U.S. Customs and Border Protection led a massive crackdown on truck fraud in Arizona, resulting in 95 illegal truck drivers being arrested. Most of the illegal aliens had fake California licenses, and many were trafficking drugs, weapons, and humans. The Sekulow team discusses the Trump Administration's emphasis on border security, CDL fraud, the work of CBP federal agents, the ACLJ's legal work – and much more.

 Today Joe opens with a direct question for the President himself, courtesy of Tina: does the federal government have an obligation to secure our elections? From there, Joe walks through DHS's newly announced mandatory random paper ballot audits for the 2026 midterms — and the case that states owe voters real safeguards if they want federal reimbursement dollars. Then the gloves come off: Colorado AG Phil Weiser's CNN appearance fighting to block "federal meddling" gets the gaslighting treatment it deserves, before Harmeet Dhillon breaks down why Trump's election executive order — built to ensure only eligible, law-abiding citizens can vote — is far harder to challenge than critics think.Joe sits down with Juan O'Savin, the strategist and co-founder of the America First Secretary of State Coalition, for a rare, wide-ranging conversation on where the fight for 2026 really stands. O'Savin explains what he actually means by his recent claim that the midterms "can't be fixed," weighs in on whether there's still a realistic path to a secure November given the SAVE Act's stall and this week's Supreme Court ruling, and previews the next move he's watching for from Trump to turn the tide before Election Day.Joe destroys attorney Marc Elias's on-air meltdown over the Supreme Court's ruling and ties straight back to the Coomer saga and a decade of stolen elections. Then former Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino joins Tucker Carlson with a staggering number: over 100 million illegal immigrants inside the country, by CBP's own information. Bovino goes further, recounting a conversation with a young American who no longer even recognizes his own country — a nation where women line up to defend baby-strangling, most students read below grade level, homeownership feels out of reach, and political violence is becoming normal, underscored by a chaotic clash where MAGA activists were doused in blue paint outside an LA Starbucks. Joe closes the show with one question hanging over all of it: what does America even look like now?

This episode is presented by Create A Video – Paul Perez, President of the National Border Patrol Council, joins me to discuss the state of the border and the union's endorsement of Michael Whatley for US Senate in North Carolina. It marks the fourth major law enforcement union that has endorsed the Republican over Democrat Roy Cooper - who has been trying to combat the image that he was soft on crime as NC Attorney General and Governor.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com

We've all seen how Customs and Border Protection has run roughshod over the civil rights of immigrants both legal and undocumented alike across the country. But if you're an American citizen, you might not think that these abuses could ever happen to you. In fact, maybe the only time you've ever even seen Border Protection agents has been at the airport. And yet, that's where journalist Matthew Petti got detained for hours by Border agents. Now he's trying to figure out what happened and how to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. We spoke with Matthew about his experience with CBP and your rights as an American at the airport.And in headlines, Canada announced retaliatory tariffs on about $20 billion worth of American goods, two people in Pennsylvania have died from measles, and a federal judge rejected Ghislaine Maxwell's bid for prison release.Show Notes: Check out Matthew's story – tinyurl.com/bdz6cj4d Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please email transcripts@crooked.com

This episode is presented by Create A Video – The owner of a Charlotte bakery that has been virtually beatified by local media and Democrats (but I repeat myself) confronted the former US Border Patrol commander, Gregory Bovino, who was in the parking lot doing a podcast. Manolo Betancur then parlayed the encounter into a press release, speech at City Hall, and an appeal for more support. Bovino led the immigration enforcement action in Charlotte last year - which prompted Betancur to close his bakery. He claims he did it to protect his employees and customers. Bovino says he probably closed because he's employing illegal aliens.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com  

This episode is presented by Create A Video – A Charlotte business owner held up as a local hero during the immigration enforcement operation here last year encountered the former Border Patrol commander who led the effort. But when Greg Bovino engaged in the argument with Manolo Betancu, it was evident that the baker from Colombia had only surface-level slogans and could not get any deeper. Despite all of his media interviews over the past year, this is probably the first time he's actually been challenged to defend his opinions.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com  

In this episode, we kick things off at the Texas border, where U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers uncovered a massive narcotics smuggling operation hiding in plain sight. On August eleventh at the Roma International Bridge, CBP officers directed a tractor-trailer arriving from Mexico to secondary inspection after it declared a routine commercial detergent shipment. Using nonintrusive inspection equipment and a canine team, authorities discovered over 1,000 pounds of suspected methamphetamine concealed within the detergent load, with a staggering street value exceeding $9.57 million. Port Director Andres Guerra credited advanced technology and frontline vigilance with identifying the contraband in what appeared to be routine freight. Next, we explore the intermodal sector, where RoadOne IntermodaLogistics is aggressively expanding its Port of Charleston footprint through strategic acquisition. The Randolph, Massachusetts-based provider announced it has acquired Higgins Transport Service, a Charleston-based drayage and intermodal provider, adding fifteen drivers and critical capacity to serve the Southeastern market. RoadOne recently opened a massive 384,000-square-foot facility in Summerville, South Carolina, and plans to add another 279,700-square-foot warehouse on the 100-acre property next year to support its growing Southeast global trade corridor operations. Finally, we break down major leadership upheaval rocking the trucking industry's most prominent trade organization as Chris Spear departs as president and CEO of the American Trucking Associations, effective immediately. Spear had recently observed his ten-year anniversary in the role and was just beginning an extension of his contract—a five-year deal signed in 2021 was extended in 2024 until 2029. ATA chairman Greg Hodgen said a search has begun to identify the organization's next leader, while assuring members that ATA remains strong, focused, and fully engaged in delivering results.

