‘This is our answer to the White House’: California is bucking Trump’s controversial policies in an unprecedented way – Business Insider
‘This is our answer to the White House’: California is bucking Trump’s controversial policies in an unprecedented way – Business Insider

In recent weeks, California and its militia, one of the largest National Guard entities in the US, began signaling its disagreement with President Donald Trump on two contentious topics: the southern border and transgender service members.

Nearly a month after the Supreme Court decided not to stand in the way of Trump’s move to bar transgender people from serving in the military, the California Military Department’s second-in-command told policymakers the directive would not currently be enforced on transgender troops serving in the California National Guard.

“As long as you fight, we don’t care what gender you identify as,” Maj. Gen. Matthew Beevers, the California Military Department’s assistant adjutant general, said to the Assembly Veterans Affairs Committee last week.

“Nobody’s going to kick you out,” Beevers said, adding that transgender service members would still have to seek gender-reassignment surgery.

Trump’s ban has yet to be fully implemented, pending an injunction in place at the District Court of Maryland. US District Judge George Russell of Baltimore has yet to rule on the issue.

Beevers said he expects the ban “will be lifted again.”

Trump initially announced he would reverse President Barack Obama’s 2017 policy of allowing transgender people to serve. Trump said via tweet at the time that the military “cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.”

One year before Trump’s announcement; however, a 2016 government-funded study found that “the costs of gender transition-related health care treatment are relatively low” for the 1,320 to 6,630 transgender troops on active duty. In its study, the Rand Corporation estimated a yearly cost of between $2.4 million and $8.4 million for gender-related surgical procedures, or about a 0.04% to 0.13% increase in health care costs for the active-duty military.

It was unclear whether Gavin Newsom, California’s newly elected Democratic governor who previously called Trump’s ban “reckless” and “the height of cruelty and ignorance,” played a role in the CalGuard’s decision.

“Military leaders, decorated veterans, and members of Congress from both parties have rightly come together to condemn what is – by the administration’s own admission – a cheap, cynical ploy to rally the darkest corners of Trump’s base against yet another invented domestic enemy,” Newsom said in a statement after Trump’s announcement.

“There is NO basis to Trump’s claim that the service of Patriotic transgender people impacts our military readiness,” Newsom added. “On the contrary, the President today has weakened our military and by doing so, diminished both our security and our standing in the world community.”

A spokesman for the California Military Department told INSIDER that the CalGuard would continue to abide by federal regulations and directed all other inquiries to the governor’s office.

The governor’s office did not respond to a request for comment on Monday evening.

‘We are not interested in participating in this political theater’

While the CalGuard’s disagreement with Trump’s policy may have been subtle, Newsom’s views were not restrained.

On Monday, Newsom made a move to undermine Trump’s plan to deploy an additional 3,750 service members to guard the US-Mexico border, a development that would have brought the total number of service members there to around 6,000.

In a press conference with the state’s National Guard and Highway Patrol chiefs, Newsom announced he would withdraw most of the roughly 360 California National Guardsmen currently deployed at the border to “focus on the actual threats facing the state.”

“The border ’emergency’ is a manufactured crisis,” Newsom said in a press conference Monday. “And California will not be part of this political theater. Which is why I have given the National Guard a new mission: They will refocus on the real threats facing our state.”

“This is our answer to the White House: No more division, xenophobia or nativism,” Newsom said, adding that the troops who were withdrawn will be assigned other missions, such as supporting fire-prevention efforts and the state’s Counterdrug Task Force.

Around 110 CalGuard troops from the border will be redeployed for “fire prevention and fire suppression efforts,” Newsom said. About 100 troops are expected to continue conducting “counter narcotics search and seizure operations targeting transnational criminal organization around ports of entry.”

The California National Guard and the federal government have long enjoyed a symbiotic relationship, particularly during national emergencies stemming from natural disasters.

Additionally, units from the Guard regularly travel for annual deployments in support of foreign allies, such as Ukraine, in addition to combat deployments during the War on Terror.

The California National Guard says it has deployed over 50,000 times since the 9/11 attacks, and responds to “an emergency incident” around once every three days in California.

One former senior CalGuard official described the focus on California fire-prevention as “a good use of National Guard troops.” State authorities are believed to be nearing the end of the “decision-making process” in allocating assets for the upcoming wildfire season after experiencing one of the deadliest fire seasons in the state’s history.

“In the end, I think National Guard troops are more suited, certainly for California, for things like wildfires,” the former official said to INSIDER. “It’s when they’re inundated with so many fires that all the fire-fighting capabilities in the state can’t keep up with the [operational] tempo.”

Advisers urge Northam to watch ‘Birth of a Nation’ to learn about race: report | TheHill – The Hill
Advisers urge Northam to watch ‘Birth of a Nation’ to learn about race: report | TheHill – The Hill

Advisers to Ralph Northam have reportedly urged the Democratic Virginia governor to watch the film, “Birth of a Nation,” to understand more about race in America amid the fallout over an old yearbook page of his featuring blackface and KKK imagery.

An unnamed adviser told BuzzFeed News that Northam was not aware of the movie’s racist associations.

The 1915 film is known for its offensive and disturbing depictions of African-Americans after the Civil War, including white actors wearing blackface to play black roles. 

Northam’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill. 

