President Trump revealed that his administration was in a process of designating as Foreign Terrorist Organizations at least some Mexican drug cartels.

Two CIS fellows present arguments for and against the FTO designation for Mexican cartels.

cis.org/Press-Release/…
Dan Cadman:

"From this author's perspective, proclaiming the cartels as FTOs is not only a logical step, it's long overdue."

cis.org/Cadman/Its-Tim…
Todd Bensman:

"Absent advance scoping, needs analysis, criteria-setting, and human-resources planning, the workload could crush American counterterrorism infrastructure overnight."

A granular view of exactly how and why the president's efforts to stymie a mass migration — a combination of foreign diplomatic initiatives and innovative deterrence policies — blunted the wave of illegal immigrants.

Because of intense security at all borders, Central Americans no longer go on their own

To get around the Mexican troops, they now must hire human smugglers who have been forced to significantly hike their fees.

cis.org/Bensman/SixMon…
The massive U.S. return of 55,000 Central American asylum seekers back to Mexico under the "Remain in Mexico" asylum policy has messaged "long odds" to those still downstream of making it across to live illegally.

We've updated our overview of #S386. We'll see it in the new year...

cis.org/Vaughan/Senate…
The amended #S386 bill goes well beyond dealing with the per country cap issue. It also creates a new form of legal status called "early filing."

cis.org/Vaughan/Senate…
Under #S386, those on a long-term temporary visa who can secure a job offer requiring a college degree will, after a wait of 270 days, be able to obtain a three-year renewable work permit and permission to travel in and out of the country.

#BorderCrisis Peak, #Mexico Cooperation, and Judicial Wrangling

The year began with President Trump declaring a #NationalEmergency at the southern #Border. theepochtimes.com/year-in-review…
The #BorderCrisis escalated, and in May, nearly 133,000 #IllegalAliens were apprehended by #BorderPatrol, with a further 11,000 presenting at ports of entry without legal documentation.

By the end of fiscal 2019, almost 1 million people had entered the US illegally.
Over 600,000 of them were either individuals within a family unit or unaccompanied minors—both vulnerable populations that often arrived sick and required more care than #BorderPatrol was set up to provide.

#NXIVM #MEXICO Thread.
In my research since the #NXIVMtrial ended almost 4 weeks ago, I discovered that #NXIVM #Mexico was/is MASSIVE, with ties to
#Government
#Hollywood (JamesBond?!)
and #Media
They HAD (still HAVE?) big plans…
2/ During the trial, Mark Vicente testified that Keith Raniere bragged that #NXIVM was so massive, with so many interconnected companies under the NXIVM umbrella, that it couldn’t be taken down.
Really?
Well, even the US Gov’t said it was big…
Much discovery evidence>sealed.
3/ So how big was (is) it?
Remember the Sony Hacks(?!)
In 2015, it was revealed via those leaked emails that the Mexican government paid $20 million (in form of tax breaks etc) to Sony/MGM for a script rewrite on the upcoming James Bond film, Spectre: cinemablend.com/new/Was-James-…

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
