Trump Administration Sanctions Travel From Four Countries.


The Trump administration is threatening to halt some travel from four countries refusing to cooperate with the Department of Homeland Security on deportations. While neither DHS nor State named the four countries involved, according to the Washington Times, sources identified them as the nations of Cambodia, Eritrea, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. The sanctions were first reported by the Washington Times. "That process includes internal discussions with, and official notification to, affected countries".

The Trump administration will impose visa sanctions on four countries that refuse to take back foreign nationals deemed to be in the US illegally, Department of Homeland Security Spokesman Dave Lapan said Wednesday. An administration official confirmed that DHS sent to State letters that triggered the sanctions. "We want those countries to be able to take back their citizens", a State Department official said. The DHS identifies countries that can be sanctioned and the State Department decides what, if any, sanctions could be imposed.

Twelve countries have been designated as recalcitrant as of July, Lapan said, including China and Cuba. It was not immediately clear why these specific four countries were chosen. The sanctions were first reported by the Washington Times. In a news briefing Wednesday, Lapan declined to name the four countries. The State Department also refused to identify the countries.

After a Supreme Court ruling in 2001, immigration authorities have been forced to release after a period of time undocumented immigrants from countries that refuse to accept their repatriation.
Between 2013 and 2016, more than 8,000 undocumented immigrants were released, some after serving time in prison for violent crimes, according to data from the House committee on oversight and government reform.

General strike turns into violence as two protesters were killed!!!

For more than two years, Venezuela has struggled with a massive economic collapse that has triggered acute food shortages, a lack of medical care and rampant inflation. NPR's Planet Money calls the disaster, caused by government decisions and triggered by a drop in oil prices, an "economic horror story." A political crisis soon followed. Protesters called for the resignation of Maduro, who is now deeply unpopular. But instead of stepping down, Maduro accumulated more and more power. Empty streets, makeshift barricades, burning tires, signs scrawled with "No to dictatorship": Protests continue on the streets of Venezuela as a 24-hour general strike takes hold, the latest development in an ongoing political and economic crisis. Some citizens are trying to go to work despite the shutdown of public transportation; others are taking to blockaded streets in protest.