The move from the advisers comes as Northam continues to face backlash after a photo surfaced of a man in blackface standing next to another in a Ku Klux Klan robe in his 1984 medical school yearbook. 

Northam apologized for the photo after it surfaced, but later denied that he was in the picture in question. 

“When I was confronted with the images yesterday, I was appalled that they appeared on my page, but I believed then and now that I am not either of the people in that photo,” he said in a press conference earlier this month. 

Northam has faced calls to resign from a range fo Democratic and GOP lawmaker. But he has vowed to remain in office and focus on racial “equity” during the remaining three years of his term. 

He told The Washington Post last week that he’s been working to increase his understanding of racial inequality by reading “The Case For Reparations” by Ta-Nehisi Coates and chapters of “Roots” by Alex Haley.  

BuzzFeed News reported on Monday that Northam and his adviser are also finalizing a statewide “listening tour” that will focus on discussions related to race in the U.S. 

An adviser told the news outlet that the goal of the listening tour is to talk to state residents and to discuss what he has learned from his own experiences.  

Northam is one of multiple top Democratic officials that have been ensnared in controversy in Virginia recently. State Attorney General Mark Herring last week admitted to wearing blackface to a party in college. 

Meanwhile, Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D) is facing two accusations of sexual assault. Fairfax has denied both allegations, saying that the encounters were consensual. 

All three men have faced calls to resign.

    Freezing rain, snow causing messy commute, power outages, school closures; Ice Storm Warning continues – WGN TV Chicago
    Freezing rain, snow causing messy commute, power outages, school closures; Ice Storm Warning continues – WGN TV Chicago

    CHICAGO — An Ice Storm Warning (scarlet-shaded area on the headlined map) for freezing rain mixed with sleet and snow is in effect for much of the Chicago area along and west of the Fox River Valley tonight into Tuesday.

    At the same time, heavy snow 4 to 8-inches is expected in northern counties bordering Wisconsin, and a Winter Weather Advisory (purple-shaded counties) for primarily freezing rain/snow mix is in effect for the remainder of the Chicago area.

    Extremely dangerous conditions for outdoor activities and travel will exist area-wide. The Tuesday morning commute will be slowed by slick roads and snow-covered highways, and movement outdoors made extremely hazardous due to glaze covering a good portion of northeast Illinois into northwest Indiana.

    Several schools across the area are closed or opening late due to the hazardous conditions.

    Check our up-to-date list of local school closings here.

    Metra Electric train service has been suspended until further notice. Metra suggest customers seek alternate transportation at this time.

    As of 6 a.m., ComEd is reporting more than 7,000 power outages in Cook County alone. More outages expected.

    The center of an intensifying low pressure system will track south of Chicago into Lower Michigan Tuesday, heading into Ontario Canada later Tuesday night. A wintry mix of freezing rain/sleet and snow will lay out to the north of the low-pressure track, covering the Chicago area.

    A Wind Advisory is issued for the entire Chicago area later Tuesday/Tuesday night as the storm center pulls away, strengthening west to northwest winds eventually gusting 40 mph or higher will direct much colder air into our area, changing all precipitation to snow showers and potentially causing widespread ice-laden tree damage and subsequent power outages. As you go north, storm total snowfall looks to gradually increase from 1 to 2-inches along the Interstate-80 corridor to the 4 to 8-inches far north.

    Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar apologizes for Israel comments, calls out ‘problematic’ role of AIPAC, ‘other lobbyists’ – Fox News

    Freshman Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar apologizes for tweet about AIPAC’s influence in US politics

    ‘Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,’ tweeted Rep. Omar; chief congressional correspondent Mike Emanuel reports from Capitol Hill.

    Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., apologized Monday for comments in which she implied that a prominent pro-Israel lobby compensated lawmakers for their support of the Jewish state, but insisted on what she called “the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics.”

    PELOSI, DEM LEADERS CONDEMN REP. OMAR FOR ‘ANTI-SEMITIC’ LANGUAGE

    “Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,” Omar wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. “My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole. We have to always be willing to step back and think through criticism, just as I expect people to hear me when others attack me for my identity. This is why I unequivocally apologize.”

    “At the same time,” she added, “I reaffirm the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics, whether it be AIPAC [the American Israel Public Affairs Committee], the [National Rifle Association] or the fossil fuel industry. It’s gone on too long and we must be willing to address it.”

    Omar drew condemnation from members of both parties after she tweeted Sunday evening that AIPAC has been paying members of Congress to support Israel. On Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called on Omar to apologize, saying that “her use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel’s supporters is deeply offensive.”

    Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said it was “shocking to hear a Member of Congress invoke the anti-Semitic trope of ‘Jewish money.'” Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., called the comments “deeply disappointing and disturbing.”

    MCCARTHY ASKS DEMS TO DENOUCE ALLEGED ANTI-SEMITIC REMARKS: ‘THIS WILL NOT BE THE END OF THIS’

    “Her words are deeply hurtful and offensive, particularly as they build on a previous comment she made [in 2012] about Jews ‘hypnotizing’ the world in support of Israel — another old trope born of hate-filled texts like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” Nadler said. ” … In this fragile moment in our nation’s history, we must all redouble our efforts to engage in policy debates in ways that respect the dignity and humanity of all people.”

