Immigration crackdown: Despite defeats in court and deepening scandal, Trump's crusade ramps up on many fronts
Amos Yee, 16, leaves the state court in Singapore on May 12, 2015. A Singaporean teenager was found guilty May 12 over an expletive-laden YouTube video attacking the city-state's late founding father Lee Kuan Yew and Christianity, in a case activists said amounted to censorship.
With all the hoopla over the current administration’s relationship with Russia and the health care dumpster fire, we haven’t been paying as much attention to the Trump policy that seems to be going great guns: the deportation and detention of foreign nationals by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). For all of President Trump’s failures on other matters, this one is succeeding briskly. That is, if you define success as ICE striking terror into immigrant communities all over the country.