Florida is a red state, but it's never without interest and intrigue. Byron Donalds is going to destroy everybody in the Republican primary for governor. He's been a Trump loyalist, has Trump's endorsement, and all the rumors about Casey DeSantis running amounted to a hill of beans. Alex Vindman will likely win the Democratic Senate primary before losing to Ashley Moody in November. But the more interesting races are farther down the ballot, where several people may be out of politics forever when this is over.Florida's newly redrawn 22nd District has seven Republicans competing for what'll likely be a safe Republican seat. It's also where I finally found my line on AI-generated political content. A website attacking Belinda Keiser includes an AI image depicting her having sex with Jeffrey Epstein. I've had a lot of tolerance for campaigns turning metaphors and fantasies into images, but I guess my line in the sand is a candidate getting piped by Jeffrey Epstein. Now we know. David Burke appeared to be surging at the end, but there isn't much reliable polling.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The race I'm watching most closely is Florida's 7th District, where Corey Mills is seeking a third term against former television sports reporter Ryan Elijah. To say Mills is scandal-plagued is to say Pinocchio is only helping Monstro's dental health, babe. Mills has faced allegations involving two former girlfriends, while the House Ethics Committee is examining possible sexual misconduct, inaccurate financial disclosures, campaign-finance violations, improper gifts, special favors tied to his office, and misuse of congressional resources. He denies wrongdoing. Sparse public polling suggests he could lose, and Republicans in Washington are desperately hoping he does.In Florida's 20th District, redistricting pushed Debbie Wasserman Schultz into a traditionally Black seat. She's running against former representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, Dale Holness, Elijah Manley, and Uncle Luke himself, Luther Campbell. With four Black candidates dividing the vote and no runoff in Florida primaries, Wasserman Schultz only needs a plurality. I think she'll win. Let the sun shine down and reveal the truth as Florida votes — and start a stopwatch when the polls close, because these races will probably be called within about 90 minutes. Shocking how fast that can go. Just saying.Congressional Democrats are preparing another war-powers challenge after Trump threatened to bomb Oman if it obstructs efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. They've been looking for another non-affordability way to hit Trump over Iran, and this is a good strategy. It's a historically unpopular war, and they want to tie him to it every way they can. Meanwhile, the administration has paused construction of a border wall inside Big Bend National Park while CBP reviews the project. Not all border is created equal. Big Bend accounts for a small share of crossings, and there are easier, lighter ways to patrol an area where somebody might still have to walk for three days after crossing.ABC has also filed a First Amendment lawsuit accusing the FCC of retaliating against the network for its editorial decisions. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has threatened to revoke ABC's license amid his fight with the network, particularly over Jimmy Kimmel's comments about Charlie Kirk's death. It's not surprising that ABC is bringing a legal challenge, even if only as a predicate to any FCC action. If you're ABC and the chairman of the FCC threatens your license, it would be malpractice not to take him seriously and prepare in case it actually happens.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:04:08 - Florida Races00:20:49 - Oman00:25:47 - Border Wall00:28:02 - ABC Sues FCC00:29:35 - Brian Brushwood on the Nuances of Texas' Electorate01:25:20 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Episode 4203 │ August 12, 2026 A license plate is just a number. In database language it's a join key — the field that unlocks every system built to watch you since 9/11. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson issues corrections on last episode's Portland bomb case and data-sharing details before delivering the second half of the surveillance architecture series — establishing that the license plate itself is a join key, the database field that lets separate government and private systems merge into one unified profile, and that a Leonardo U.S. patent for signal-tracking technology, mounted on the same poles as license plate cameras, is quietly fusing plate data with phone, fitness tracker, and RFID signatures to identify vehicles even when plates are removed or obscured. The episode maps the full fusion layer beneath that single join key: a $1 billion DHS contract with Palantir covering CBP, ICE, and CISA, a pending $6.7 million ICE contract for LexisNexis access to 82 billion records with a stated purpose of stopping crime and fraud before it materializes, an FBI Babel X contract scanning 20,000 social media keyword searches monthly, and a private nonprofit called AAMVA that controls a national driver's license pointer database immune to public records requests — with real ID compliance quietly requiring states to feed it. Scott closes on the actionable core of the series: 39 ALPR contracts already terminated in five months through citizen audits, a new free downloadable DMV audit template asking the two questions that matter most — does your photo travel across state lines, and can the data field expand without telling your state — and the charge that this is spiritual warfare fought not with cut wires but with documented information, presented calmly, county commission by county commission. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED  What is a join key — and why does understanding the license plate as a database field rather than just an identifier reveal how separate surveillance systems, from Leonardo's signal-tracking patent to Palantir's DHS contract to the FBI's Babel X social media scanner, are quietly merging into one unified profile of every American? What is the AAMVA and the SPEXS pointer database — and why does the fact that it is a private nonprofit immune to public records requests, controlling what data fields travel across state lines under Real ID compliance, mean that a national ID database effectively exists without ever being legislated? What does ICE's own procurement language — identifying fraud "before crime and fraud can materialize" — reveal about the pre-crime architecture being built into these systems, and what specific two questions should every citizen ask in a DMV data audit to expose it at the local level?

On this episode of the Immigration Lawyer's Toolbox Podcast, host John Khosravi sits down with Jeff Goldman, Esq., founder of Goldman & Partners Immigration and co-founder of Build Talent Labs, for a candid look at how a "serendipitous" career turn into immigration law became a 30+ year, 32-person firm built almost entirely on referrals from the client who talked him into immigration law after a real estate closing, to the EB-1A case for an MIT researcher that opened the door to a decade of extraordinary-ability petitions, to how he set (and steadily raised) his fees at Testa, Hurwitz & Israel and beyond. Jeff also breaks down his current work at Build Talent Labs, the cap-exempt H-1B, J-1, and O-1 agent sponsorship model he co-founded with his daughter Danielle, his eight years as immigration advisor to the Governor of Massachusetts, and what it's really like working with CBP at Logan Airport, including a firsthand story of getting a client released after 48 hours in secondary inspection.