    Omar apologized last month for posting the tweet referenced by Nadler, which read: “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine#Israel.” As of Monday afternoon, the messages that caused the most recent furor were still posted on Omar’s Twitter page.

    Last month, Omar argued in a Yahoo! News interview that Israel could not be considered a democracy and compared it to the Islamic theocracy in Iran.

    “When I see Israel institute laws that recognize it as a Jewish state and does not recognize the other religions that are living in it, and we still uphold it as a democracy in the Middle East I almost chuckle because I know that if we see that any other society we would criticize it, call it out,” she said. “We do that to Iran, we do that to any other place that sort of upholds its religion. And I see that now happening with Saudi Arabia and so I am aggravated, truly, in those contradictions.”

    AIPAC responded Sunday night by tweeting: “We are proud that we are engaged in the democratic process to strengthen the US-Israel relationship. Our bipartisan efforts are reflective of American values and interests. We will not be deterred in any way by ill-informed and illegitimate attacks on this important work.”

    President Trump took his fight over a border wall to the U.S.-Mexico border on Monday night, promising a crowd in El Paso, Texas, that he would press forward for its construction regardless even as news was breaking in Washington that a deal reached between congressional negotiators would fall far short of his funding demands.

    And in a near-showdown that seemed to mirror the ongoing political dispute over the border, Trump was greeted by a counter-rally led by former Texas Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke. The former Texas lawmaker failed last year in his effort to unseat GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, but could parlay his newfound celebrity with Democratic voters into a 2020 bid to unseat the president — a White House bid that could especially challenge Trump over immigration policy, border security and the propriety of building a Southern border wall.

    But the bigger threat to the message about the need to secure the border that Trump was trying to deliver was coming from many miles away. As another partial government shutdown loomed, bipartisan negotiations on Capitol Hill emerged with a deal Monday night for $1.375 billion for “physical barriers” at the border (the same level that was agreed to in last year’s Department of Homeland Security funding bill). This will fund about 55 miles of fencing.

    On stage, Trump claimed he didn’t know the details and “didn’t want to hear about it,” sticking to his robust talking points on the border wall anyway.

    “As I was walking up to the stage, they said that progress is being made with this committee. Just so you know, we’re building the wall anyway,” he said to raucous applause, underneath banners that read “Finish the Wall.”

    Speaking in an interview with Fox News conducted on the sidelines of the rally, Trump suggested he didn’t know many of the specifics of the deal and said “we’ll see what happens.” About his push for a border wall, Trump said his desire for a physical barrier is about safety. “A wall is a very good thing, not a bad thing. It’s a moral thing,” the president also said in the interview.

    The Trump administration has frequently exaggerated about how many new barriers along the border are being built compared to those being repaired. And the selection of a rally in El Paso was no accident either — Trump has often highlighted the border city as evidence that walls work, noting the low crime in the U.S. border town compared to its Mexican counterpart. However, statistics have shown that violent crime had already dropped well before the border wall was erected in El Paso.

    Trump dismissed those facts though, calling them “fake news” and saying people are “full of crap if they say it hasn’t made a difference.”

    The president also claimed that the 35-day partial government shutdown over the wall — the longest shutdown ever in U.S. history — “was a very important thing we did” because it turned attention to the border crisis, even if it did cause a “blip” in a rise in unemployment. Multiple polls also showed most Americans blamed Trump and Republicans for the shutdown, and his approval ratings also dropped.

    If Trump doesn’t accept the deal lawmakers will present to him this week, another shutdown could begin at just after midnight Saturday — though Trump has also threatened to build the wall via the declaration of a national emergency if necessary.

    The whole rally largely stuck to Trump’s usual talking points — ticking off economic successes, trade deals, boasting about his relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and rehashing much of what he had said last week in his State of the Union address.

    But Trump seemed especially attuned to and plenty sensitive about the split-screen image of the rally O’Rourke, El Paso’s former congressman, was holding outside in the heavily Democratic city. Exaggerating, as he’s prone to do, about his crowd size, Trump claimed that O’Rourke had only drawn 200 or 300 to his protest while they had 35,000 people trying to get into his.

    “That may be the end of his presidential bid,” Trump said, mocking O’Rourke as “a young man who’s got very little going for himself except a great first name.”

    “He’s supposed to win in order to run,” the president jabbed. “Beto was defeated,” Trump said referring to the race against Cruz, as the president boasted of his own undefeated record in his first bid for elective office.

    According to NBC News, O’Rourke’s team said there were about 7,000 people at his rally and mile-long march beforehand, per law enforcement. And Bloomberg News reported that O’Rourke’s rally had been estimated at 10,000 to 15,000, according to local police. At various points during his own rally, Trump claimed that 69,000 people had RSVP’d and that fire marshals allowed 10,000 people in with “tens of thousands” still watching outside. But NBC News reported that Trump’s rally was at its 6,500 capacity with 10,000 to 12,000 watching outside or in overflow areas, per the local police and fire departments.

    O’Rourke directly took on Trump over border security and Trump’s desire for a wall or other physical barrier. The former Democratic congressman said El Paso was a peaceful and safe city “because we treat one another with dignity and respect.”

    “We know that walls do not save lives; walls end lives,” O’Rourke also told those gathered at his rally.

    He also criticized the Trump administration’s treatment of immigrants, from separating children from adults at the border to housing migrants in detention centers, and just a general vilification of the contributions of immigrants.

