President Donald Trump is inflicting “terror” on communities all around the country with his masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents randomly kidnapping people, Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin told MSNBC’s Jason Johnson on Thursday evening and it’s driving a huge part of the backlash against his administration.”One quick question,” said Johnson. “Every single day, we’re seeing viral videos of ICE agents breaking into homes, attacking people, threatening people, tear-gassing people who are American citizens. We have major elections in cities across America who are being threatened by ICE. Would the Democratic Party be willing to come out as aggressive against ICE as Republicans have against the Department of Education? Would the Democratic Party be willing to say, ‘We will abolish ICE if we take control of the White House in 2028?’ What is your position on ICE moving forward as the head of the DNC? Well, listen, I think what we’ve seen in terms of how this administration has used ICE and weaponized it, having masked thugs, you know, terrorizing communities I’m in LA today, East LA, in fact. And I will tell you, what’s happening out there again is not by accident,” said Martin. “It’s by design to intimidate, to harass, to terrorize communities, to have people live in a constant state of fear. There’s no doubt about it.”As for actually abolishing ICE, he added, that’s a conversation for the future; however, “I will tell you what. You don’t weaponize it in the way that Donald Trump and the Republicans have, that’s for sure. Right? You don’t use our federal government to attack its own people, to terrorize communities. You know, I was talking to a mental health therapist earlier today who was telling me that they have a number of clinics in LA and the number of children coming in who are having generational trauma because they’re seeing their parents and grandparents disappeared right in front of their eyes and snatched and, you know, not coming home for days I mean, this is the type of terror that Donald Trump and his administration and his agencies are inflicting on Americans,” said Martin.”Again, that’s why we’ve seen a huge swing away from Donald Trump at this moment, right?” he added. “Those again, I want to reiterate, it wasn’t just Democrats who showed up at those ‘No Kings’ rallies. It was Americans who are pissed off because they are seeing their Constitution shredded in front of their eyes.” YouTube www. youtube. com.

Trump sued over botched rollout of steep new fee — with no way to pay

by admin 2025 年 10 月 21 日 general

President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” has run into an unforeseen snag that has triggered a lawsuit. The legislation, signed by Trump earlier this year, cuts over $1 trillion in Medicaid and food assistance programs, and phases out renewable energy and electric vehicle credits, while extending enormous tax cuts that go almost exclusively to wealthy voters. But one of the lesser-discussed changes this bill made was to impose a $100 annual fee on asylum seekers in the United States. According to Politico, however, this was set up in such an unclear way that there isn’t even a way for asylum seekers to pay this fee, leading to a lawsuit against the administration.”The fees, which are new, were part of the GOP’s domestic policy and tax law President Donald Trump signed on July 4, but the administration’s rollout has been plagued by mishaps: The two agencies collecting the fees initially released different instructions, and only one has offered a vehicle to pay the annual fee,” said the report. “Payment notices to asylum seekers have been sporadic, and misinformation has run rampant on social media.”Some asylum seekers are afraid that the inability to pay will be used as an excuse to remove them from the country. Meanwhile, “Some asylum seekers who have opted to pay the immigration courts $100 say there’s no way to know whether that’s the correct way to pay or whether the federal government will ask them to pay again.”“It just feels like people are being cornered from every angle, and the lack of clarity just causes that much more fear and intimidation,” Boston area immigration lawyer Robin Nice told Politico. “It’s hard to know if it’s weaponized incompetence in how they’re rolling it out, or if it’s straight up malicious . but it’s really hard to advise clients.”American Immigration Council fellow Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a frequent critic of the Trump administration’s immigration policies, was aghast at the development.”Here’s how badly managed the Trump admin is; asylum seekers had to file a class action lawsuit because they were ordered to pay a fee but there was no payment system set up to accept their money,” he wrote in a post on X.