Mucho se habla de los historiales que tienen los inmigrantes, pero poco de los oficiales y agentes migratorios que, a su vez, han sido acusados —o condenados— por delitos violentos. Actualmente, hay unos 50.000 agentes repartidos entre el Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE por sus siglas en inglés), la Patrulla Fronteriza y otros organismos de control de la inmigración. El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) ha eliminado la mayoría de los mecanismos de supervisión, desmantelando su Oficina de Derechos Civiles y Libertades Civiles, que investigaba los abusos de las autoridades de inmigración. Y tras el desmantelamiento de esta oficina de control interno de ICE, estos operan con menos medidas de control al mismo tiempo que han recibido más recursos del Congreso. Según un nuevo informe de la Alianza de Inmigrantes de Ohio, unos 59 agentes activos o retirados de ICE y la CBP han sido acusados de delitos sexuales y violentos entre 2007 y 2026, muchos de esos casos se refieren a denuncias de violencia sexual, y muchos de estos involucran a menores. Así que para hablar del informe con la lista de agentes y las dudas que plantean sobre la rendición de cuentas en el interior de uno de los organismos policiales más poderosos del gobierno federal, invitamos a Lynn Tramonte, directora ejecutiva de la Alianza de Inmigrantes de Ohio y autora del informe.

VOV1 - Thượng viện Mỹ ngày 8/8 đã thông qua dự luật chi tiêu tạm thời với tỷ lệ áp đảo 90 phiếu thuận, 6 phiếu chống, nhằm duy trì hoạt động của các cơ quan liên bang đến đầu tháng 12 và tránh nguy cơ chính phủ phải đóng cửa trước thềm cuộc bầu cử giữa nhiệm kỳ. Đây là động thái khá bất thường khi Quốc hội hành động gần hai tháng trước thời hạn kết thúc năm tài khóa vào ngày 30/9. Thông thường, các dự luật chi tiêu tạm thời chỉ được thông qua vào sát ngày, thậm chí những giờ cuối cùng trước khi chính phủ có nguy cơ phải đóng cửa.Dự luật của Thượng viện có một số điểm khác với phiên bản do Hạ viện thông qua trước đó, trong đó không bao gồm khoản ngân sách bổ sung cho Cơ quan Thực thi Di trú và Hải quan (ICE) và Cơ quan Hải quan và Bảo vệ Biên giới (CBP). Hai cơ quan này đã được cấp ngân sách hoạt động đến hết nhiệm kỳ của Tổng thống Donald Trump theo các đạo luật được Quốc hội thông qua trước đó.Cuộc bỏ phiếu diễn ra trong bối cảnh các thượng nghị sĩ muốn hoàn tất những nội dung lập pháp quan trọng trước khi rời Washington bước vào kỳ nghỉ Hè kéo dài 5 tuần. Lãnh đạo phe đa số tại Thượng viện John Thune cũng thúc đẩy xử lý sớm dự luật để tránh nguy cơ bế tắc ngân sách khi Quốc hội trở lại làm việc vào tháng 9.Trước đó, vào cuối tháng 7, Tổng thống Donald Trump từng cảnh báo chính phủ liên bang có thể phải đối mặt với một đợt đóng cửa khác ngay từ tháng 9 nếu Quốc hội không sớm đạt được thỏa thuận về chi tiêu.Đợt đóng cửa một phần gần đây nhất chỉ kết thúc vào ngày 1/5 sau khi Tổng thống Trump ký ban hành dự luật cấp ngân sách cho Bộ An ninh Nội địa. Trước đó, do bất đồng về phân bổ ngân sách, bộ này đã phải đóng cửa một phần trong hai tháng.Dự luật sẽ được chuyển sang Hạ viện xem xét khi các nghị sĩ trở lại làm việc vào tháng 9. Nếu được thông qua, văn bản sẽ được trình Tổng thống Donald Trump ký ban hành. Tuy nhiên, nghị quyết này chỉ mang tính tạm thời nhằm duy trì hoạt động của chính phủ đến đầu tháng 12, trong khi những cuộc đàm phán khó khăn về ngân sách đầy đủ cho năm tài khóa mới vẫn còn ở phía trước.Quang Trung/VOV MỹThượng viện Mỹ (Ảnh: QT)

ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, seems to have a mandate to kill. They've struck again!Welcome to this explosive, fact-finding episode of Light ‘Em Up.On Tuesday July 7th in the early morning hours, 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo took his coffee and food his wife had prepared for him, said goodbye to his wife and their dog, and left the house he built.He drove his white van, picked up three co-workers, and headed towards a construction site to work on some houses.But Salgado never made it to work.During a “targeted enforcement operation”, ICE officers shot and killed Salgado and arrested the three other men.ICE says Lorenzo Salgado Araujo tried to ram agents with a van before one shot him dead.  Almost immediately, questions emerged over how the encounter had escalated.  In initial statements, homeland security officials said that Mr. Salgado Araujo had tried to use his vehicle as a weapon.History and the evidence have shown that ICE has a long track record of lying. They lied about Renee Good and they lied about Alex Pretti as well. Pam Bondi immediately held a national press conference to spin farcical stories to help cover the Trump administration's asses.  Claiming that agents shot Renee Good because she “refused commands to exit her vehicle” and “attempted to run over an officer with her car” — weaponizing her vehicle.Through their legal representation, the three witnesses who were in the vehicle with Mr. Araujo (all Mexican nationals) dispute the account by ICE of the fatal shooting. A lawyer for these men (a Mr. Hugo Balderas-Ibarra) said that account of ICE was untrue.Salgado's death marks the 10th of 11 fatal shootings by federal immigration officials nationwide since the second Trump administration took office, a review of public reports by Light ‘Em Up shows — as the Trump administration continues with its anti-immigrant crackdown.For 35 years, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was undocumented and chasing the American Dream.  He hoped to obtain legal status, his family said. Those dreams ended when he was gunned down in the streets — something you wouldn't even do to a rabid dog — gunned down last week by an immigration agent who was looking for a different man.This comes on the heels of learning that there will be no charges for the federal officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti.In this incendiary episode we'll investigate in-depth:—     Can you sue an ICE agent who has gone rogue?—     Will there be any accountability in this case?—     Will the government try to protect their story and deport the witnesses before they have an opportunity to tell their full stories in a court of law?—     With the Trump administration, does ICE have a mandate to kill?The deadly confrontation has set off protests in Houston, prompted investigations by local and federal officials, and renewed national focus on President Trump's mass deportation campaign.An independent inquiry has been called for in this specific case.  Will one be granted? If yes, what might be the outcome? Only time will tell.Trust isn't something that this administration has built up regarding any topic — especially as it relates to ICE enforcement and matters of immigration.—     Can the federal government ever be trusted under this administration to tell the truth?We speak the truth, protect the vulnerable and always pursue justice.Tune in for all the explosive details and our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot!We want to hear from you!Support the show