    “We are making a stand for truth against lies and hate and ignorance and intolerance,” the potential 2020 Democratic candidate said. “We are going to show the country who we are. We’re going to make a stand to ensure that we live up to our promise, to our potential, to our purpose as a country.”

    “We will not take advantage of them,” O’Rourke added about immigrants. “We will not send them back to certain death. We will not believe that walls can or should keep them out. Instead, we welcome them with open arms.”

    Trump, meanwhile, at his rally painted a much darker image about the possible influx of new immigrants across the border, who he has characterized as bringing drugs and crime. Instead, the president argued that people should be allowed into the country based on merit.

    “The Democrat Party has never been more outside the mainstream. They’re becoming the party of socialism, late-term abortion, open borders and crime,” Trump said. He criticized Democrats for wanting to put a cap on the bed capacity at detention facilities, saying that would be “cutting loose dangerous criminals into our country.”

    “I will never sign a bill that forces the mass release of criminals into this country,” Trump said.

    Freshman congresswoman Omar sparks outrage over anti-Semitic tweet

    President Donald Trump on Monday said freshman Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar “should be ashamed of herself” over tweets suggesting that a powerful pro-Israel interest group paid members of Congress to support Israel.

    “I think she should be ashamed of herself,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One while flying to a campaign rally in El Paso, Texas, according to The Hill. “I think it was a terrible statement, and I don’t think her apology was adequate.”

    DEM REP. OMAR APOLOGIZES FOR ISRAEL COMMENTS, CALLS OUT ‘PROBLEMATIC’ ROLE OF AIPAC, ‘OTHER LOBBYISTS’

    The Minnesota congresswoman “unequivocally” apologized earlier Monday after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats rebuked her.

    Omar said she had no intention of offending anyone and thanked her colleagues for educating her on anti-Semitic tropes.

    When asked what she should have said, Trump replied, “She knows what to say.”

    Ocasio-Cortez spent the weekend lying about the ‘Green New Deal’ and the Washington Post is too scared to say so – Washington Examiner
    Ocasio-Cortez spent the weekend lying about the ‘Green New Deal’ and the Washington Post is too scared to say so – Washington Examiner

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., spent the weekend lying about the disastrous rollout of her preposterous “Green New Deal.” The Washington Post’s Fact Checker doesn’t dispute that. But it refused to give her any “Pinocchios” anyway because Trump.

    No, really.

    The paper has declined to flunk the congresswoman’s obvious falsehoods suggesting her House resolution is the target of a right-wing smear campaign, explaining that the president has made similarly misleading statements about the proposed bill.

    That one of the newspaper’s fact-checkers would go out of his way to soften what was an clear attempt by Ocasio-Cortez and her team to lie and mislead is bad enough. It’s made worse by the fact that the author of the Post article is also one of the reporters who awarded the president two “Pinocchios” last week when he said “ one in three [female migrants] is sexually assaulted on the long journey north” because, actually, “31.4 percent of women said they were ‘sexually abused’ on the journey, not ‘sexually assaulted’ as Trump says.”

    Ocasio-Cortez last week unveiled her much-anticipated “Green New Deal” proposal, which aims to remake the U.S. economy into a kinder and more environmentally friendly version of its current self. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the House resolution is absurd, especially the part where it calls for upgrading or replacing every single building in the country over a 10-year period “to achieve maximal energy efficiency, water efficiency, safety, affordability, comfort, and durability, including through electrification.”

    Adding an additional layer of unintentional humor to this unintentional comedy is the fact that the congresswoman’s staff circulated bizarre “ frequently asked questions” pages last week, one of which appeared on her webpage. The FAQs contained additional ideas and proposals not found in the actual legislation co-sponsored by more than 100 Democratic lawmakers.

    One FAQ made available to NPR claimed the bill’s aim is to lower fossil fuel emissions to “net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.” The NPR FAQ as well as the FAQ that appeared on Ocasio-Cortez’s webpage boasted that the bill would provide “economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work.”

    Perhaps realizing that they were making their position more difficult to defend, or take seriously, Ocasio-Cortez’s staff wisely pulled the FAQ from her webpage.

    This is where the congresswoman and her team made a concerted effort to mislead the public.

    “When your #GreenNewDeal legislation is so strong that the GOP has to resort to circulating false versions, but the real one nets 70 House cosponsors on Day 1 and all Dem presidential candidates sign on anyway,” the congresswoman complained on last Friday.

    Her tweet, which kicked off the narrative suggesting the ridiculous parts of her House resolution and FAQ pages were not, in fact, from her office, didn’t cite any GOP lawmaker or staffer. Rather, it cited only an obvious joke being shared by social media trolls “showing” the “Green New Deal” mandates that all men must urinate into empty milk jugs.

    Later that same say, Ocasio-Cortez advisor and Cornell University Law School Professor Robert Hockett was asked during a Fox News interview to explain the “unwilling to work” line. He responded by denying the authenticity of the FAQ page, saying, “I think you’re referring to some sort of document. … That’s erroneous. It’s the wrong document. That’s not us.”

