Immigrants

Indpendent, UK -   The White House appears unbothered by a recent United Nations committee report that expressed deep concern over President Donald Trump’s “racist hate speech” toward immigrants, which they say contributed to a violation of human rights in the United States.

“This United Nations assessment is just as useless as their broken escalator, and their extreme bias continues to prove why no one takes them seriously,” White House Spokesperson Olivia Wales said in a statement.

The report, published Wednesday by the U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, found that Trump and other political leaders may have incited racial discrimination and hate crimes against migrants by using dehumanizing language and harmful stereotypes as well as portraying immigrants as criminals or burdens.

“No one cares what the biased United Nations’ so-called ‘experts’ think, because Americans are living in a safer, stronger country than ever before,” Wales said.

HeadlineUSA -   According to an Axios report, White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair privately advised House Republicans on Tuesday to drop the phrase “mass deportations” from their talking points and instead center their rhetoric on the removal of violent criminals, sources with knowledge of the closed door meeting said.

The instruction represents a notable pivot for an administration that built its 2024 campaign around promises of sweeping immigration enforcement. A Politico poll released in January showed that nearly half of Americans view Donald Trump’s deportation efforts as too aggressive, with one in five of the president’s own 2024 supporters sharing that assessment.

NPR -  The Trump administration is seeking to tighten rules for immigrants with temporary legal status seeking a commercial driver’s license, citing several high-profile crashes involving foreign-born drivers. Critics argue that these changes won’t improve road safety. According to the Department of Transportation’s estimate, the proposed regulations could force around 200,000 immigrants, including asylum-seekers and DACA recipients, out of the trucking industry.