Host: Cindy Allen Published: August 7, 2026 Length: ~15 min Presented by: Global Training Center Summary International trade compliance is getting more complicated—and the tools used to enforce it are getting smarter. In this week's Simply Trade update, Cindy Allen puts a trade-compliance spin on Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department and breaks down a busy week of tariff changes, forced-labor developments, enforcement activity, and technology. Cindy examines new Section 232 developments affecting pharmaceuticals, solar-grade polysilicon and derivative products, along with proposed additions to existing copper, steel, and aluminum measures. The growing focus on derivative products means importers increasingly need visibility beyond the finished good, including components, raw materials, suppliers, pricing, origin, and potential exemptions. She also explores CBP's increasing reliance on AI and advanced analytics, recent duty-evasion findings, UFLPA developments, China's countermeasures, and complications surrounding IEEPA duty refunds. The bigger message for trade professionals: enforcement isn't likely to disappear. As governments gain better analytical capabilities, companies need equally strong visibility into their supply chains. Technology can help uncover risk—but experienced trade professionals still have to interpret the data and make the right compliance decisions. This Week in Trade • New Section 232 requirements affecting solar-grade polysilicon and derivative products are adding another layer of supply-chain complexity. • Commerce has proposed adding 14 products to existing Section 232 measures covering copper, steel, and aluminum. • CBP's roadmap through 2030 highlights AI, analytics, interoperability, and increasingly sophisticated enforcement capabilities. • Forced-labor enforcement, China countermeasures, duty-evasion cases, and IEEPA refund validation issues continue to create compliance challenges. Main Topic / Discussion The trade environment is moving beyond traditional questions about classification, value, and country of origin. Importers increasingly need visibility deep into their supply chains to understand the components and raw materials contained in finished products, the parties involved, applicable pricing rules, and whether exemptions apply. At the same time, CBP is becoming more sophisticated in how it identifies risk. Advanced analytics can connect activity across suppliers and transactions that an importer may not immediately see. For companies, that makes supply-chain visibility and technology increasingly important. AI can help organize and analyze enormous amounts of trade data, but technology alone isn't the answer. Trade professionals still need to evaluate the results, understand the regulatory context, and determine the actual compliance risk. Key Takeaways • Section 232 derivative-product measures mean importers may need visibility all the way down to component and raw-material levels. • CBP's growing use of AI and analytical tools makes deeper supply-chain connections easier for enforcement teams to identify. • Companies should not assume heightened enforcement will disappear with future political or leadership changes. • Trade teams should evaluate whether their existing technology provides enough visibility to identify tariff exposure, exemptions, forced-labor concerns, and supplier-level risks before regulators do.

Host: Lalo Solorzano & Andy Shiles Guest(s): Valerie Sorensen-Clark Published: July 30, 2026 Length: ~25 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary What happens when a court rules that tariffs were improperly imposed—and how can importers recover the money they've already paid? In this episode of Simply Trade, hosts Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles welcome international trade attorney Valerie Sorensen-Clark of GDLSK. Drawing from her unique experience as former U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) counsel, Valerie explains the current status of IEEPA tariff litigation and what businesses should expect as CBP processes refunds. The discussion breaks down the difference between liquidated and unliquidated entries, why those distinctions matter, and how the new CAPE refund process is being implemented. Valerie also shares behind-the-scenes insight into the legal and operational challenges CBP faces while building systems to process unprecedented tariff refunds. Whether you're an importer, customs broker, trade professional, or legal advisor, this conversation offers practical guidance on determining your eligibility, understanding the refund process, and knowing when it's time to consult customs counsel. If your company paid IEEPA tariffs, this episode provides valuable context on what comes next and how to prepare. Main Topic / Discussion The conversation focuses on the evolving legal landscape surrounding IEEPA tariffs following recent court decisions and what those rulings mean for importers seeking refunds. Valerie explains: Why the courts determined the IEEPA tariffs exceeded statutory authority. The operational rollout of CBP's CAPE refund process. The critical distinction between liquidated and unliquidated entries. Why some refunds can be processed immediately while others require additional court action. Practical steps importers should take now to determine their options. Key Takeaways • Court decisions have opened the door for many importers to recover improperly collected IEEPA tariffs. • Understanding whether an entry is liquidated or unliquidated is critical because it determines how refunds may be processed. • CBP has made significant progress implementing the CAPE refund process but continues expanding functionality for more complex entry types. • Importers with significant tariff exposure should consult an experienced customs attorney to evaluate potential recovery opportunities.