    On Saturday, Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff admitted the FAQs were authentic but continued pushing the line that her office had fallen victim to a concerted misinformation campaign. Hockett also said Saturday that the FAQs were indeed legitimate, saying, “It appears there was more than one document being discussed yesterday, only one of which I had heard about with any definiteness by last evening after a long day of media appearances — namely, the one referred to by the Congresswoman in her tweet.” But the congresswoman herself kept at it this weekend, suggesting legitimate criticism for her ridiculous House resolution is suspect because of a shadowy GOP-led campaign to delegitimize her proposal.

    “There are multiple doctored GND resolutions and FAQs floating around. There was also a draft version that got uploaded + taken down. There’s also draft versions floating out there,” she tweeted.

    The official response from Ocasio-Cortez and her team went from denying they wrote what they wrote and claiming to be victims of a vicious right-wing smear, to admitting they wrote what they wrote, while still maintaining they are the victims of a vicious right-wing smear. And all of this because the congresswoman and her team panicked after scrutiny was applied to language they included in documents they shared with the public. It would have been fine if the FAQs were circulated by mistake. It would’ve been written off as a gaffe and quickly forgotten. The problem here is the congresswoman is clearly trying to mislead the public about what really happened, pushing some cock-and-bull story about the GOP circulating doctored version of the “Green New Deal.”

    This is where you think fact-checkers would come in handy. But no. The Washington Post published a fact-check whose “bottom line” read:

    Trump is misrepresenting the Green New Deal as the plan is currently written. The resolution in Congress is full of sweeping ambition and grand goals, but it’s also vaguer and more moderate than he says. There’s nothing in there about putting an end to cars or cows or air travel or the military.

    It’s also misleading for Ocasio-Cortez to mention “doctored” materials as she responds to these attacks. Most of the criticism she is responding to was
    based on documents from her office, not on fake plans for “recycling urine.”

    There’s a case to be made that the criticism about ending airplanes and cows was a stretch to begin with, since the resolution didn’t mention any of that and the FAQs were not definitive on those points. But Ocasio-Cortez has now disowned the FAQs and the statements that went beyond the resolution. The line about providing for people “unwilling to work” has been walked back completely. So we won’t be awarding any Pinocchios in this kerfuffle.

    It’s amazing how quickly a fact-checking operation can go from awarding “bottomless Pinocchios” to waxing poetic on the nature of “truth” depending on the party affiliation of the person it’s covering. It’s even more amazing that the newspaper that ran a $10 million Super Bowl ad this year praising journalists for covering the D-Day invasion couldn’t bring itself to say a 29-year-old Democratic congresswoman lied.

    Why the Trump admin wants more detention space for migrants and Democrats want a limit – NBC News
    Why the Trump admin wants more detention space for migrants and Democrats want a limit – NBC News

    WASHINGTON — Talks to avert another government shutdown broke down over the weekend — this time over Democrats’ demand for a cap on the number of undocumented immigrants who can be detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

    The issue has reared its head because the White House has asked for $4.2 billion for ICE to increase its capacity to detain immigrants to 52,000, up from 40,000 currently funded by Congress. Democrats want to cap the detention space ICE can use to hold immigrants in the interior of the country — away from the border — at 16,500.

    Here’s a look at what’s driving both sides to their positions.

    Why does ICE need more space?

    Currently, ICE is already holding more immigrants than Congress has authorized. Although it is only authorized to hold 40,000, there were 49,057 immigrants in ICE detention as of Feb. 6, according to the Senate Appropriations Committee. An ICE spokeswoman said the average daily population for this year as of Jan. 26 was 45,671.

    When ICE does not have funding for space, they may take funds from other areas or use contracts with prisons to find additional beds for immigrants.

    In the interior of the country, where Democrats would like to see a limit of 16,500 immigrants in detention, there are approximately 20,800 migrants being held, according to an ICE official authorized to speak on the subject.

    Who are these immigrants in ICE detention?

    President Donald Trump has repeatedly said ICE is holding dangerous criminals, including murderers. While ICE held immigrants in fiscal year 2018 who collectively were convicted on 54,630 charges, only 1,641 of the charges were homicide. The most frequent charges were for driving under the influence, followed by drug offenses, traffic offenses and immigration offenses (such as re-entering the country after a deportation order.)

    Why are noncriminal or nonviolent immigrants in ICE detention?

    Under President Barack Obama, ICE was told to prioritize immigrants convicted of serious crimes and those who posed threats to national security. As a result, in fiscal year 2016, 98 percent of immigrants arrested in the United States fit those priorities.

    Trump changed that practice, making every immigrant in the country illegally a priority for arrest and deportation by ICE. As a result, in fiscal year 2018, 20 percent of immigrants arrested by ICE had no criminal conviction.

    The ICE official told NBC News that 89 percent of immigrants currently being held in detention have been convicted or charged with crimes.

    Criminal immigrants in ICE detention have served their time in the U.S. penal system and are awaiting deportation.

    Why do Democrats want a cap?

    After high-profile deportations and raids by ICE, including arrests at courthouses and deportations of military spouses, some Democrats began calling for ICE to be abolished.

    Democrats on the conference committee negotiating the budget have pushed for ICE to cap its detention space so that noncriminals will be left out of ICE enforcement operations.

    Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, a Democrat from California and a member of the conference committee, said in a statement, “A cap on ICE detention beds will force the Trump administration to prioritize deportation for criminals and people who pose real security threats, not law-abiding immigrants who are contributing to our country.”

