Trump-Appointed Judge Kills Biden Immigration Policy Days After Election

President Joe Biden's policy granting legal status to some spouses of U.S. citizens who entered the country illegally has been struck down by a federal judge appointed by President-elect Donald Trump.
Biden announced his "Keeping Families Together" initiative in June. The policy would have allowed around half a million spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens to apply for permanent residency without being forced to leave the country. Applicants were required to have no disqualifying criminal history and pose no threat to public safety, national security or border security.
Trump, who was elected to a second term with a decisive election win over Vice President Kamala Harris earlier this week, has promised strict immigration policies upon his return to the White House. The president-elect has vowed to implement the largest mass deportation of undocumented migrants in history, while also suggesting that he may deport some migrants who are in the country legally.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker, appointed to the bench by Trump in 2019, sided with Texas and more than a dozen other Republican-led states in a lawsuit seeking to strike down the policy. It is unclear whether the Biden administration intends to appeal the ruling, although Trump would likely kill the policy next year if Thursday's decision were reversed.................................
The Truth is that #Republicans who voted for Trump do not Care what kind of person he is!!
The Repugs do not care that Trump lies to their faces, that he is cruel, selfish and mean--
which is his character. Yet, these folks somehow think that Trump will "fix" everything-or things that matter to them.
The sane people of Mother Earth are laughing at the #USA--
The Miscalculations That Sent Kamala Harris to a Devastating Loss
Her campaign misread an electorate that was more wound up about inflation and immigration than about Donald Trumps character

Kamala Harriss advisers felt like they couldnt believe their luck.
Heading into Election Day, Donald Trump kept making controversial comments they thought would play right into their strategy of showing voters he was unfit for another term. They were optimistic the vice president was on the precipice of victory in a race they viewed as on a knifes edge. Her final campaign appearance, on the iconic ......................

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Amtrak has canceled services between Albuquerque, New Mexico (ABQ) and Kansas City (KCY) today, November 7.
Amtrak announced via X that due to severe weather, Train 4 will be canceled with no alternate transportation provided. This comes after Northeast New Mexico was placed under a winter storm warning by NWS.
According to NWS, the city of Albuquerque and the surrounding area is currently under a winter storm warning until at least November 8 at 11 a.m. NWS also claims that the area is expected to receive three to seven inches of snow by the time the storm is over.

Residents across New Mexico and Colorado hunkered down in biting wintry conditions Thursday that made roads impassable, as forecasters predicted there could be historic amounts of snow in the region.
Several inches of snow were expected in lower elevations. Forecasters said it could be a matter of "feet, not inches" in the Sangre de Cristo, Jemez and Sandia-Manzano mountains in New Mexico.

..."we just voted to give the guy who broke it all last time two more Supreme Court justices. "
I have not thought about the SC as a consequence of trumps re-election.
But am reminded, this is another consequence.

Trump's win could lead companies to push up prices. Here's why

As President-elect Donald Trump readies to return to the Oval Office, U.S. retailers that depend on foreign suppliers are prepared to pass along the cost of his proposed import tariffs to consumers, potentially leading to higher prices for a range of products.
......................
...................
For example, a $40 toaster oven would retail for $48 to $52 after the tariffs, while a $50 pair of running shoes would jump to to $59 to $64, according to the industry trade group. A $2,000 mattress and box spring set would cost $2,128 to $2,190, the NRF said.
During President-elect Trump's first term in office, his administration imposed tariffs of up to 25% on more than $360 billion in products from China. President Joe Biden's White House kept most of those tariffs and added more onto goods including Chinese electric cars and microchips.
Now, Trump has said he plans to impose a 60% tax on goods from China and a 10% to 20% levy on all of the $3 trillion in foreign goods the U.S. imports annually. Such sweeping tariffs would reignite inflation, as they would mostly be paid by U.S. consumers, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned, offering a general view widely shared by other economists on both sides of the political aisle...............

Tariffs were a big issue during the campaigns--but seems most thought it would not affect them.

Baldwin declares victory as Milwaukee absentee ballots push her into lead over Hovde
November 6, 2024 4:43 am
Dem U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin early this morning declared victory after Milwaukees final tally of its absentee ballots pushed her to a nearly 16,000-vote lead over GOP businessman Eric Hovde.
Baldwins campaign said it expected that margin to grow as communities such as Oshkosh and Racine reported their final results.
With 97% of precincts reporting, Baldwin had 49.2% of the vote, compared to Hovdes 48.7%. That was a margin of just less than 16,000 votes.
If Baldwins margin holds up, she will be the first Wisconsin candidate for U.S. Senate since 1968 to win an election when the nominee for the other party won the presidential race. Dem Gaylord Nelson that year won reelection even as Republican Richard Nixon took Wisconsins electoral votes in a landslide national election........................

Trump ally Lindsey Graham sends warning to special counsel Jack Smith
Source: msn
Story by Guardian staff 5h
South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham has sent an ominous message to special counsel Jack Smith as Donald Trump was on the precipice of being announced as the winner of the 2024 election.
Early on Wednesday morning, mere moments before Trump took the stage in West Palm Beach, Florida, to give his victory speech, Graham posted a note on X to Jack Smith and your team.
It is time to look forward to a new chapter in your legal careers as these politically motivated charges against President Trump hit a wall, Graham wrote.
..............
Smith and his team detailed their case against Trump in a 165-page filing that was unsealed in October, in which they argued that Trump should not be entitled to immunity from prosecution. In the filing, federal prosecutors said that Trump resorted to crimes in a failed bid to cling to power after losing the 2020 election and that he is not entitled to immunity from prosecution.
......................
Since the unsealing of Smiths case in October, Trump has spoken publicly about how he would immediately fire Smith if he were re-elected.

It is more than a warning. I am sure that with the help of Graham and other Repugs, the first thing Trump will do Jan 20 is to pardon himself--then fire Jack Smith.
This election was all about Trumps self-preservation--and we will see the dreaded results come Jan 20.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin's watch party has come to an end. .........
