US Supreme Court
The Unites States Supreme Court has just ruled in favor of the Trump administration last 25 June in a landmark immigration case involving the asylum process.

Thuraissigiam, the court ruled 7-2 that if an asylum seeker is denied asylum during the beginning of the intake process, the applicant may not appeal that decision in federal court. The ruling also defines how the right to habeas corpus is applied to asylum seekers.

Thousands Of Migrants Deported From The U.S.

Migrant
When it is time to go, then it is really time to go. This is the clear message from the Trump administration when it expelled more than 20,000 unauthorized migrant adults, families and children from the U.S. last 14 May. The basis used was the public health order issued in late March in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Citing the emergency directive by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), border officials sent more than 14,000 migrants to Mexico or their home countries in April, according to new government data.

'Remain in Mexico' Asylum Policy Ruled Legal By SC

Remain In Mexico
The U.S. Supreme Court gave President Donald Trump a victory after said it allowed the Government to continue enforcing a policy that makes asylum-seekers wait in Mexico for U.S. court hearings, overruling the lower court decision.

The justices' order last 10 March, over a dissenting vote by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, overturns a lower court order that would have blocked the policy, at least for people arriving at the border crossings in Arizona and California.

American Border
As the U.S. immigration system recorded the highest number of apprehensions at the southwestern border in a decade, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is looking at opening new and sophisticated detention facilities in California.

ICE is considering using existing facilities or constructing new facilities in the Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco areas to house between 5,100 to 5,600 detainees, according to official documents posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website. The facilities would be used to house "criminal aliens and other immigrant violators," the documents say.

Migration Slowly Goes Down in Europe

Migration in Europe
The paradox of Europe’s migration crisis: The actual number of arriving migrants is back to its pre-2015 level, even as the politics of migration continue to shake the Continent.

Recently, leaders of the European Union are gathering in Brussels for a fraught meeting on migration that could hasten the political demise of the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, and unravel the bloc’s efforts to form a coherent migration policy.

Italy-Austria Alliance Against Illegal Migrants in Europe

Italy-Austria Alliance
A meeting of Italy's anti-migrant interior minister with like-minded Austrian populist leaders last 20 June in Rome heralded a new hard-line alliance forming in Europe on migration issues with pledges to more firmly protect Europe's southern border.

Italy's interior minister, Matteo Salvini, leveraged on his recent refusal to allow landfall in Sicily to a ship carrying some 630 migrants rescued at sea off the Libyan coast. The new Socialist government in Spain agreed to take them in, acknowledging Europe had abandoned Italy, after the tiny island nation of Malta also balked.

Iowa Bans "Sanctuary Cities"

Sanctuary No More
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed legislation recently banning sanctuary city policies in the State of Iowa.

More Californians Backing Trump Against Illegals

Illegal Aliens
More local governments in California are resisting the state's efforts to cuddle illegal migrants. They have seen the merit in President Donald Trump's policy and they vowed to support his administration's immigration crackdown. Political experts see this as politics at play after Republicans try to fire up voters in a state where the GOP has grown weak.

Since the Jeff Sessions-led Department of Justice sued California last month over its so-called "sanctuary state" law limiting police collaboration with immigration agents, at least a dozen local governments have voted to either join or support the lawsuit or for resolutions opposing the state's position. Those include the Board of Supervisors in Orange County, which has more than 3 million people.

Israel Backtracks On African Migrants

PM netanyahu
Less than a day after the Israeli government announced a deal with the United Nations’ refugee agency to resettle more than 16,000 African migrants and grant legal status to others, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suspended and then definitively scrapped the deal.

Early last 2 April, the Israeli government and the U.N. agency, formally known as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, revealed the outlines of a deal they'd signed concerning the status of more than 34,000 undocumented Eritreans and Sudanese living in Israel. Under the agreement, more than 16,000 would resettle in other countries, largely in Europe. The rest would receive legal status in Israel.

Trump's Campaign Against Illegals, Terrorists and Muslims Bear Results

Refugees
Finally, President Donald Trump has successfully trim down the number of illegals, terrorists and followers of Islam entering the American soil. In fact, only nine hundred and thirteen refugees were admitted to the United States during August, the first time the monthly intake has dropped below one thousand in 15 years, and the smallest number of monthly admissions since October 2002.

August's arrivals followed a pattern evident since the start of the Trump administration – a declining proportion of Muslims in comparison to Christians and adherents of other faiths.

New Immigration Bills Up For Congressional Approval

Borders
The popularity of US President Donald Trump got a big boost after he sent Congress his immigration legislation priorities last 9 October, including building a controversial border wall, speeding up deportations and dramatically increasing the number of officials involved in enforcement.

The list, which also includes preventing immigrants from sponsoring their extended families to move to the US, drew immediate fire from Democratic leaders in Congress, who said it goes "far beyond what is reasonable."

No More Burqa in Austria

Austria
Muslim women in Austria were FINALLY forced by police to remove their facial coverings last 1 October, as an anti-burqa law came into effect.

The so-called 'burqa ban' prohibits facial coverings including niqabs and burqas, and also places restrictions on surgical masks, ski masks and clown make-up worn in public.

"Dreamers" Has No Clue At All

Undocumented
The estimated 800,000 undocumented immigrants known as "Dreamers" can sue, protest and stage rallies, but it will not help them. They are not aware of the truth of how policies work.

It is simple really. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) order by former President Barrack Obama is a 2012 Presidential edict. This means it can be rescinded by any of the future Presidents. Too bad for them current President Donald Trump voided it now.