    A Democratic aide who reviewed the White House’s January budget request said the proposal “continues to assume that the only approach to handling recent border crossers is detention. This is also an historically high number of beds to maintain and could be used as a ‘bail out’ for ICE, which has been consistently operating well over its appropriated levels for detention space in the past few years.”

    Trump: The media refuses to acknowledge how well we’ve done

    President Trump held a campaign-style rally Monday night in El Paso, Texas — just as possible 2020 contender and former U.S. Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke led a border wall protest roughly a half-mile away.

    Trump’s event, held at the El Paso County Coliseum for his first “Make America Great Again Rally” of the year, didn’t identify the dueling rally nearby, in the town that sits along the U.S.-Mexico border, but the president did mention O’Rourke.

    The “young man” with a “great name,” “challenged us,” the president said in reference to O’Rourke.

    EL PASO BRISTLES AT TRUMP’S CLAIM THAT WALL MADE CITY SAFE

    “We have, let’s say, 35,000 people tonight, and [O’Rourke] has 200 people, 300 people — not too good,” Trump told the crowd. It was not immediately clear how many people were at Trump and O’Rourke’s events.

    Trump added, “In fact, what I would do is, I would say that may be the end of his presidential bid, but he did challenge it.”

    The president announced his rally last week during his second State of the Union address, in which he alleged El Paso is now one of the nation’s safest cities because of a “powerful barrier” that was put in place — a claim that others disputed.

    He reiterated that point on Monday night. Speaking to the crowd, in front of a large red banner that read, “finish the wall,” Trump said El Paso is one of the “safest cities” in America “thanks for a powerful border wall.”

    LAWMAKERS REACH ‘AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE’ IN BORDER SECURITY TALKS, WITH $1.3B FOR BARRIER

    He claimed that El Paso, compared to Juarez, Mexico, just across the southern border, had far less murders than the nearby Mexican city, adding: “Walls work.”

    Moments before the president took the stage Monday, lawmakers reached “an agreement in principle” to fund the government and avoid another partial government shutdown. The deal includes around $1.3 billion for a barrier along the southern border.

    Video

    Trump mentioned on stage that he didn’t know details, as news of the deal broke just before his rally, but acknowledged that “progress [was] being made” for border security.

    The White House last month agreed to a temporary spending bill to end a 35-day partial shutdown, although Trump said at the time that the move was not a “concession” and that he would not relent on his demands for a wall.

    BORDER-SECURITY ADVOCATES FORM ‘HUMAN WALL’ ALONG US-MEXICO BORDER

    The talks had cratered over the weekend because of Democratic demands to limit immigrant detentions by federal authorities, but lawmakers apparently broke through that impasse Monday evening.

    Trump — who touched on several topics throughout his rally — was interrupted several times throughout the event, seemingly by protesters. His supporters responded by shouting chants of “USA” and “finish the wall” over the disturbances.

    The president brought up embattled Gov. Ralph Northam, D-Va., after speaking on Democrats’ position on abortion. He said he liked Northam — who is facing calls to resign after his medical school yearbook page featured one person in blackface and another in a KKK robe — because he steers negative news coverage away from his administration.

    “I like him,” Trump said. “Keeps us out of the papers. I’d like to find a few more guys like this one.”

    Trump also mentioned Northam’s first news conference regarding the ordeal — “He almost moonwalked!” — in which the governor recalled how he darkened his skin when he dressed as Michael Jackson once for Halloween.

    Fox News’ Mike Emanuel, Chad Pergram and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    Freshman Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar apologizes for tweet about AIPAC’s influence in US politics

    ‘Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,’ tweeted Rep. Omar; chief congressional correspondent Mike Emanuel reports from Capitol Hill.

    Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., apologized Monday for comments in which she implied that a prominent pro-Israel lobby compensated lawmakers for their support of the Jewish state, but insisted on what she called “the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics.”

    PELOSI, DEM LEADERS CONDEMN REP. OMAR FOR ‘ANTI-SEMITIC’ LANGUAGE

    “Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,” Omar wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. “My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole. We have to always be willing to step back and think through criticism, just as I expect people to hear me when others attack me for my identity. This is why I unequivocally apologize.”

    “At the same time,” she added, “I reaffirm the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics, whether it be AIPAC [the American Israel Public Affairs Committee], the [National Rifle Association] or the fossil fuel industry. It’s gone on too long and we must be willing to address it.”

    Omar drew condemnation from members of both parties after she tweeted Sunday evening that AIPAC has been paying members of Congress to support Israel. On Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called on Omar to apologize, saying that “her use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel’s supporters is deeply offensive.”

    Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said it was “shocking to hear a Member of Congress invoke the anti-Semitic trope of ‘Jewish money.'” Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., called the comments “deeply disappointing and disturbing.”

    MCCARTHY ASKS DEMS TO DENOUCE ALLEGED ANTI-SEMITIC REMARKS: ‘THIS WILL NOT BE THE END OF THIS’

    “Her words are deeply hurtful and offensive, particularly as they build on a previous comment she made [in 2012] about Jews ‘hypnotizing’ the world in support of Israel — another old trope born of hate-filled texts like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” Nadler said. ” … In this fragile moment in our nation’s history, we must all redouble our efforts to engage in policy debates in ways that respect the dignity and humanity of all people.”

