The Bay Area started bracing for federal troops Wednesday night after the San Francisco Chronicle first reported that nearly 100 federal agents, including from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, would be coming to the U.S. Coast Guard Island in Alameda for a major immigration enforcement operation in the region. Then on Thursday morning, Mayor Daniel Lurie announced that President Donald Trump had called off the “surge” in San Francisco.  Links: Federal Agents Injure Activists at Coast Guard Base During Immigration Crackdown Lurie: Trump Is ‘Calling Off' Plans to Send Federal Troops to San Francisco Learn more about your ad choices.

//The Wire//2300Z October 23, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: UNREST CONTINUES IN IRELAND AS CENSORSHIP CRACKDOWN INTENSIFIES. ILLEGAL MIGRANT FROM INDIA CAUSES FATAL CRASH IN CALIFORNIA. MIGRANT WOES CONTINUE THROUGHOUT EUROPE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The war continues as before. Following Israeli strikes in Lebanon a few days ago, more significant airstrikes were reported in southern Lebanon overnight. Yesterday evening the Israeli Knesset voted to annex the West Bank, a move which has drawn slight criticism from the United States due to the war continuing to widen after the ceasefire was broken last week. SECSTATE Marco Rubio condemned this vote and VP Vance stated that Israel will not be allowed to annex the West Bank.Italy: A man was arrested on Tuesday after attempting to kidnap a child from a stroller near the train station in Bologna. Local authorities state that the man, who is an illegal immigrant from Gambia, approached a family on the sidewalk and attempted to grab their newborn child from their stroller. After local citizens fought back against him, he fled the scene before being arrested later in an adjacent park. The suspect has not been identified due to allegedly being a juvenile, but locals did state that he was an asylum seeker living at the local migrant housing complex near the attack site.-HomeFront-California: The driver of a semi truck who caused a fatal pileup on I-10 yesterday has been arrested. Jashanpreet Singh, an illegal immigrant from India, was arrested on multiple counts after the crash, including DUI. 3x people were killed during the crash, and 4x others wounded.Analyst Comment: Singh was illegally in the United States after walking over the southern border in 2022. After being initially detained, he was released into society by Customs and Border Patrol due to the catch-and-release open-border policy at the time.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Ireland, the situation remains as tense as expected. One of the major issues with discerning the truth regarding events on the ground is the now-infamous Online Safety Act, which has been adopted by the European Union as the Digital Services Act (DSA) This is more or less the EU copying Starmer's homework and bringing the Online Safety Act to most of Europe. The DSA and the local regulations put into effect by the Irish government (most notably the chairman of the media commission Jeremy Godfrey) have resulted in a lot of the footage of protest activity being banned from being seen from Irish IP addresses. Users on X for example, have noted that their content is banned from view in Ireland, even content that is benign in nature but related to protest activity. This means that either the Irish government and/or the European Commission itself has ordered X to remove certain content by flagging it as "adult content" and thus subject to the Digital Services Act.In other words, exactly what everyone thought would happen, has happened. And not only happened once, but has been industrialized. Content which makes government agencies look bad, or otherwise highlights the crimes of violent migrants gets flagged as "adult content" and therefore is subject to censorship via the Online Safety Act and requires a photo ID (or a digital ID) to see. Right now, there are probably a lot of people in Ireland that have no understanding of the scale of protests and demonstrations (or even what the issue is all about) due to this censorship. This has been made worse by other larger issues that have actually made it into the mainstream press.Yesterday, the family of Josef Puska was sentenced for their various roles in the murder of Ashling Murphy. These sentences have inflamed tensions once more due to the nature of the crime itself, and the systemic coverup of the incident. While walking on a hiking path back in 20

