enemy is the economy, not immigrants.omg
- Wondering how the missing 9 Trillion missing from Federal Reserve affects anything.
https://www.youtube.…omg - This is more of a lack of accounting than 'lost' money that's been laundered into black operations. This was debunked a while ago but is stillkona
- (obviously) cannon fodder for Trump supporting idiots everywhere.kona
- They did not lose the money. They spent the money. They even accounted for the money. They simply did not account for every single transaction in enough detailkona
- to satisfy the requirements for a full audit. But yeah, go ahead and stick to stupid.kona
- that's an obvious bait and switch from omg on the economy too, who has been posting ICE raid links and stuff about immigrants for ages... what a troll.BuddhaHat
- But the crap he's been watching has obviously changed speeds, and now he's all about the economy, y'all. His YT link is from an 'Illuminati expert'. Shite.BuddhaHat
- BuddahHat- If the economy sucks, and buttheads lose 9 Trillion dollars, how are you supposed to afford to keep all your criminal friends?omg
- keep running with that bait and switch like you're deeply committed to it, omg... are you going to blame Hillary for the economy?BuddhaHat
- Bait and switch? Illegal immigration wasn't a problem because of their ethnicity. It was always an issue on its effect on the economy and crime.omg
- yeah, all those below minimum wage jobs that americans were clambering over each other to fill were 'stolen' by dirty immigrants...BuddhaHat
- I'd like to see you make a valid case for the 20% import tax having a positive effect on the economy. go on. have a crack at it. use a spreadsheet if it helps.BuddhaHat
- you'll ignore the price increases on a huge range of consumer products, that consumer purchases represent a huge portion of economic activityBuddhaHat
- and that the reduced buying power of the average consumer will have a downward effect on consumer activity...BuddhaHat
- go on, have a shot.BuddhaHat

A suspicious pattern is emerging for how the White House handles its most controversial plans
http://www.businessinsider.com/w…
The White House quickly denied an explosive Associated Press report published Friday morning that said the Department of Homeland Security was seeking to mobilize 100,000 National Guard troops to round up and deport immigrants living in the US illegally.
"It is false," the White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, said, according to a pool report. "It is irresponsible to be saying this. There is no effort at all to round up, to utilize the National Guard to round up illegal immigrants."
"I wish you guys had asked before you tweeted," Spicer added.
The incident reflects an emerging pattern noted by several top political reporters in how the Trump administration handles its most controversial policy proposals, and undermines the press in the process:
1. Wait for a draft memo of a proposal to be leaked to the press.
2. Refuse to comment when asked about the draft.
3. Wait to dispute a story's accuracy until the story is published.
4. Accuse the press of never having sought comment to begin with.Trump has followed this pattern closely. In a press conference on Thursday, he dismissed reports about his campaign team's communication with Russia as "fake news," and said that the Wall Street Journal and New York Times had never asked him for comment before publishing their respective stories. Both outlets, however, either included a White House denial or stated that the White House did not respond to requests for comment.
- In the fast-moving media space it's an effective way of perpetuating the farce of 'fake news'... it's also sickening to think there's a method to the madnessBuddhaHat
- so swampy but those emails though right omg!?
imbeciles. look what you have done.kona - I wonder if they are sending out info through people in the office they may think is leaking info. Or doing it themselves to claim fake news.capn_ron
- There's such an apparent disinformation hustle going on here, I thought this stuff went a lot smoother...whatthefunk

Trump family’s elaborate lifestyle is a ‘logistical nightmare’ — at taxpayer expense
On Friday, President Trump and his entourage will jet for the third straight weekend to a working getaway at his oceanfront Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla.
On Saturday, Trump’s sons Eric and Don Jr., with their Secret Service details in tow, will be nearly 8,000 miles away in the United Arab Emirates, attending the grand opening of a Trump-brand golf resort in the “Beverly Hills of Dubai.”

