Trump threatens to double Mexico tariffs over migrant caravan surge
Fox News • • nation
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump is threatening to double tariffs on Mexico if it does not stop a migrant caravan of about 1,500 people from Central America heading toward the U.S. southern border.
- Trump linked the caravan's movement to perceived Republican losses in the recent midterm elections and emphasized that migrants will not be accepted into the U.S.
- Democratic gains in state attorney general offices, including in Texas, may lead to reduced enforcement of strict immigration laws such as Texas's SB4, which allows prosecution of illegal border crossers.
- Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier strongly opposed amnesty and highlighted Florida's efforts to deport criminal illegal aliens, citing improved public safety as a result.
- The Supreme Court is considering whether to hear Iowa’s appeal on a law permitting arrest and prosecution of undocumented immigrants, with the incoming Democratic attorney general potentially declining to defend the law.
