In a bold editorial for the New York Times, Boston University law professor Jed Handelsman Shugerman criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump, labeling it a “historic mistake.” Shugerman’s critique centered on the charges against Trump, which arose from payments made during the 2016 election to allegedly silence allegations of an affair, a move purportedly made to avoid influencing the election outcome.

Shugerman argued that the pursuit of Trump for alleged federal election offenses is a legal overreach. In his opinion piece titled “I Thought the Bragg Case Against Trump Was a Legal Embarrassment. Now I Think It’s a Historic Mistake,” he wrote about his concerns over the vagueness of the allegations and the unprecedented application of state law.

According to Shugerman, “Their vague allegation about ‘a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election’ has me more concerned than ever about their unprecedented use of state law and their persistent avoidance of specifying an election crime or a valid theory of fraud.”

The case against Trump, initially seen as a potential misdemeanor involving falsified business records, has escalated. Bragg’s team has attempted to link these charges to more severe violations of federal election law and state tax fraud. However, Shugerman remains skeptical of the linkage, saying the internal nature of the alleged falsifications and questioning their relevance outside the business context. “A year ago, I wondered how entirely internal business records could be the basis of any fraud if they are not shared with anyone outside the business.”

EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – Three drivers and 24 migrants are in custody after border agents tracked a caravan of SUVs and a pickup from a highway near the border to an empty RV park near Columbus, New Mexico.

Three vehicles traveling in tandem on New Mexico State Road 9 in the early hours of April 24 attracted the attention of border agents because they appeared to be following a speeding white Ford F-150. The lead truck kept going but two Ford Expedition SUVs and a Dodge Ram pickup – all with Chihuahua, Mexico, license plates – pulled into an RV park along NM 9, about 2 miles north of the border with Mexico.

Court records show several U.S. Border Patrol agents converged at the RV park and began questioning the drivers. The agents saw several individuals, some wearing camouflage clothing, trying to hide in the back of each vehicle.

Texas truck inspections costing border industry $32 million a day, Juarez official says

EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – Juarez industry officials say commercial truck delays at El Paso border crossings are costing them up to $32 million a day.

The delays started on Saturday when the Texas Department of Public Safety resumed enhanced safety inspections of all trucks coming across from Mexico at the Ysleta port of entry and the Bridge of the Americas.
 

Thor Salayandia, an official with the Mexican Chamber of Industry, said hundreds of trucks with parts and goods headed to the United States remain stranded in line at border crossings or had to turn back with their loads to the factories.
 
“We don’t know when this is going to end. There are no indications of what comes next,” Salayandia said at a news conference Monday in Juarez. The losses come from the overtime that plants must pay drivers and warehouse employees and could soon be reflected in unfulfilled delivery contracts.

Biden’s ‘Parole in Place’ Plan Is a Solution in Search of a Problem
The lack of a ‘limiting principle’ would allow parole to swallow all the other immigration rules
 
By Andrew R. Arthur on April 30, 2024

As I recently explained, the Biden administration appears to be planning to expand on its other “parole” programs to grant de facto amnesty to approximately 1.1 million illegal aliens who are married to U.S. citizens. If that happens, those sympathetic couples in “mixed status” families will be just the beginning, but it should be noted that nearly all of those alien spouses already have a remedy to their plight. In other words, this plan is a solution in search of a problem, albeit one that will make future enforcement efforts next to impossible, but more importantly, it would expand DHS’s limited parole authority so wide that it will quickly swallow all the other rules governing aliens in the INA.

Parole, and Ice Cream. Under section 235 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), aliens seeking admission to the United States (including illegal entrants) must prove they have a visa or other document that permit their admission, and that they are otherwise admissible.

In section 212(d)(5)(A) of the INA, however, Congress gave the executive branch (originally the attorney general, now the DHS secretary) the authority to allow inadmissible aliens to enter the United States for given reasons (like emergency medical treatment) or for specific periods of time.

Parole doesn’t make those aliens any less removable, and in fact the parole statute requires DHS to take parolees back into custody and treat them like all other aliens seeking admission at ports of entry once their periods of parole have expired.

Nicaragua Sees Nearly $1 Billion in Remittances from the U.S. in 3 Months



by CHRISTIAN K. CARUZO 29 Apr 2024

The communist dictatorship of Nicaragua saw a growth of nearly 12 percent in the amount of remittance money emigrants sent to the country during the first quarter of 2024, mainly driven by remittances sent from the United States, according to a report published by the Nicaraguan newspaper La Prensa on Sunday.

According to statistics from the Central Bank of Nicaragua (BCN), remittances sent to the country during the first three months of 2024 totaled $1.14 billion, marking an 11.8-percent increase from 2023’s $1.02 billion in the same time period.

Of the $1.14 billion received in the first quarter of 2024, the report states, $930.7 million came from the United States, representing a staggering 81.6 percent of the total. The increase, according to BCN, means Nicaragua remains the Central American country with the most growth in remittances received.

Since 2023, Nicaragua has experienced a dramatic upsurge in the amount of remittance funding received by locals from Nicaraguan citizens abroad who have either fled or been banished from the communist regime.

Dictator Daniel Ortega turned remittances into a crucial funding resource for the economically-ailing regime.

Hotel Quietly Converted Into Migrant Shelter In Up-And-Coming Neighborhood: REPORT

A hotel in a hip neighborhood in New York City (NYC) has been quiet about the fact it has been transformed into a migrant shelter that was bought and paid for by Democratic NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ administration.

Located in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, the 55-room Hotel Le Jolie has been home to migrant families with children thanks to a $12,300,000 emergency contract funded by the NYC Department of Homeless Services (DHS) — which went into effect at some point last year, according to The New York Post.

The news regarding the change has not been reported until months after the boutique hotel underwent the initial transition.
