Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of the Trump administration's "remain in Mexico" policy.
The policy has had devastating consequences for asylum seekers who are forced to wait in dangerous conditions in Mexico. We're investigating: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
80% of asylum seekers sent to Mexico to await court hearings report being victims of violence. Read more from @guardian: theguardian.com/us-news/2020/j…
@guardian The Trump administration isn't just making life difficult for asylum seekers. This week, the Supreme Court allowed the administration to go ahead with a policy that makes it easier to deny green cards to immigrants deemed likely to need public assistance: politico.com/news/2020/01/2…

Even with the overwhelming evidence of the president’s Ukraine scheme that has already accumulated, numerous questions remain — particularly about the potential involvement of top administration officials. We’re still seeking answers. americanoversight.org/the-ukraine-in…
We know that VP Pence had two engagements with President Zelensky during and immediately following the withholding of Ukraine aid, and had been originally slated to attend Zelensky’s inauguration in May 2019. americanoversight.org/the-investigat…
Documents we obtained from the State Department show a clear line of communication between Pompeo and Rudy Giuliani in March 2019, as the smear campaign against Amb. Marie Yovanovitch was heating up. americanoversight.org/state-departme…

The facts indeed have continued to emerge. Just today, @just_security reported on unredacted versions of emails we got through FOIA — showing OMB misled Congress about the Ukraine aid freeze: justsecurity.org/68614/exclusiv…
The unredacted emails also highlight the involvement of OMB general counsel Mark Paoletta — who has been reviewing redactions on released documents and was himself a central figure in the administration's efforts to withhold aid.

More questions about the Ukraine scheme remain, including about the potential involvement of top Trump administration officials. The facts will come out in the end — and we haven't reached the end. americanoversight.org/the-ukraine-in…

President Trump may have been nominally acquitted yesterday, but the public still needs the truth about the administration's Ukraine dealings. We're suing the State Dept. for records related to VP Mike Pence's involvement in the Ukraine pressure campaign: americanoversight.org/document/compl…
We're asking for records related to VP Pence's communications with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, records from his August/September 2019 trip to Europe, and communications between the Office of the Vice President and top State officials: americanoversight.org/document/compl…
The president is not above accountability. The paper trail is going to continue to come out. We have five more Ukraine-related document production deadlines scheduled in the next six weeks: americanoversight.org/investigation/…

Mexico: We might have to adopt a “safe third country” protocol if this agreement doesn’t work hotair.com/archives/2019/…
If Donald Trump’s triumph on Friday lacked anything, it was that Mexico had staved off a demand to change its asylum policies.
The Trump administration had demanded that Mexico adopt the “safe third country” protocol, by which asylum seekers would have to apply in the first safe country in which they set foot.

Today marks the one year anniversary of the Trump administration violating the Iran nuclear deal. In the past year Trump and his hawkish advisers have pursued a path of dangerous escalation that can lead to war with Iran.

In one year the Trump administration has: 1/9
1. Devastated Iran’s economy by reinstating sanctions. U.S. unilateral sanctions have plunged Iran’s economy into a deep recession and the soaring prices are hurting millions of ordinary citizens. 2/9
2. Asked for military options from the Pentagon to strike Iran. 3/9
