Dana Milbank: On the border, Trump alone couldn’t fix it. In fact, he broke it. – Salt Lake Tribune
How much of the current mess would have happened without Trump is unknowable. But, by his own standard, he deserves all the blame, because he took all the credit for a decline in border crossings in 2017. “We’ve already cut illegal immigration at the southern border by 61%,” he said in early 2017, one of many such boasts. “You know, the border is down 78%. Under past administrations, the border…

The double danger of Trump’s proposal to drop migrants in sanctuary cities – Washington Examiner
The Trump administration is reportedly considering releasing migrants detained at the southern border on the streets of so-called sanctuary cities. Not only is this a clear abuse of power, but it is an abuse that seemingly seeks to enact revenge on jurisdictions because of their commitment to enforcing basic constitutional rights. As the Washington Post reported on Thursday, the idea was explicitly political. As one congressional investigator explained to the…
Don’t rush to assume the worst in Ilhan Omar’s 9/11 comments – Washington Examiner
Considering her qualified apologies following repeated statements in evidence of such a viewpoint, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is likely anti-Semitic. But I do not believe she is being judged fairly for her recent remarks on the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. As the video below shows, Omar told a gathering of the Council on American-Islamic Relations that CAIR was founded after the terrorist attacks “because [CAIR] recognized some people did something…

Ecuador releases Julian Assange for rudeness, spying, and poop – Vox.com
Julian Assange’s dramatic arrest on Thursday happened because the government of Ecuador — which had protected the WikiLeaks founder in its London embassy for seven years — finally decided to kick him out. So why did the Ecuadorians suddenly turn on their controversial lodger? The decision came down to two completely different rationales: a desire for better relations with the US, and exasperation with Assange’s horrible houseguest etiquette. “We’ve ended…

Shouldn’t Nancy Pelosi want detainees released into her sanctuary city? – Washington Examiner
It’s a dead giveaway. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., would consider it punishment were her city saddled with more undocumented migrants while they await their court hearings. The thrust of a Washington Post report on Friday, citing anonymous Department of Homeland Security “officials,” was that the White House had asked Immigration and Customs Enforcement about unloading illegal immigrants detained at the border in places proudly known as “sanctuary cities.” Pelosi’s…
Pence’s defense of Trump’s WikiLeaks comments makes no sense – Vox.com
President Donald Trump sure has changed his tune on WikiLeaks — and his vice president is doing his best to make sure everyone forgets that one of his main campaign-closing messages was relentlessly promoting and praising an organization whose founder his administration now wants to extradite back to the US to face criminal charges. During a CNN interview that aired on Friday, Vice President Mike Pence went so far as…