Host: Cindy Allen Published: October 24, 2025 Length: ~13 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center I Did Something Bad: When Customs Comes Calling This week, Cindy Allen — the Taylor Swift of Trade — draws inspiration from I Did Something Bad to explore one of the biggest trade compliance challenges happening right now: CBP's surge in broad and complex Requests for Information (CF-28s and CF-29s). Cindy breaks down what these new inquiries mean for importers, especially those dealing with Section 232 duties, component-level valuation, and IEEPA-related exemptions. She also discusses the latest updates on the U.S.–China trade relationship, new tariffs on vehicles and buses, the continuing government shutdown, and the upcoming IEEPA Supreme Court hearing. If you've received a CF-28 that looks more like a full audit than a question, this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Status of the government shutdown and potential trade impacts New Section 232 duties: • 25% on medium and heavy-duty vehicles and parts • 10% on buses (effective November 1) Details on the new manufacturer duty offset for U.S.-assembled vehicles containing 15% or more U.S. content Ongoing U.S.–China trade tensions and potential 100% tariffs on Chinese-origin goods Updates on U.S.–India negotiations and high pharmaceutical tariffs Expanded coverage of component-level aluminum and steel duties under Section 232 IEEPA Supreme Court hearing scheduled for November 5, and why it matters Why importers are seeing an increase in CF-28 and CF-29 requests — and how to prepare Key Takeaways: The government shutdown has yet to cause major disruption, but risk increases with each passing week. Section 232 duties are expanding to new products and components, creating valuation and traceability challenges. Importers should be ready for CBP to ask for detailed component-level valuation and manufacturing data. “Reasonable care” remains the guiding principle when exact valuation data is unavailable — document everything. Proactive recordkeeping and supplier collaboration are critical to avoiding costly compliance issues.

Brazilian Justice Scandal: US Border Documents Altered to Persecute Bolsonaro Allies Mary Anastasia O'Grady, Wall Street Journal, with John Batchelor O'Grady discussed a complicated case involving Brazilian Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who was sanctioned by the Trump administration. The discussion focused on the alleged misuse and alteration of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) documents by Moraes/Brazil to jail a member of former President Bolsonaro's cabinet. The goal was to pressure testimony useful for prosecuting Bolsonaro for a fabricated coup plot. The altered document contained bad information, including a misspelled name (Filipe vs. Felipe) and a canceled passport number. The CBP has since acknowledged that the document was erroneous and is investigating the reason, source, and timing of the alteration.

//The Wire//2300Z October 20, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: THIEVES MAKE OFF WITH PRICELESS CROWN JEWELS FOLLOWING HEIST AT THE LOUVRE. NO KINGS PROTESTS DEMONSTRATE HIGH-LEVEL ORGANIZATION. CEASEFIRE BROKEN IN MIDDLE EAST.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Global: This morning a large-scale outage of Amazon Web Services (AWS) was reported, which caused outages of millions of services and websites. The cause of the outage was not malign action, but rather improper management of network load balancing.Analyst Comment: A fix has been implemented, but it may take some time to restore services.France: Over the weekend a heist was reported at the Louvre as thieves broke in to the museum during broad daylight. The thieves posed as construction workers and used a truck mounted ladder in order to gain entry to a balcony housing the Gallery of Apollo. From there, they used cutting tools to breach a window which led to the exhibits displaying the historic crown jewels of France. The thieves broke into the glass cases housing several exhibits, making off with many major priceless pieces and artifacts.Analyst Comment: Despite their success, this heist was more or less an organized smash and grab which not even a big wooden door can protect from, it seems. In their haste to egress from their looting spree, the thieves left a wealth of evidence behind as the crown of Empress Eugénie was discovered cast into the gutter on the street after the raid.Middle East: The ceasefire between Hamas and Israel was breached as Israeli forces conducted widespread bombings throughout Gaza. Israeli forces claim that Hamas violated the ceasefire first, though President Trump stated that the violation (which appears at the moment to be a small arms attack which killed two IDF soldiers), did not originate from Hamas leadership. Nevertheless the United States endorsed the targeting efforts, which PM Netanyahu stated took the form of 153 tons of bombs being dropped throughout Gaza City.Analyst Comment: Most international actors are pretending that the ceasefire is still in place. Turning the ceasefire on and off like a spigot is likely to continue; whenever either side wants to conduct targeting the ceasefire will be "off" for the precise amount of time required to conduct the strikes, then the ceasefire will be "on" again once complete, while everyone pretends like nothing happened.-HomeFront-North Carolina: Two arson attacks on Churches were reported over the weekend. The Calvary's Cross Baptist Church and Tabernacle Baptist Church in Cleveland County were intentionally set on fire by arsonists. Local citizens who spotted the fires immediately were able to extinguish the fires quickly, saving both churches. The arsonists have not been apprehended and anyone with information is urged to call the Cleveland County Sheriff with any information that might be helpful in apprehending those responsible.Florida - Yesterday afternoon the US Secret Service discovered a hunting stand in a tree in a wooded area next to a US Army Reserve center directly adjacent to Palm Beach International Airport. The FBI is now investigating as the hunting stand had clear line of sight to the Customs and Border Patrol parking aprons, which are also frequently used by Air Force One to transport President Trump from Washington to Mar a Lago.Analyst Comment: For those who may think this was "just a hunting stand", there aren't a lot of whitetail on the parking aprons used by Customs and Border Patrol at Palm Beach International Airport. This stand was set up with a direct line of sight to this facility, in an extremely small wooded area right in the heart of a heavy urban area mere feet from a military installation. Right now there's not much to go on other than the discovery of the stand. However, it would be very foolish to just chalk this up to the

