"A judge has ordered the case of a Tufts University doctoral student from Turkey who was detained by immigration authorities, sparking outrage in Massachusetts, be moved to federal court in Vermont, rather than keep the case in Massachusetts or move it to Louisiana, where she's been in custody."

NBC10 Boston · Federal case of Turkish Tufts student detained by ICE in Somerville moved to Vt.By Asher Klein, Michael Casey

Presented as a means to “restore the rule of law” to the United States’ southern border, hundreds of miles of border walls have been erected by successive presidential administrations. This new book claims it is the walls themselves that transcend the law: texasobserver.org/the-lawless-

The Texas Observer · The Lawless Border WallThe application of waivers and the interpretation of their scope has repeatedly expanded, such that border walls are now privileged over all potential legal constraints short of the U.S. Constitution.

“…tucked away in section 6B of #Trump’s day-one #ExecutiveOrder declaring a national emergency at the southern border was this pearl… :

‘Within 90 days of the date of this proclamation, the Secy of Defense & the Secy of Homeland Security shall submit a joint report…about the conditions … & any recommendations regarding additional actions that may be necessary…, including whether to invoke the #InsurrectionAct of 1807.’”

#JeromePowell says #TheFed does not forecast #recession probability.

"We don't actually, we don't make a probability forecast of how likely it is for there to be a recession, but many outside forecasters do, & many of them have raised the likelihood, …there's not much more I can say about that."

Powell stressed that he did not want to be part of a political discussion about #policy.

The Fed is not responsible for #trade, #immigration, fiscal or other policies.

Continued thread

"The new administration is in the process of implementing substantial policy changes in four distinct areas #trade, #immigration, fiscal policy & regulation [#deregulation]," #FederalReserve chair #JeromePowell said.

"Our monetary policy stance is well positioned to deal with the risks & uncertainties we face as we gain a better understanding of the policy changes & their likely [adverse] effects on the #economy. It is not our role to comment on those policies."

Listening to the latest It Could Happen Here/Behind The Bastards episode and I'm just... not happy.

Immigrants may not have the same status as citizens, but they do have legal rights in the United States. Boundaries are being tested as the Trump administration claims broad authority to deport “alien enemies” and others. #immigration #border #immigrants
