"Trump’s actions thus far have raised the stakes for him and for the United States, and the Venezuelan democratic opposition is fully behind him. María Corina Machado, the leader of the opposition and recent Nobel Peace Prize winner, called Trump’s moves “absolutely correct”..(Abrams)

"Venezuela is a far better candidate for regime change and a return of democracy than were countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria..The only way for Trump to be able to declare victory credibly is for Maduro to go" (Abrams)

Abrams: “Regime change” is hardly a phrase associated with Trump, but the goals he has stated in Venezuela require it."

Anyone but Assad

“It is easy to imagine that the fall of a dictator is enough to bring a new dawn. After years of war and violence, Syrians crave a normal life so fiercely that almost any alternative to Mr. al-Assad feels like salvation.”

Note: "Deportation Judges," not immigration judges. No need to apply if you don't get the agenda.

Lessons from Chicago: A playbook for the federal immigration surge in New Orleans - Verite News New Orleans Civil rights lawyers successfully fought the brutal tactics deployed against Chicagoans during a recent immigration enforcement deployment.

Her baby was in the NICU. She was in ICE detention. Before Trump took office, postpartum immigrants were rarely detained by ICE. Nayra Guzmán was detained while her 15-day-old baby was in the NICU.

“Guzmán’s daughter was still in the NICU, unable to eat or breathe independently. The doctors had planned a meeting to review the baby’s prognosis and care plans…

Three-year-old child forced to serve as her own attorney in Tucson immigration court More than a dozen undocumented minors were forced to make their case in front of an immigration judge as the Trump administration ramps up removal proceedings.
