Immigrant Rights Groups Sue ICE over “Enforced Disappearance” of 48 People | Democracy Now!

1 month ago | democracynow.org

A coalition of rights groups and community advocates in New Mexico has filed a civil rights complaint, warning 48 people have been disappeared after a wave of immigration raids in Santa Fe, Roswell and Albuquerque. This is Rebecca Sheff, attorney for the ACLU of New Mexico. Rebecca Sheff: “We know that enforced disappearance is unlawful under the U.S. Constitution. We know that disappearing people is also prohibited under international human rights law. We know that when a government apprehends somebody and conceals what’s happened to them or their whereabouts, that’s a human rights violation.” The coalition of groups is calling on New Mexico legislators to pass two bills to protect residents: HB 9, the Immigrant Safety Act, and SB 250, the No State and Local Resources for Immigration Enforcement Act.

Trump’s Trade War: Why Lack of Universal Healthcare Makes U.S. Less Competitive | Democracy Now!

1 month ago | democracynow.org

President Donald Trump’s growing trade war against other countries is wreaking havoc on financial markets, upending the global trade system and angering long-standing U.S. allies. Trump has imposed sweeping tariffs on a range of imports, including aluminum and steel, since his inauguration. Many countries have responded with their own retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods, though countries have also delayed or withdrawn some of the levies as the Trump administration makes near-daily changes to its trade policies. We speak with investigative journalist and author Dave Lindorff, who says the Trump administration’s drive to bring back manufacturing and other jobs that have been outsourced over the last several decades is ignoring the role of healthcare in raising costs. “The fact that we don’t have national healthcare here like they have in Canada … is making American industry not competitive,” says Lindorff.

The slide came as China began implementing retaliatory tariffs on U.S. meat and produce and as Canada’s Ontario province added a 25% surcharge to electricity exports, affecting three states. Trump also triggered investor panic when he twice refused to rule out a recession during an interview that aired Sunday on Fox News. Maria Bartiromo: “Are you expecting a recession this year?” President Donald Trump: “I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition, because what we’re doing is very big.”