I just have no words anymore. How's that swamp OMG!?!
- The swamp has runneth overRamanisky2
- How can he see the swamp with his head buried deep in the sand? All he gets are tweets from Donald Trump and a dedicated feed from InfoWars down there.monospaced
- I'd like to hear him talk about how fantastically, tremendously well Trump did at his press conference yesterday... just tremendous; such a smart guy.BuddhaHat
- ...funny, no travel ban for Dubai residents recently.see_thru
- Funny how that worked out eh see_thru... having a golf resort there and all. So swampy and sad.kona
- ffs, these guys don't use maps or charts? The entire article could have been placed in one spreadsheet.omg
- You're all about anything that requires you to read less and use your non-existent critical thinking skills, aren't you omg? where are the pictures?!? *drool*..BuddhaHat
- It's not about reading less you dope. It's about saving time to read more.omg
- You don't need graphs to understand that expenses for time at Mar-a-Lago go into Trump's pocket, making him a corrupt asshole. You just need a brain.BuddhaHat
- lol omg reads really slowlymonospaced
- and a spreadsheet doesn't make a news article. a document with mostly words in it makes an article, which is what news sites do.BuddhaHat
- let's not forget the cost-savings for Trump's organisation sending his son to Dubai on the govt dollar for a hotel promotion is also corrupt. You can't see it.BuddhaHat
- Considering Trump's lavish lifestyle. Giving him a 120/hr per mo. on Air Force One. He's still costs half compared Obama $1.4 Billion expense on security.omg
- you have absolutely no proof of that. maybe you've got one of your magic spreadsheets you'd like to share?BuddhaHat
- I say 'no proof', and 'magic', because Trump's costs haven't accumulated yet, and they only way you could say that is if you pulled it out of your ass.BuddhaHat
- Alex jones must've shoved it really really really far up your ass until it caused permanent brain damage. He's only
Pulling out little pieces that break offmonospaced - it's the brain damage preventing him from seeing or acknowledging any form of corruption in these practices, it would seem...BuddhaHat
- https://i.imgur.com/…omg
- that childishly simplistic spreadsheet doesn't even come close to covering all of Trump's costs. where's his son's trip to Dubai with Sec. Service in tow?BuddhaHat
- and maybe some of Obama's costs are from travelling abroad and furthering the national interest? other countries won't even touch Trump right now.BuddhaHat
- i can only assume that spreadsheet was from InfoWars or somewhere else similarly spuriousBuddhaHat
- had you gotten this spreadsheet, wouldn't it have been easier and faster than reading that brainwash of an article?omg
- show one shred of integrity and concede that Trump is personally profiting from some of those costs you have listed in the spreadsheet you provided.BuddhaHat
- all the information came from that article you read.omg
- and obama's security budget from investopiaomg
- spreadsheet came from omgomg
- you're just lying now, where is the line item for the Dubai trip? Will you make the concession that he's personally profiting from these costs to the taxpayer?BuddhaHat
- from the article: "Judicial Watch estimated that Obama-related travel expenses totaled nearly $97 million over eight years."BuddhaHat
- "But based on the first four weeks, Trump’s presidency appears on track to cost hundreds of millions of dollars more."BuddhaHat
- oh, the spreadsheet came from omg? OMG, THE MOST RELIABLE OF ALL SOURCES. Fuck me, your stupidity is stupefying. Eat shit, troll.BuddhaHat
- no wonder I said it's childishly simplistic, you fucking wrote itBuddhaHat
- updated:
https://i.imgur.com/…omg - I was pretty giving with those Air Force One rollover hours BTW.omg
- If you won't make the concession that Trump is personally profiting from this, then that's the end of the conversation. A spreadsheet that YOU wrote is useless.BuddhaHat
- you have precisely zero credibility as an auditor of the costs of managing presidential security. in fact, you have less than zero credibility on this matter,BuddhaHat
- because of the fact you won't make the concession that the president is engaging in corrupt activities.BuddhaHat
- After paying wages, electric, phone, cable, food, supplies... how do you know if he's profiting over the 3 times he stays at the mar-a-lago. pocket changeomg
- if any profits are made, it'll be on the real estate itself.omg
- You have no proof of that statement either, and whether Mar-a-Lago is a viable business entity is beside the point. His business is receiving taxpayer money.BuddhaHat
- let's not forget Trump isn't getting paid for his services as President which is $400,000omg
- Will you concede that point?BuddhaHat
- a simple yes or no will sufficeBuddhaHat
- like i said, what profits? if the business loses, then that would make it okay?omg
- it's honest money to the hotel and employees.omg
- go fuck yourself omg, go back to shitting in your hands and eating it, i'm done with you.BuddhaHat

What a Failed Trump Administration Looks Like
I still have trouble seeing how the Trump administration survives a full term. Judging by his Thursday press conference, President Trump’s mental state is like a train that long ago left freewheeling and iconoclastic, has raced through indulgent, chaotic and unnerving, and is now careening past unhinged, unmoored and unglued.