A year of making international trade make sense—one Taylor Swift song at a time. Host: Cindy Allen Published: July 31, 2026 Length: ~16:19 Presented by: Global Training Center Summary One year ago, Cindy's Version debuted with a simple mission: make international trade news easier to understand—one Taylor Swift song at a time. In this anniversary episode, Cindy celebrates the milestone while tackling another week packed with major developments impacting importers, customs brokers, and global supply chains. Using Taylor Swift's "...Ready For It?" as the theme, Cindy explores the latest discussions surrounding de minimis changes, duty enforcement, USMCA negotiations, new pharmaceutical Section 232 tariffs, and CBP's continued focus on trade enforcement. More importantly, she explains why companies should stop reacting to trade actions and instead prepare for them through proactive planning. The episode's biggest takeaway isn't tied to any single tariff announcement. It's about building an organizational playbook that brings together compliance, finance, legal, procurement, sales, and executive leadership before the next trade action arrives. With regulatory changes becoming more frequent and enforcement continuing to increase, preparation has become one of the most valuable competitive advantages a company can have. Whether you're an importer, customs broker, compliance professional, or executive responsible for global supply chains, this anniversary episode offers practical guidance for staying ready in today's constantly evolving trade environment. This Week in Trade • CBP receives extensive feedback on proposed de minimis changes and postal parity concerns. • CBP announces more than $1 billion recovered through Enforce and Protect Act (EAPA) duty evasion investigations. • USMCA negotiations continue amid reported disagreements surrounding Sections 232 and 301 tariffs. • New Section 232 requirements for patented pharmaceuticals introduce additional reporting responsibilities for importers and customs brokers. Main Topic / Discussion International trade has entered an era where regulatory changes occur regularly rather than occasionally. Cindy explains why companies should move beyond reacting to each announcement and instead establish a repeatable response process. Rather than focusing solely on individual tariff actions, organizations should develop a cross-functional trade playbook that identifies affected products, evaluates financial exposure, assesses contractual obligations, communicates with suppliers and customers, and enables leadership to make informed decisions quickly. Preparation—not prediction—is becoming the defining characteristic of successful trade compliance programs. Key Takeaways • Trade enforcement continues to accelerate, making strong compliance programs more valuable than ever. • High-quality supply chain data is essential for responding quickly to new trade actions. • Cross-functional planning involving finance, legal, procurement, sales, and compliance should be documented before regulatory changes occur. • Companies that develop repeatable trade response playbooks will be better positioned to navigate future tariffs and enforcement actions.

Claim your tariff refund at realtariffs.com   This episode was sponsored by Cardiff  LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ "Nobody talks about the $80 billion the government still owes small businesses."   Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a wake-up call with Trevor Hall, the CPA and Certified Fraud Examiner who's spent two decades untangling the tax code — and now leads the charge helping businesses claim tariff refunds most don't even know they're owed.   Trevor breaks down the three-phase refund process and the 180-day clock most business owners don't realize is ticking. He exposes the six-figure filing mistakes he's personally caught before they cost real companies real money. Plus, he reveals the little-known buyout option that pays out 70–95% of your refund upfront, no strings attached.   The government is sitting on billions it's legally required to hand back — and banking on the fact that most people never find out. This episode pulls back the curtain on exactly how that game works.  

Today's Headlines: Mitch McConnell's office released a photo with his wife and a doctor's note confirming he's still in a rehab facility and won't make it to the Fancy Farm Kentucky annual picnic, because THAT'S what everyone was concerned about. To add to the depraved and morally corrupt Republicans news, Ohio congressman Max Miller, whose ex-wife filed roughly 2,000 pages of court documents alleging he threw boiling water at her, pointed a gun at her head, and broke their two-year-old daughter's collarbone, is being defended by House Speaker Mike Johnson who said "the key word is allegation" — while Pete Buttigieg was separated from his four-year-old twins for 24 hours over a completely fabricated CPS tip from someone police later called "possibly mentally unstable," which Michigan police waited six days to even begin investigating, so the system is working great. The DNC is also in crisis, with chair Ken Martin reportedly throwing his phone at a staffer, the party so deep in debt it's asking vendors to invoice them after November, and paying $75,000 a month in loan interest. On the immigration beat, ICE built a surveillance database monitoring protesters using facial recognition, license plate scanning, and DNA collection, which was documented in a police report obtained by Mother Jones — the same outlet that found at least 59 ICE and CBP agents have been accused of sexual and violent crimes in the past two decades, 50 of them sex crimes many involving children, while a top DHS statistics official resigned citing the administration's "war on immigrants." In other news, Trump asked the Supreme Court to reinstate his mail-in voting executive order that a federal appeals court already blocked for threatening to disenfranchise eligible voters. Trump says Iran came back to the table seeking peace talks, Iran says that's not true, and a Ukrainian drone hit an Iranian supply line running to Russia — meaning the Iran and Ukraine wars have officially converged. And finally, France recorded its first ever pyrocumulonimbus cloud — a fire-generated storm system that French firefighters called "an operational impossibility, a natural force beyond our control."  Resources/Articles mentioned: Rolling Stone: MAGA Rep.

DOCKET ALERTS:   The Paramount-Warner Bros. merger is on hold well into next year. The parties stipulated that the merger would not go through pending trial in the antitrust case brought by twelve state AGs, despite massive financial penalties for Paramount if the deal is delayed. Meanwhile, the Writers Guild of America has filed a similar antitrust action, which has also been assigned to Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín.   Trump's newest tariff scheme, based on findings of anticompetitive use of forced labor by our trade competitors, drew multiple legal challenges. Learning Resources v. US, Take 3!    Fired US Attorney for the Western District of Washington, Roger Rogoff, is suing to get his job back.   MAIN SHOW:   In March, Trump put out an executive order instructing DHS to compile a list of voters. The states would then be forced to submit all mail-in ballot recipients to a portal and supply each with an individual bar code. The Post Office was instructed to refuse to deliver ballots to anyone not on the list. That order is now being litigated in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, the DC Circuit, the US District for Massachusetts, the First Circuit and, as of today, the Supreme Court.   James Comey has moved to dismiss the two-count federal indictment against him for posting an instagram photo of seashells that spelled out "8647."

