NEW: The family of Mahmoud Khalil have just released footage of his arrest. It’s distressing.

“Stop resisting”

“He’s not resisting”

The men who take him are in plain clothes and in unmarked cars. They refuse to give their names or even say what agency they’re from.

He is just disappeared.

The US produces very little aluminum. We cannot start producing aluminum for many years because feasibility studies, new power contracts, and permits to open aluminum plants take years. This kind of tariff does absolutely nothing to create jobs in the US. It simply regressively taxes Americans.