FIRST HOUR 9-915 US-Russia Summit in Budapest Amid Ukraine Escalation Fears. Anatol Lieven discusses how US President Trump and Russian President Putin agreed to meet in Budapest to discuss ending the Ukraine conflict following a productive call. The meeting, hosted in Viktor Orbán's Hungary, aims to reduce extreme tensions and avoid direct clashes between Russia and NATO. Discussion points include potential territorial compromise in Donbas and concerns over deploying Tomahawk missiles, which Russia views as a major escalation. 915-930 US-Russia Summit in Budapest Amid Ukraine Escalation Fears.

Discussion points include potential territorial compromise in Donbas and concerns over deploying Tomahawk missiles, which Russia views as a major escalation. 930-945 China's Tech Espionage and the Difficulty of Reverse Engineering Advanced Chip Tools. Chris Riegel discusses how TSMC and ASML technology face constant threats from Chinese industrial espionage. ASML's chipmaking tools are highly complex, making reverse engineering nearly impossible. Europe is waking up to the risks; recently, the Dutch government seized China-owned chipmaker Nexperia. China is estimated to be two to three years behind US high-end chip technology and requires access to advanced ASML tools to catch up. 945-1000 Hostage Situation and Political Realities in Gaza Ceasefire. Cliff May explains how the Gaza ceasefire focuses on the return of hostages, with 19 (including two Americans) still unaccounted for. Hamas is suspected of withholding hostages to retain bargaining power and resist relinquishing political control in phase two of the peace plan. Rhetoric about regional forces disarming Hamas is dismissed. May notes that in the Middle East, there are only permanent battles, viewing the current truce as a hudna, allowing jihadists to regroup and rearm. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 US Escalates Pressure on Maduro Following Machado's Nobel Prize. Evan Ellis discusses how, following the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to opposition leader María Corina Machado, the US escalated pressure on Venezuela.

The goal is triggering a tipping point where Maduro's inner circle calculates that leaving is preferable to facing US action.

Mary Anastasia O'Grady explains how Venezuela's illegitimate leader, Maduro, faces escalating pressure from the US, including a Navy flotilla, B-52 flights, and authorized CIA operations. The goal is to compel Maduro and his generals, who profit from transnational crime, to flee. The silence from traditional allies like Russia and China suggests they lack political justification to defend Maduro's record. However, Mexico's president offered no comment regarding Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado, reflecting leftist sympathies. 1215-1230 Tariffs Harm Consumers, Reduce Hiring, and Cause Customs Backlogs.