Host: Cindy Allen Published: July 24, 2026 Length: Not provided Presented by: Global Training Center Summary In this episode of Simply Trade: Cindy's Version, Cindy Allen returns after a two-week break to unpack one of the most operationally challenging tariff transitions of 2026. Using Taylor Swift's “Sad, Beautiful, Tragic” as the lens, she explores a trade environment defined by abrupt deadlines, overlapping authorities, and relationships that may be moving beyond their free-trade era. Cindy explains the transition from the temporary Section 122 duty to new Section 301 tariffs tied to how 60 economies address forced-labor imports. She examines the 10% and 12.5% tariff structures, the treatment of most-favored-nation duties for certain countries, general and country-specific exclusions, Section 232 carve-outs, and the importance of proper tariff stacking. The official action became applicable to most covered entries beginning July 24, 2026. The episode also looks ahead to Section 338 tariffs on selected Canadian products, continuing IEEPA refund activity, potential court challenges, and the uncertain future of USMCA. For importers, customs brokers, programmers, and trade teams, Cindy's message is practical: review every tariff number, examine every applicable annex, document the analysis, and give implementation partners some grace. This Week in Trade • The temporary Section 122 tariff ended as the new Section 301 forced-labor tariff regime took effect. • Section 301 treatment now varies by country, with 10% or 12.5% rates and special MFN calculations for certain trading partners. • General, country-specific, use-specific, and Section 232 exemptions make product-level classification and origin reviews essential. • Section 338 tariffs of 50% on selected Canadian products are scheduled to take effect on August 19, 2026. Main Topic / Discussion A Layered Section 301 Implementation Cindy breaks down the new Section 301 duties imposed in connection with foreign forced-labor import prohibitions. The headline rate is only the beginning: importers must determine the correct country treatment, whether the rate is additive or calculated net of MFN duties, and whether the product qualifies for a general or country-specific exemption. Classification, Exemptions, and Tariff Stacking The extensive annexes require careful HTS classification and product review. Exemptions include certain raw materials, products that could cause economy-wide disruption, goods unavailable in sufficient quantities from domestic or alternative sources, and products already covered by Section 232. Cindy also emphasizes the importance of following CBP's reporting sequence so each trade remedy appears on the correct tariff-stacking level. Errors in sequencing or combining duties can create problems during refund, reconciliation, protest, or liquidation activity. Canada and Section 338 New Section 338 tariffs add another layer to the changing U.S.–Canada relationship. Cindy considers whether the measures will remain negotiating leverage or take effect as scheduled—and what they could signal for the future of USMCA. The “Sad, Beautiful, Tragic” Connection Taylor Swift's song becomes a metaphor for trade relationships, predictable implementation, and a free-trade environment that may be slipping away. Cindy closes by acknowledging that international trade has entered a fundamentally different era—one requiring closer review, faster adaptation, and stronger coordination across compliance teams. Key Takeaways • Do not assume every country receives the same Section 301 treatment. Confirm the country of origin, HTS classification, applicable rate, MFN interaction, and corresponding annex. • Review both the general exclusions and every applicable country- or use-specific exclusion before determining duty liability. • Validate tariff stacking and entry-line reporting with your customs broker and software provider to reduce refund, reconciliation, and liquidation problems. • Assess exposure to the upcoming Section 338 tariffs on Canadian products now, rather than waiting until the scheduled August 19 effective date.

From ball chasing to a compliance game plan - get your team in shape to avoid a CBP red card! Listen for more on Two Minutes in Trade. 

Host: Cindy Allen and Pete Mento Published: July 23, 2026 Length: 41:32 Presented by: Global Training Center Summary Trade enforcement is entering a new phase—and importers, customs brokers, executives, and board members may all be in the line of sight. Cindy Allen and Pete Mento unpack the Department of Justice Trade Fraud Task Force's announcement that it surpassed $1 billion in civil and criminal recoveries, penalties, forfeitures, and publicly charged losses in less than one year. They explore what that milestone signals for companies that still treat customs compliance as a back-office responsibility. The conversation moves from CBP Forms 28 and 29 to the government's expanding ability to combine entry, manifest, and supply-chain data with AI-driven analysis. Cindy and Pete debate whether targeting intelligence should be shared with customs brokers and importers, how companies should approach data collaboration, and why “we've always done it this way” is becoming an increasingly dangerous compliance strategy. They also examine the USMCA annual review cycle, possible changes involving regional value content and Chinese-origin inputs, forced-labor enforcement, manufacturing policy, and the consumer behavior shaping global sourcing. Along the way, a Piggly Wiggly shame board, Bob Newhart's apartment, and the toilet-paper aisle become memorable lessons about accountability, consumption, and the true cost of inexpensive goods. This Week in Trade • The DOJ Trade Fraud Task Force surpasses $1 billion in recoveries and charged losses • Cindy's read on the growing significance of CBP Form 29 Notices of Action • AI, anomaly detection, and government supply-chain mapping • The USMCA annual review cycle and potential changes to regional content rules Main Topic / Discussion This episode explores the transition from trade facilitation and informed compliance to a far more aggressive enforcement environment. Enforcement and accountability Cindy and Pete discuss the potential exposure facing importers, customs brokers, executives, CEOs, and board members. Compliance decisions that were once treated as operational details may now create civil, criminal, financial, and reputational consequences. Data, AI, and early warning The hosts examine how CBP can use entry, manifest, supplier, and historical data to identify anomalies. They debate whether the government should share more targeting intelligence so customs brokers and importers can identify problems before an entry is filed. USMCA, sourcing, and consumers The discussion expands to the USMCA annual review process, possible Chinese-content restrictions, regional value content calculations, forced-labor enforcement, domestic manufacturing, and whether American consumers are prepared to accept higher prices or fewer choices in exchange for more ethical and regionalized supply chains. Key Takeaways • Trade compliance is no longer solely the responsibility of the customs or logistics department; executives and board members need visibility into material customs risks and compliance decisions. • CBP Forms 28 and 29 should be treated as warning signals that may justify a broader review of products, suppliers, valuation, classification, origin, and previous entries. • Importers and brokers should use data proactively to identify anomalies, understand enforcement patterns, map deeper-tier suppliers, and address risk before filing. • The USMCA review process, forced-labor enforcement, and possible changes to regional content requirements could reshape sourcing and manufacturing decisions throughout North America.

