A useful read to anyone of targeted immigration status who wants to fly domestically. It would be good to have a plan for what to do when the red X comes up. For you and your friends.
I spoke with Any Lucía López Belloza, the Babson College student who was on her way to surprise her family for Thanksgiving when ICE deported her.

"My 5-year-old sister still believes that I might go home for Christmas," she tells me.

BASH: The president said very clearly this week he doesn't want Somali immigrants in America. He called them 'garbage.' Is that the real reason this operation is happening?

HOMAN: No. I think President Trump is referring to public safety threats & natl security threats

BASH: He didn't say that

All across Europe, as well as in Japan, Korea and Taiwan, US allies are reading Trump's national security strategy and realizing that it was authored by people who view them as enemies while idolizing Vladimir Putin and plagiarizing from his recent speeches.

ICE Barbie bragging about blowing off a federal judge isn’t bold it’s lawless. The court concluded there is “probable cause” to hold the government in criminal contempt for willfully violating his order. Something needs to be done now!

While Trump rode “the economy” back into power now it’s the very thing dragging his approval underwater. Voters aren’t buying the lame excuses anymore, and the polling trend is starting to look like the real recession he refuses to admit exists.

Hands down least “masculine” person I met covering tech. One lunch I had with him in Palo Alto (he was urging me to run for mayor and wanted to give me $) I recall thinking what an incredibly whiny boy (I think I told someone at the time: what a limp dick) and could not get away fast enough.

I may be overdoing it with the optimism, but I think it’s good to have if black on white. Makes it easier for (or forces) European politicians to adjust.

Also, the policy spelled out in the strategy to interfere in European affairs for the benefit of the far right hopefully backfires.
The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:

The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.