    Omar apologized last month for posting the tweet referenced by Nadler, which read: “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine#Israel.” As of Monday afternoon, the messages that caused the most recent furor were still posted on Omar’s Twitter page.

    Last month, Omar argued in a Yahoo! News interview that Israel could not be considered a democracy and compared it to the Islamic theocracy in Iran.

    “When I see Israel institute laws that recognize it as a Jewish state and does not recognize the other religions that are living in it, and we still uphold it as a democracy in the Middle East I almost chuckle because I know that if we see that any other society we would criticize it, call it out,” she said. “We do that to Iran, we do that to any other place that sort of upholds its religion. And I see that now happening with Saudi Arabia and so I am aggravated, truly, in those contradictions.”

    AIPAC responded Sunday night by tweeting: “We are proud that we are engaged in the democratic process to strengthen the US-Israel relationship. Our bipartisan efforts are reflective of American values and interests. We will not be deterred in any way by ill-informed and illegitimate attacks on this important work.”

    For the second time in a month, Ilhan Omar says she unknowingly spread anti-Semitism – Washington Examiner
    For the second time in a month, Ilhan Omar says she unknowingly spread anti-Semitism – Washington Examiner

    Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., claims that on Sunday when she sent out multiple tweets decrying the nefarious influence of Jewish money in American politics that she had no idea she was spreading anti-Semitism until she subsequently learned about the implications of her statements. That might have been a more compelling excuse if it weren’t for the fact that she used the exact same one last month, when explaining an earlier anti-Semitic tweet.

    On Sunday night, the freshman Democrat, who was given a slot on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, reacted to a story about a plan from the desk of House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., to “take action” against the anti-Semitism being exhibited on a regular basis by Omar and her ” sister” freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., by tweeting out “It’s all about the Benjamins baby.” She then followed it up by saying she meant AIPAC, and then promoted several other supportive tweets furthering the same argument about Jewish donor influence.

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., demanded that Omar apologize, and then Omar tweeted out a tortured statement in response.

    “Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,” Omar wrote. “My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole. We have to always be willing to step back and think through criticism, just as I expect people to hear me when others attack me for my identity. This is why I unequivocally apologize.”

    She went on to attack AIPAC as “problematic” while lumping them in with other special interest groups including the NRA and the fossil fuel industry.

    This tweet is completely insincere, however, given that just last month, she was forced to respond to criticism of an earlier tweet about the magical power of Jews to control world events, in which she wrote, “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”

    In a Twitter thread from less than three weeks ago, she wrote, “It was after my CNN interview that I heard from Jewish orgs. that my use of the word ‘Hypnotize’ and the ugly sentiment it holds was offensive.” She then added, “That statement came in the context of the Gaza War. It’s now apparent to me that I spent lots of energy putting my 2012 tweet in context and little energy is disavowing the anti-semitic trope I unknowingly used, which is unfortunate and offensive.”

    Clearly, she actually learned nothing.

    Omar’s response to the newest controversy will no doubt serve its purpose of allowing Democrats to move on. Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton, who criticized her initial tweet last night, thanked Omar ” for her leadership” in response to the “apology.” But any honest observer should see right through it.

    Trump Heads to El Paso to Champion Border Wall, While Opponents There March in Protest – The New York Times
    Trump Heads to El Paso to Champion Border Wall, While Opponents There March in Protest – The New York Times

    The crime rate then increased by 17 percent from 2006 to 2011. Construction of the wall began in 2008, under President George W. Bush, and was completed in mid-2009, during the Obama administration. Crime has ebbed and flowed within a fairly narrow band since then.

    Local officials, including Mayor Dee Margo, a Republican, have spoken out against Mr. Trump’s claims. Representative Veronica Escobar, a Democrat who recently won Mr. O’Rourke’s former seat, has demanded that the president apologize and meet with migrant families seeking asylum in the United States.

    Among lawmakers who represent border districts, there is remarkably little support for a wall, and Democrats in Washington have stuck to their refusal to give Mr. Trump the $5.7 billion he is requesting for it. The latest numbers floated by Democrats in their negotiations with their Republican counterparts are between $1.3 billion and $2 billion.

    Yet Mr. Trump has been undeterred. During his State of the Union address, he repeated grisly stories of violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants — never mind that the crime rate among immigrants is no higher than among native-born residents. He said a wall would stem the flow of deadly opioids and other illicit drugs into the United States — another dubious assertion, given that most drugs arrive at legal ports of entry.

    Mr. Trump’s aides are trying to build a momentum after what they believe was a speech well received by his political base. Unlike some of his predecessors, the president did not immediately leave on a road trip to sell the messages in the address. But he has been eager to return to rallies, which energize him and filled up his calendar before the midterm elections.

      Lake Shore Drive closed northbound – Crain’s Chicago Business
      Lake Shore Drive closed northbound – Crain’s Chicago Business

      Northbound Lake Shore Drive is closed at Randolph Street because of a “structural emergency” that will hit today’s rush hour—and the closure could last longer. 

      The city’s Office of Emergency Management & Communications announced the news on Twitter shortly before noon today. A spokesman for the Chicago Police Department said all traffic is being diverted at Randolph Street while the bridge over the Chicago River is being surveyed. All southbound traffic is running normally, he said.

      Chicago Department of Transportation spokeswoman Susan Hofer said the problem is on a ramp to Lake Shore Drive from Randolph. 