Summary Gloria Park always wanted to be a storyteller. She just didn't expect to find that career in litigation. In this episode, the Susman Godfrey partner talks with Kathryn Rubino about growing up in a first-generation immigrant family, choosing law school because it let her "tell stories for a living," and the mantra, why not me, that carried her through six tough years as an associate to partnership. They cover what actually separates strong litigators (hint: it's not the closing argument), why Park chose a litigation-only boutique that hires exclusively from federal clerkships, and how she balances high-stakes cases with church, choir, and a new kickboxing habit. Park also shares her most memorable war story: taking her first deposition eight weeks into practice, alone, against a firm's global head of litigation. Key Takeaways Litigation is storytelling within strict limits: the facts don't move, but how you frame them does. A "why not me" mindset can replace the imposter syndrome that comes with being the first in your family in Big Law. Attention to detail, not courtroom theatrics, is what actually separates strong litigators. Susman Godfrey hires only federal law clerks, which gives its litigators a shared foundation and an edge in the courtroom. Pro bono work outside your paying caseload can sharpen your skills as a litigator, not just your firm's PR Links and Resources [Above the Law](https://abovethelaw.com/) [The Jabot Podcast](https://abovethelaw.com/tag/the-jabot-podcast/) Keywords Big Law partnership, litigation career, Susman Godfrey, federal clerkship, first-generation lawyer, women in law, litigation boutique, associate to partner, legal storytelling, deposition tips, pro bono litigation, work-life balance lawyer, Above the Law, The Jabot Podcast, career advice for lawyers, patent litigation, jury trial strategy, law school advice, big law culture, legal career path Episode Highlights [00:00:35 - 00:01:15] Gloria explains why storytelling, not the law itself, drew her to law school.

Host: Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles Guest(s): Mollie Sitkowski Published: July 22, 2026 Length: 20:54 Presented by: Global Training Center Summary A rarely used provision of the Tariff Act of 1930 is suddenly at the center of North American trade. In this timely episode, Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles welcome customs and international trade attorney Mollie Sitkowski to unpack the administration's three Section 338 proclamations targeting specified Canadian goods. The measures announce additional 50% duties beginning August 19, 2026, across tariff lines connected to disputes involving alcoholic beverages, dairy, and motor vehicles. Mollie explains why the product coverage is broader, and more complicated, than the three headline sectors suggest, how the new duties interact with Section 232 tariffs, and why USMCA qualification does not exempt covered imports. The conversation also explores whether Congress or the courts could intervene, the possibility that the tariffs are intended to bring Canada back to the negotiating table, and the implications for deeply integrated automotive supply chains. Most importantly, the episode gives importers a practical response plan: review HTS classifications, recheck Canadian origin under 19 CFR Part 102, monitor CBP implementation guidance, model a 50% worst-case scenario, and coordinate immediately across compliance, sourcing, finance, legal, and government affairs. Whether the duties take effect as announced or change through negotiation, this is the preparation window companies cannot afford to waste. Main Topic / Discussion This episode examines the newly announced Section 338 tariffs on specified Canadian imports and what companies should do before the August 19 effective date. Mollie breaks down the legal authority, covered product categories, USMCA and Section 232 treatment, potential challenges, negotiation dynamics, and the immediate classification, origin, forecasting, and supply-chain work importers should begin. Key Takeaways • The additional 50% duty applies to specified HTS provisions, not automatically to every Canadian-origin product. • USMCA qualification does not exempt covered goods, while articles already subject to Section 232 duties are excluded from the new Section 338 duties. • Importers should validate tariff classifications and country-of-origin determinations, including the application of 19 CFR Part 102, and closely monitor CBP CSMS guidance. • Compliance, finance, sourcing, legal, customs brokers, and government affairs teams should jointly model the 50% worst-case impact and identify affected shipments, suppliers, contracts, and customers now.

Host: Lalo Solorzano and Ashley Arnold Published: July 21, 2026 Length: Approximately 12 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary Accurate product classification is the foundation of a strong import compliance program—and one incorrect classification can create problems far beyond the duty rate. In week three of this tips series, Lalo Solorzano and guest host Ashley Arnold explore the practical steps importers can take to build a more accurate, consistent, and defensible classification process. Drawing on her experience classifying products ranging from apparel to machine components, Ashley explains why importers should never rely solely on a supplier's suggested tariff number. Suppliers may understand their products, but the importer remains responsible for determining the correct U.S. classification based on complete product specifications, materials, construction, and intended use. The conversation also covers the value of CBP rulings, written classification rationales, product catalog management, version tracking, and regular audits. Lalo and Ashley discuss why similar-looking products may require different classifications, how small design or material changes can affect an HTS number, and where technology can support—but not replace—professional judgment. The central takeaway is simple: every classification decision should tell a clear story that can still be understood and defended months or years later. Main Topic / Discussion Lalo and Ashley discuss how importers can create a reliable classification program by collecting complete product information, researching relevant rulings, documenting the reasoning behind each decision, and reviewing classifications whenever a product changes. They also explain why classification affects more than ordinary customs duties. An incorrect HTS number can influence trade-remedy tariffs, free trade agreement analysis, entry audits, and an importer's overall compliance exposure. Technology can help organize large product catalogs and maintain classification histories, but importers must still apply informed judgment and maintain supporting documentation. Key Takeaways • Importers are responsible for the accuracy of their U.S. classifications and should not automatically accept tariff numbers supplied by overseas manufacturers. • Collect complete product details—including specifications, bills of materials, construction, composition, and intended use—before assigning an HTS number. • Use relevant CBP rulings and other classification research to support decisions, while recognizing that similar products may not be identical enough to receive the same classification. • Document the rationale, supporting sources, review history, and product changes so every classification can be clearly explained during a future audit.

