The econonic record of Donald Trump and Joe Biden
New Repbublic - Donald Trump promised Tuesday to give special treatment to billionaires. “Any person or company investing ONE BILLION DOLLARS, OR MORE, in the United States of America, will receive fully expedited approvals and permits, including, but in no way limited to, all Environmental approvals,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Vox - President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering deporting some immigrants to countries other than their own. If he tries to do so, it won’t be the first time. Like before, however, he would probably face legal challenges.According to NBC News, Trump is considering sending immigrants whose home countries will not accept US deportees to third countries including Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, Panama, and Grenada. Currently, many immigrants from so-called “recalcitrant countries” are simply released into the US since there is nowhere to send them.
It’s not immediately clear what legal mechanism Trump intends to rely on to carry out these deportations to third countries. A representative for the Trump transition team did not respond to a request for comment. A regulation and a law currently give the executive branch some ability to deport immigrants to third countries; however, the legality of both is an open question.
During his first term, Trump previously sought to use executive power to send asylum seekers of various nationalities to Guatemala under what he called an “Asylum Cooperative Agreement.” Under the agreement, migrants who passed through Guatemala before arriving in the US were sent back if they did not first seek protection there. The ACLU filed a lawsuit challenging the policy, but that suit was never resolved: The government stopped enforcing the policy during the pandemic and President Joe Biden was elected.
AP News - Wisconsin prosecutors filed 10 additional felony charges Tuesday against
two attorneys and an aide to President-elect Donald Trump who advised
Trump in 2020 as part of a plan to submit paperwork falsely claiming
that the Republican had won the battleground state that year.