      CDOT said in a statement: “Crews are working to install a shoring tower as quickly as possible under the viaduct structure that carries northbound Lake Shore Drive. The road will be closed through Monday’s PM rush and possibly longer.

      “CDOT discovered a crack in a steel beam that supports the roadway,” the department said. “No injuries or damage to vehicles has been reported.”

      Traffic is detoured off of northbound Lake Shore Drive at Randolph and Monroe, westbound to Columbus, northbound to Lower Wacker Drive and back to northbound Lake Shore Drive, CDOT said.

      GOP strategist says Virginia ‘just got purple’ | TheHill – The Hill
      GOP strategist says Virginia ‘just got purple’ | TheHill – The Hill

      Republican strategist Holly Turner said on Monday that blackface scandals and sexual assault allegations surrounding Virginia’s top three Democratic elected officials have turned the commonwealth purple. 

      “Virginia just got purple,” Turner, who is the CEO of Stampede Consulting, told Hill.TV’s Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton during a panel discussion on “Rising.”

      Turner said she doesn’t think Gov. Ralph Northam (D), Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D) or Attorney General Mark Herring (D) will resign, despite numerous calls for them to step down from both state and national Democrats, adding that there could be an impact on the party in future elections.

      The Republican strategist noted that former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonKlobuchar says she will kick off campaign in Wisconsin, alludes to 2016 controversy Klobuchar jumps into 2020 race Elizabeth Warren: Carries the torch of economic populism in 2020 but can’t shake ancestry controversy MORE won the state by almost 40,000 votes. 

      “If you combine Trump’s votes with Gary JohnsonGary Earl JohnsonEx-Massachusetts gov rejoins GOP as he weighs Trump primary challenge Schultz presidential rollout ignites fury on left Hillicon Valley: Social media struggles with new forms of misinformation | US, Russia decline to join pledge on fighting cybercrimes | Trump hits Comcast after antitrust complaint | Zuckerberg pressed to testify before global panel MORE and Evan [McMullin], she only won by 40,000 votes,” Turner told Hill.TV. 

      Earlier this month, a photo emerged from Northam’s 1984 medical school yearbook page showing two individuals, one in blackface and the other in a Ku Klux Klan robe. Though the governor initially apologized for the racist photo, he has since denied that he was one of the two men in question. He did acknowledge that he once wore blackface to dress up like Michael Jackson, but has made it clear that he does not intend to resign. 

      Herring also admitted that he wore blackface when he dressed up as rapper Kurtis Blow at a college party 1980.

      Meanwhile, a second woman has come forward accusing Fairfax of sexual assault. Meredith Watson said last Friday that Fairfax raped her in 2000 when the two were in college. Stanford Professor Vanessa Tyson earlier had accused the lieutenant governor of forcing her to perform oral sex on him during the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston.

      Fairfax has called for an investigation into the allegations and denied any wrongdoing.

      Like Northam, he is also resisting calls to resign.

      “The one thing I want to make abundantly clear is that in both situations I knew at the time, and I know today, that the interactions were consensual,” Fairfax said in a statement issued last Saturday.

      Democrats reject backup plan to fund government if border talks fail – Washington Examiner
      Democrats reject backup plan to fund government if border talks fail – Washington Examiner

      Democrats are rejecting a backup proposal to temporarily fund the government if a broader border security deal falls through.

      A senior Democratic aide said Monday that Democrats will not agree to a yearlong spending bill to keep the Homeland Security Department funded because Democrats believe it would allocate too much money for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and too much money for barriers along the southern border.

      The opposition to such a plan might make it even more difficult for Congress to meet a Feb. 15 deadline to agree to some kind of spending deal that includes border security funding. Republicans are pushing for even more border security spending, including funds for a border wall, in the ongoing talks.

      But with little progress in those talks and Democratic threats to spike the level-funding backup plan, the chances are rising again that a partial government shutdown will happen at the end of this week. With no deal by Friday, dozens of agencies and nine departments would partially shutter for the second time this year.

      Democrats are saying specifically that they can’t agree to a continuing spending resolution unless it puts more limits on funding for ICE and a border barrier.

      “A so-called ‘clean’ full-year CR for Homeland Security would allow the Trump administration to increase funding for both physical barriers and ICE detention beds,” the Democratic aide said.

      Democrats want to limit ICE detentions to 16,500 between now and the end of the fiscal year, which is Sept. 30. That’s now a major sticking point in the bipartisan talks among lawmakers seeking a border security funding deal.

      Democrats want to cut the number of detention beds, which would prevent ICE from holding detainees.

      “Under a full-year CR, the Trump administration would fund ICE adult detention beds at a level of 46,000 or even higher,” the aide said. “In contrast, in conference negotiations, Democrats and Republicans had narrowed down the potential funding level for ICE to a range that would require ICE to ramp down the number of detention beds to between 34,000 and 38,500 by the end of the year.”

      The aide said the Trump administration also believes it would be able to use $2 billion in the CR for physical barriers along the U.S. Mexican border.

      “An acceptable compromise will fund border security without being overly reliant on physical barriers, and will include curbs on the Trump administration’s cruel immigration policies,” the aide said.

      On Monday afternoon, a group of bipartisan negotiators were huddled in the Capitol, attempting to revive talks that stalled after Democrats insisted on capping ICE detentions.