Apple CEO Tim Cook's unexpected appearance at Pop Mart's 10th anniversary showcase in China this week sparked both social media buzz and a stock rally.本周,苹果公司首席执行官蒂姆・库克意外现身泡泡玛特中国十周年庆典活动,这一消息不仅在社交媒体上引发热议,还推动泡泡玛特股价上涨。During his visit on Monday, Cook toured the "The Monsters" exhibition in Shanghai, met Pop Mart founder Wang Ning and artist Kasing Lung, and was gifted a custom Labubu figurine — a version of the brand's best-known character — clutching an iPhone. Videos and photos of Cook's meeting quickly went viral on social media, sending Pop Mart intraday shares up as much as 6 percent to HK$276.8 ($35.6) before paring gains to close at HK$263, with trading volume exceeding HK$4.4 billion.周一,库克在上海参观了“精灵天团”主题展览,会见了泡泡玛特创始人王宁及艺术家龙家升,并获赠一款定制版拉布布手办——拉布布是该品牌最具知名度的形象,这款定制手办手持iPhone。库克此次活动的相关视频与照片迅速在社交媒体上走红,带动泡泡玛特当日股价一度上涨6%,升至276.8港元(约合35.6美元),随后涨幅收窄,最终以263港元收盘,当日成交额超44亿港元。The company has reported record sales and a surge in demand for its collectibles across the globe. On Dewu App, a trendy online shopping platform, the Labubu third-generation series, released in April, has been purchased by 580,000 users, with more than 740,000 others listing it as "wanted". The hidden edition Labubu ID, initially priced at 99 yuan ($13.9), peaked at 4,523 yuan — a 45.7-fold increase — before falling back to around 664 yuan after restocks.据泡泡玛特披露,其全球销售额创下新高,旗下收藏品需求大幅增长。在潮流购物平台得物App上,今年4月推出的拉布布第三代系列产品,已有58万名用户下单购买,另有超74万名用户将其加入“求购”清单。其中,拉布布隐藏款ID手办初始售价为99元(约合13.9美元),价格最高曾飙升至4523元,涨幅达45.7倍;在品牌补货后,该手办价格回落至664元左右。Strong momentum was also seen in sales of its other intellectual properties such as Twinkle Twinkle and Skullpanda. Many figurines were sold out instantly upon release, driving robust resale premiums. Pop Mart's first-half 2025 financial report highlights its continued growth. Revenue from Labubu skyrocketed 6.7 times to 4.81 billion yuan, while Skullpanda brought in about 1.2 billion yuan, more than doubling from a year earlier.除拉布布外,泡泡玛特旗下其他知识产权(IP)产品如星星人、 Skullpanda系列的销量同样势头强劲。多款手办一经发售便迅速售罄,推动二手市场溢价空间显著。泡泡玛特2025年上半年财报显示,公司持续保持增长态势:拉布布相关收入同比激增6.7倍,达48.1亿元;Skullpanda系列收入约12亿元,较去年同期实现翻倍增长。The rise of Pop Mart mirrors a wider wave of Chinese guochao (domestic trend) brands gaining global attention. In the first three quarters, China's exports of festive supplies, dolls and animal-shaped toys exceeded 50 billion yuan, reaching more than 200 economies, said Wang Lingjun, vice-minister of the General Administration of Customs.泡泡玛特的崛起,折射出中国“国潮”品牌受到全球关注的大趋势。中国海关总署副署长王令浚表示,今年前三季度,中国节庆用品、玩偶及动物造型玩具出口额超500亿元,产品远销全球200多个经济体。