The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariffs were additional duties imposed by the Trump administration starting in early 2025, primarily using IEEPA's emergency powers to address issues like fentanyl trafficking, immigration, and trade deficits. These included "fentanyl" or "trafficking" tariffs on imports from countries such as China, Canada, and Mexico, as well as broader "reciprocal" or "baseline" tariffs (often 10% or higher) applied to goods from many trading partners, and some targeted measures on Brazil and India. Imposed on top of standard duties, they affected millions of entries and raised costs across supply chains. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump that IEEPA did not authorize the president to impose such tariffs, invalidating them and halting new collections as of late February 2026. Approximately $166 billion in IEEPA duties were collected from over 330,000 importers across more than 53 million entries. As of mid-2026, CBP has processed significant refunds through its Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) system in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) portal, with tens of billions paid out (e.g., around $20–24 billion by late May/early June, accelerating to higher amounts like $49 billion in June in some reports, and over $70 billion authorized/paid in updates by July). Refunds include interest and are issued electronically via ACH, but the process is phased and ongoing; not all claims have been fully disbursed yet, and litigation continues over scope. To claim refunds, only the importer of record (or authorized customs broker) who paid the duties can apply, typically via the CAPE claim portal in the ACE Secure Data Portal (ace.cbp.dhs.gov). Prepare by ensuring your importer record and ACH banking details are updated, identifying eligible entries (IEEPA-specific HTS codes on unliquidated or recently liquidated entries), and submitting CAPE Declarations (CSV files listing entries). Phase 1 (launched April 20, 2026) covers many unliquidated cases; later phases expand to reconciliation and more liquidated entries. For older liquidated entries, file protests within 180 days or pursue Court of International Trade action. Consult a customs broker, attorney, or the CBP website for guidance, as eligibility is limited to IEEPA duties (not Section 232, 301, etc.). The U.S.-Iran conflict, which escalated in 2025–2026 involving direct strikes, Israeli actions, and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, saw a temporary de-escalation via a June 2026 Memorandum of Understanding between President Trump and Iranian leadership aimed at ceasing hostilities, reopening the strait, and starting nuclear talks. However, as of mid-July 2026, the truce has largely collapsed amid renewed tit-for-tat strikes: Iran has attacked shipping and regional targets, while the U.S. (via CENTCOM) has conducted multiple waves of strikes on Iranian military sites, air defenses, missiles, and infrastructure. Blockades, drone/missile exchanges, and diplomatic friction persist, with Trump signaling potential for swift further action but also openness to talks. The situation remains volatile, with risks to global energy flows and regional stability, though full-scale resumption of earlier peak fighting has been avoided so far.This program is brought to you by DAT Freight & Analytics.

Hawk walks through the legal reasoning. A presidential pardon reaches only federal offenses, so a future pardon would leave state prosecutions untouched. He points to how murder is charged at the state level, citing the Tyler Robinson case and the prosecution of the man accused of killing Minnesota's House Speaker, and notes that murder carries no statute of limitations. Looking ahead, Hawk argues that if Democrats take the House this fall, oversight committees will spend two years documenting the conduct of federal immigration agents and could hand that evidence to state attorneys general and county district attorneys. His message to agents is a warning about long-term legal exposure and a caution against assuming anyone in power will protect them.

OA1269 - It's official: Donald Trump has nominated Acting Attorney General “Two Taint” Todd Blanche to run the Department of Justice for real. We review Blanche's three-year career as Trump's personal defense attorney before considering the questions the Senate Judiciary Committee should be asking to determine just who Blanche has been really working for in his time at DOJ so far. Then: the U.S. is hosting the world's biggest international sports event at a time when our immigration system has never been less hospitable, and even before the first World Cup kickoff Trump's CBP has been giving red cards to players, coaches, support staff, and fans who had  already been cleared by the refs at U.S. consulates abroad. Matt explains the immigration law logistics of international tournaments, and how this administration's harsh immigration policies are actively working against the system's efforts to make things easier for World Cup visitors.

1. Breakdown of Senate Disruption Over Reconciliation Why a planned Senate vote (a “vote-a-rama” tied to reconciliation) collapsed unexpectedly. Key points: Reconciliation is described as a process used to bypass the Senate filibuster and pass major legislation (in this case, funding border security and agencies like ICE and CBP). The vote was canceled due to division among Republican senators, not just opposition from Democrats. Several GOP senators are described as politically frustrated or weakened due to: Losing primaries or endorsements Conflict with former President Trump These internal tensions created a fragile majority, making it difficult to pass legislation. 2. Controversy Over the DOJ “Judgment Fund” A newly announced $1.776 billion Department of Justice fund intended to compensate individuals allegedly harmed by government “weaponization.” Concerns raised: Republican senators reacted with anger and suspicion during a closed-door meeting with the acting Attorney General. Some believed the fund looked like “self-dealing,” particularly because it stemmed from litigation involving Donald Trump. There were fears that: Taxpayer money could go to controversial recipients Political optics would damage Republicans Senators across the party were reportedly yelling and openly hostile, suggesting unusually intense internal conflict. Impact: Democrats planned to introduce amendments targeting the fund. Enough Republicans were prepared to side with Democrats that the bill would likely fail. Leadership postponed the vote, indicating a temporary legislative breakdown. 3. Raul Castro Indictment Discussion Castro is accused in connection with the 1996 shootdown of civilian aircraft operated by “Brothers to the Rescue.” Charges allegedly include: Conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals Murder counts Destruction of aircraft A major moment of justice A stark contrast with past U.S. policy under President Obama (who pursued diplomatic normalization with Cuba) Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
