In a sign of #California’s widening anger at the #Trump admin, including from the political center, the #LosAngeles Civic Alliance, a coalition of #business & #civic leaders that for years has served as the voice of the establishment in the Los Angeles region, condemned the deployment of the #NationalGuard in SoCal as an “#unconstitutional action” on Monday & charged that Trump had acted illegally.

#LosAngeles #ICE #raids fuel controversy over #masked agents
Images of federal #immigration agents wearing masks & balaclavas as they conduct raids in Los Angeles & other US cities have ignited a politically charged debate over whether they are protecting their identities or engaging in intimidation tactics.

A sweeping #tax & spending #bill passed by #House #Republicans would devote an estimated $150B to #immigration enforcement, an unprecedented sum that seeks to deliver #Trump’s goal of mass #deportations & lock down the US Mexico border.
The bill would provide funding for 10k new immigration enforcement officers & $46.5B for a *wall* along the border while placing new *fees* on applications for #asylum & other #humanitarian protections.

“The Federal Government Is Gone”: Under Trump, the Fight Against Extremist Violence Is Left Up to the States
—
As the White House redirects counterterrorism personnel and funds toward mass deportations, a state-level scramble is on to preserve efforts once supported by Washington. The result is a patchwork approach that leaves many areas uncovered.

The #troops — whose makeshift quarters are shown in photographs exclusively obtained by the Chronicle — arrived WITHOUT federal funding for #food, #water, #fuel, #equipment or #lodging, said the source, who was granted confidentiality under SF Chronicle policies. This person said #state ofcls & the #California National Guard were not to blame.

#Trump gives #Harvard 30 days to contest end of international student enrollment
The Trump admin on Thursday backed away from plans to immediately revoke #HarvardUniversity's ability to enroll #InternationalStudents & would instead give it 30 days to contest those plans through a lengthier administrative process.
The #DHS sent Harvard a notice of intent on Wednesday to *withdraw* the school's certification under a federal program to enroll non-US students.

Federal judge blocks #Trump effort to keep #Harvard from hosting #InternationalStudents
A federal judge on Friday granted a preliminary injunction blocking Trump’s efforts to keep #HarvardUniversity from hosting #international #students.
Judge Allison Burroughs’ order preserves Harvard’s ability to host foreign students while the case is decided. It marks another win for the #university as it fights multiple Trump sanctions amid a battle w/the admin.

#Trump can keep #NationalGuard deployed to #LosAngeles for now, appeals court rules
US appeals court late Thurs allowed Trump to maintain his deployment of National Guard #troops in #LA amid #protests over aggressive #immigration enforcement, temporarily pausing a lower court's ruling blocking the mobilization.
The #9thCircuit Court of Appeals' decision does not mean the court will ultimately agree w/Trump, but it means he will maintain command of the guard for now.

WTF
A federal appeals court on Thursday allowed #Trump to continue collecting #tariffs under an #EmergencyPowers law for now, as his admin appeals an order striking down the bulk of his signature set of economic policies.
The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted an emergency motion from the Trump admin arguing a halt is “critical for the country’s national security.”[bull-fucking-shit]

Those citations, though, are rife with errors, from broken links to misstated conclusions. Seven of the cited sources don’t appear to exist at all."

An EPA complaint filed under the Biden administration alleged that a harmful disinfectant was being used without proper protection at an ICE facility in California.
Last week, the case — filed against the GEO Group, a major Trump donor — was dropped without explanation.
#Trump Suddenly Cares About 'Insurrectionists' & Protecting Cops
#Insurrectionists beat #cops w/flag poles, crushed them w/riot shields, tased them in the neck, & spat on them during the deadly attack on the US Capitol on #Jan6, 2021. But when Trump claimed on Monday that he has no tolerance for "insurrectionists" who clash w/ #police officers, he wasn't talking about the 1,500 rioters he pardoned upon assuming office earlier this year;

A lawyer in #LosAngeles who has been providing assistance to some of the people detained in the #immigration sweeps last week said Tues that at least 2 of the people who were detained had ALREADY been deported.
Atty Yliana Johansen Méndez said at a news conference that her firm had been contacted by the families of 2 detainees, & the families said their relatives had been sent to Tijuana, Mexico, within HOURS after they were arrested.