Travelers visiting China increasingly treat Labubu as must-buy souvenirs, and international fans have begun showcasing their collections online. China Open men's singles finalist Learner Tien from the United States, for instance, gave a public shoutout to friends who gifted him Labubu toys during a recent trip in China.如今,来中国旅游的游客愈发将拉布布视为必买纪念品,全球各地的粉丝也开始在网上展示自己的收藏。例如,美国选手勒纳·钱在近期中国之行中收到朋友赠送的拉布布玩具,这位中国网球公开赛男单决赛选手公开表达了感谢。Labubu has demonstrated strong resilience as an IP, said Tian Lan, analyst at Euromonitor International."Its evolution from picture-book art to plush formats has been a major success, showing a brand that knows how to innovate without losing its core DNA."欧睿国际分析师田兰(音译)指出,拉布布作为一个IP展现出强劲的生命力。“从绘本艺术形象拓展到毛绒玩具,拉布布的这一转型取得巨大成功,这体现出该品牌既懂得创新,又始终坚守核心特质。”Pop Mart's IP strategy has evolved meaningfully in recent years. The company is transitioning from a blind-box seller to a vertically integrated IP incubator, where hits like Labubu and Twinkle Twinkle serve as both growth engines and proof of concept, according to Lan. Twinkle Twinkle, in particular, demonstrates that consistent IP investment can generate sustainable creative and financial returns.田兰表示,近年来泡泡玛特的IP战略实现了富有意义的升级。公司正从盲盒销售商向垂直整合的IP孵化平台转型,拉布布、星星人等热门IP不仅成为企业的增长引擎,也印证了其IP孵化模式的可行性。尤其是星星人系列,充分说明对IP进行持续投入,能够带来可持续的创意成果与经济效益。The company's growing ecosystem — spanning product, animation, retail experience, and licensing — suggests a scalable model, said Lan."The key will be to maintain portfolio balance and cross-IP differentiation, ensuring that each property contributes to a coherent cultural universe rather than competing for short-term attention," Lan added.田兰认为,泡泡玛特不断完善的生态体系——涵盖产品研发、动画制作、零售体验及授权合作等领域——表明其商业模式具备可复制拓展的潜力。“关键在于保持IP组合的平衡与不同IP间的差异化,确保每个IP都能为构建统一的文化生态体系助力,而非单纯为争夺短期关注度而相互竞争。”Speaking on fast-moving consumer taste in designer toys, Lan said it follows identifiable emotional and cultural patterns rather than pure randomness.谈及潮流玩具领域消费者需求的快速变化,田兰表示,这一变化遵循可识别的情感与文化逻辑,并非纯粹随机。"Brands that continuously listen, co-create with fans, and express evolving values can capture long-term loyalty even in short-term trend cycles," Lan said. "What matters is cultural sensitivity and agility, not just predictions. In that sense, the designer toy market remains less about chasing hype and more about building emotional equity over time."“在短期潮流周期中,那些持续倾听消费者声音、与粉丝共同创作、并传递与时俱进价值观的品牌,能够赢得长期的用户忠诚度。重要的是对文化的敏感度与应变能力,而非单纯的趋势预测。从这个角度而言,潮流玩具市场的核心并非追逐热度,而是通过长期积累构建情感价值。”rallyn.回升,上涨/ˈræli/surgen.激增,猛增/sɜːdʒ/resiliencen.适应力,恢复力;/rɪˈzɪliəns/scalableadj.可扩展的,可规模化的/ˈskeɪləbl/

