Ernesto Castañeda

With his policy actions (tariffs, ICE) and foreign interventions, it is like if Trump doesn't care about his voting base or winning elections. He is losing his Latino vote, part of the American First vote, and the "no foreign war" vote. This will show in the primaries tomorrow. #Iran #Unpopular

So he's saying that he knew Israel was going to attack Iran and he believed Iran would retaliate by attacking US bases, so we had to strike first since Israel was going to get US forces attacked.

La mayoría de sus miembros han declarado públicamente haber votado por los republicanos durante muchos años. Muchos líderes locales de ICE y de la Patrulla Fronteriza hablaban abiertamente a los medios en contra de directivas que salían de la Casa Blanca y del DHS de los presidentes Obama y Biden.

Its budget is larger than that of many armies in the world. The agencies in charge of sealing the border and deporting people without immigration status have more resources than the CIA, FBI and DEA. 2) In several recent presidential elections, the Border Patrol workers union has endorsed Trump.

La migra y otros agentes federales se han convertido en fuerzas paramilitares en ambos sentidos de la palabra: 1) Están usando uniformes, armas, comunicaciones como los que usan las fuerzas militares. Patrullan las calles como si estuvieran en territorio enemigo

The President said very little about Iran during the State of the Union, saying he would prefer the diplomatic avenue, misleading the Iranian government, but also the American people.

en un distrito que Trump ganó por 17 puntos porcentuales en 2024. Según datos de VoteHub, el cambio en el voto latino fue drástico: pasó de un 53% de apoyo a la candidatura presidencial demócrata en las generales de 2024 a un contundente 79% en esta elección especial.

La señal más alarmante para la Casa Blanca no llegó con la victoria del demócrata Taylor
Rehmet en una elección especial para el Senado del estado de Texas,

Para Castañeda, esta situación ha generado una paradoja: sectores que en 2024 apoyaban la
deportación de criminales hoy se sienten amenazados por operativos que perciben como indiscriminados.

“Es difícil negar que hay un perfilamiento racial”, señalando que el temor ha permeado incluso a ciudadanos y residentes legales que temen ser interceptados en la vía pública.

Ernesto Castañeda explica que la desafección de los Latinos responde a lo “agresivo e innegable” de las detenciones a cargo de agencias federales como el ICE.

"Texas Governor Greg Abbott has launched an operation to increase security across Texas in response to escalating cartel violence in Mexico," but as I told Noticias Univision Austin yesterday: Historically, drug war violence in Mexico has not spilled over to the U.S., not even to border cities.

"What would it have looked like in 2024 when we're in the thick of the campaigns, if we stopped being so defensive on immigration and we went on the offensive? Had we done that, Silverio, Alex, Renee, would be alive." - @ramirez.house.gov

The Trump administration does not understand remittances at all, and neither does the far-right in countries like Guatemala. As someone who sends remittances home to my wife, I can attest that most of my money goes to costs here in the U.S. and it goes to helping my partner as we wait for her visa*

Remittances Do Not Drain Host Countries’ Economies and Are Not Like Foreign Aid In this chapter, we provide evidence to disprove the myth that remittances drain and burden host countries’ economies. We begin by outlining common arguments against remittances, particularly those in...

Proof that immigrants fuel the US economy is found in the billions they send back home A new study finds that immigrants contribute about $2.2 trillion annually to the US economy, and that might be an undercount.

Exactly!

DHS posted complaining about immigration and remittances from Honduras, but they misunderstand what remittances are: a small portion of people's wages; and as we calculate over 96% of their economic input stays in the U.S.

A chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Twice as many Americans say Donald Trump is racist as say he is not racist." The chart's sub-headline is: "Which of these words would you [use / NOT use] to describe Donald Trump? Please check all that apply. [Racist] (%)." The chart has the note: "Note: Identification as a MAGA Republican is based on Republicans' responses to the question, "Are you a MAGA supporter?" Non-MAGA Republicans are Republicans who say "no"; Republicans who say "not sure" are not shown. "

Trump uses threats about tariffs to negotiate, but the world now remembers that the US doesn't have a king, but three branches of government. Tariffs are not over, but they are unpopular and with little legal or technical backing inside the U.S. #InternationalTrade #Politics #TradeWar #GlobalEconomy
