JFC this would likely destabilize the entire region.
The Pentagon's top spokesman on Friday denied a report that the U.S. is considering the withdrawal of thousands of U.S. troops from South Korea, in a move that would unnerve Washington's allies in Asia, including Japan.
Pentagon denies report of U.S. troop withdrawal plan for South Korea

James Comer is a stupid, bootlicking, fascist. I'll be glad when he gets what all fascists deserve.
Chair Comer denied our request for an official trip to El Salvador to advocate for due process and the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Pretty shameful.
Good thing I don’t need Comer’s permission to get on a plane.

This may have been true before January 20, 2025. Now it seems, ICE detains whoever “looks like someone they don’t want in the country” or someone with tattoos.

An unappreciated part of this story: the person doing the arrest wasn't an ICE agent, it was an ATF agent.
According to Reuters, 4 out of every 5 ATF agents has been reassigned to do immigration enforcement. So it's a great time to be a gun runner in the United States.

why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been.
What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.
