10.02.2017 - "Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted immigration raids Thursday and Friday that were described as “large scale” and of “unusual intensity” in at least six states, the Washington Post reported. Even as the Republican president’s ban on immigration from 7 predominantly Muslim countries was slapped down by the 9th Circuit as lacking a logical reason for its haste, Donald Trump flexed his powers to round up immigrants by force. [..] GEO Group is one of the largest purveyors of private prisons in America. Its stock prices have been on a roller coaster since August. On August 18th, the Obama administration announced that the federal government would phase out use of private prisons [..]. The next day, August 19th, GEO Corrections made a $100,000 donation to Rebuilding America Now, a Super PAC supporting Trump [..]. In total, GEO Group and affiliates donated at least $275,000 to Trump in the presidential campaign. And that doesn’t include the hundreds of thousands it has donated to Republicans in Congress. Another large private prison contractor, CoreCivic, formerly known as Corrections Corporation of America, also made donations. Its stocks have followed a trajectory very similar to GEO Group’s."
14.02.2017 - Stephen Miller uzrunā saka: "The end result of this, though, is that our opponents, the media, and the whole world will soon see, as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial, and will not be questioned."
fōnā gruzd tiesniešu un vēlēšanu lieta, kas dažiem ļauj izteikt spekulatīvus minējumus par Trampa administrācijas mērķi "koriģēt" vēlēšanu un ievēlšanas principus.
tikmēr pasaules otrā malā, mums tuvāk 12.02.2017.: "В преддверии переговоров с США по проблеме Донбасса Сергей Лавров обозначил позицию России по Украине в целом. По сути, Москва предлагает Западу «закрыть украинский проект» и вернуть его туда, где его историческое место, – в зону влияния России. И трудно не заметить ехидства в замечании о том, что в противном случае Кремль готов подождать и вернуться к этому разговору еще через несколько лет." |
