If this doesn't cost the Republicans the Cuban vote, what will?
South Floridians from Cuba, Haiti and Venezuela expecting to become U.S. citizens this week learned instead that their naturalization ceremonies had been canceled after the Trump administration issued a sweeping directive aimed at halting immigration from so-called high-risk countries.
South Florida immigrants on cusp of citizenship told to wait as DHS changes policy
The cancellations, confirmed by multiple immigration attorneys, came after the Trump administration paused immigration from 19 nations and froze all asylum claims.

I was at an org whose SLA allowed for audits of the facilities with prior notice. Upon getting notice we'd have a physical security guard to show compliance with that SLA.
Notice for audits/inspections invites abuse/gaming.

The judge also says the attorney visits can't interfere with the facility's ordinary processing procedures.
She also says the facility will get 24 hour advance notice of the visits, and that only two attorneys (or an attorney and a paralegal) plus a translator, will be allowed to visit at a time.

I wish the newspapers really printed what his critics said: "Critics say the son of a Klan leader grew up to be a racist piece crap that hated America, shat on the constitution, made corrupt dictators wince his level of corruption, was a pedophile, and had awful taste in interior decorating."
Waiting for the “critics say this was bigoted” in the top of the hour newscast.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

It's Always The FBI
![Shortly thereafter, the FBI had a confidential informant—“Buckshot”—contact
Arthur for training. Buckshot initiated contact with Arthur by watching the Tackleberry
Solutions video, “How to Repel a Trained Military Force,” and requesting a free PDF from
Arthur through a link in that video. J.A. 741. Arthur provided the PDF while noting that he
“had to keep parts of this information off the internet. Especially since explosives are such
a touchy topic.” Id. He also told Buckshot that there was “no digital copy of some of the
things” he wanted to “share with [him].” Id.
Eventually, Arthur invited Buckshot to join him for in-person training, for which
Buckshot would be charged a fee. Buckshot accepted his invitation and, upon his arrival,
explained to Arthur that “[the] ATF’s been to my house. . . . [T]hey’re probably coming
back. . . . [W]hen they do, I want to be ready.” J.A. 38. Arthur responded that he could
“guaran-damn-tee” that the agents would return and that Buckshot had two choices: “Stand
and fight or be, ah, not exactly where you’re supposed to be.” Id. Once Buckshot relayed
that moving was not an option, Arthur spent the next three hours teaching him how to
fortify his residence against the returning federal agents.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreidlaru6mujp67oicfwmkqf6lhjpmyn5kj4troykom772dqf2i256m@jpeg)

What an atrocious comment from Jeffries.
The charges against Cuellar were not "thin." They were spectacular, detailed, and unprecedented.
Complete stain on Democrats that they never jettisoned Cuellar. Makes a mockery of claims to be concerned about foreign influence.

Cuellar was charged last year with bribery, money laundering and conspiracy. His wife, Imelda, also will receive a pardon, according to Trump.
