State legislatures across the country are accelerating efforts to shape immigration enforcement policy after the deadly shooting of a Minnesota woman by a federal agent, raising tensions between local leaders and the Trump administration.

From California to New York and Illinois to New Jersey, they’re pushing a range of bills aimed at limiting enforcement and protecting people targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while turning up the rhetoric with comparisons to the Gestapo.

 

Within hours, however, Trump’s hopes were dashed by the Norwegian Nobel Institute, which said its rules do not permit the passing on of its coveted prize to someone else. A spokesperson told the Daily Beast on Friday: “A Nobel Prize can neither be revoked nor transferred to others. Once the announcement of the laureate(s) has been made, the decision stands for all time. As for the prize money, the laureate(s) are free to dispose of it as they see fit.”

She's a single mom and a widow. Now the kid has NO PARENTS. Thanks to ICE.

He said Good and his son had a child who is now 6 years old. “There’s nobody else in his life,” Macklin Sr. said. “I’ll drive. I’ll fly. To come and get my grandchild.”

Here’s the play: Trump forced embargos on Venezuela oil that made Venezuela-owned CITGO refineries designed to refine Venezuelan oil unprofitable. US Courts forced sale of CITGO assets, Singer swooped in and bought them for $5.9billion, a third of its $18billion value (oil refineries are very expensive to build). 2 months later, Trump attacks Venezuela, removes Maduro and Venezuelan oil is legal again. Presto! Instant profit in billions!!!
