Trump officials are using this new tactic to detain immigrants Officers have repeatedly detained people under a reinterpretation of a 1996 law that states that anyone in the United States illegally β€œshall be detained” without bond, indefinitely.

The Post reviewed nearly 70 cases in which U.S. District Judge Patrick J. Schiltz ruled that the Trump administration had violated court orders.

In blow to Trump DOJ, judge disqualifies β€˜triumvirate’ leading U.S. attorney’s office in NJ The judge said the DOJ's defense of the triad was an "enormous assertion of Presidential power."

NEW: A federal judge ruled the DOJ’s replacement of Alina Habba, the former interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, with three separate attorneys was unlawful.

The ruling marks the latest blow in Trump's effort to bypass Senate confirmation to install loyalists in top U.S. attorney offices.

Australian TV news: "And notice which country is not on the buy side of that chart. The United States, they don't need it. They've got their own oil. They're fine. But you won't see any of those countries that are on the buy side of that chart bombing Iran, so they close those straits."

Jesus, Japan’s Nikkei index is down over 4,000 points, over 7%

South Korea’s KOSPI is down 8% and hit a circuit breaker.

Tomorrow is gonna be brutal, but it will probably also eventually make Trump TACO.