This devotional reminds believers that even in times of political, social, or personal turmoil, God is sovereign, present, and always working for the good of His children. Highlights Daniel’s faithfulness in exile demonstrates God’s ability to protect, elevate, and use His people, even in foreign or difficult circumstances. God’s favor can work through unlikely individuals—including secular leaders—for His purposes. Biblical truth affirms God’s control over earthly powers (Proverbs 21:1).

Host: Cindy Allen Published: October 10, 2025 Length: ~10 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Bigger Than the Whole Sky: Trade Updates and a Tribute to an Industry Legend This week, Cindy Allen — the Taylor Swift of Trade — opens with the song Bigger Than the Whole Sky to deliver both a critical trade update and a heartfelt reflection. Cindy begins by covering breaking developments in U.S.–China trade, including new restrictions on rare earth minerals and lithium batteries, retaliatory tariffs on U.S.-owned ships, and the potential escalation of mutual trade barriers. She also breaks down recent CBP clarifications on Section 232 duties for timber and lumber products, including tariff rates, exemptions, and country-specific limitations for the UK, Japan, and the EU. The episode then takes a more personal turn as Cindy pays tribute to Anne Lister, co-founder of the International Compliance Professionals Association (ICPA), who passed away unexpectedly earlier this week. Through anecdotes, history, and heartfelt memories, Cindy honors Anne's legacy, her contributions to the trade community, and the profound impact she had on those who knew her. What You'll Learn in This Episode: China's three new trade actions against the U.S.: • Restrictions on rare earth mineral exports • Tariffs on U.S.-owned ships • Restrictions on lithium batteries and production equipment U.S. response and potential new tariff increases under Section 232 CBP clarification on lumber and timber tariffs, including duty rates and exemptions How the UK, Japan, and the EU negotiated reduced rates under 232 agreements The legacy of Anne Lister, co-founder of ICPA, and her lasting influence on trade compliance professionals Key Takeaways: China's latest actions signal a deepening trade rift and potential escalation in tariff retaliation. CBP's timber and lumber clarification provides critical insight into product classification and country exemptions. U.S. importers must monitor changes closely as new 232 measures take effect. The global trade community remembers Anne Lister — a visionary who helped shape modern compliance education and connection.

We look at changes which the Government has announced – and the speculation around those it hasn't. Pension inheritance rules will change in 2027. It may seem a long time away, but people are making plans now. We hear from some of those pension planners as they try to clear up any confusion around the changes. We also look at speculation around what might be in the Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Autumn Budget, which she announced this week will take place on November 26.His Majesty's Revenue and Customs tells Money Box it's deploying hundreds of staff to bring down waiting times for people making claims about missing state pension payments. It's already written to 370,000 people, mainly women, who took time off work to care for children and now might be getting less money than they should be because of an error in their National Insurance records. But given that HMRC has already admitted it's been, in its words, "inherently challenging" to try to fix the problem it might come as little surprise the vast majority of people still missing money, haven't been paid what they're owed. Just a few weeks ago thousands of would-be university students found out whether they had achieved the right grades to get into the university of their choice. Now comes the reality check, when many wonder how they will afford to pay for it. Some argue that the level of Government maintenance loans only covers half the true cost of student living. The Higher Education Policy Institute has just conducted a study into maintenance loans in England and reckons they only cover half of the true costs of student life.Presenter: Paul Lewis Reporter: Dan Whitworth Researchers: Amber Mehmood, Jo Krasner, Catherine Lund Editors: Jess Quayle, Craig Henderson

With new Section 232 tariffs on lumber, cabinets, and vanities, plus looming duties on pharmaceuticals and medical devices, Cindy unpacks why navigating layered tariffs and multiple country-of-origin rules has trade professionals feeling the weight of confusion. From the ongoing government shutdown to CBP's enforcement posture and the uncertainty surrounding free trade agreements, this episode highlights both the resilience and the frustration of today's trade community. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How the current government shutdown is affecting CBP operations and other government agencies New Section 232 duties effective October 14 on lumber, kitchen cabinets, and vanities The administration's delayed rollout of 232 duties on pharmaceuticals and medical devices The role of exemptions for companies breaking ground on U.S. manufacturing facilities Why brand-name vs. generic pharmaceuticals will matter for tariff application How Ireland and Switzerland could be most affected by pharmaceutical tariffs The growing complexity of country-of-origin determinations across: • HTS reporting • Free trade agreement qualification • Section 232 applicability • Multi-layered duties on aluminum and steel Why brokers and importers are struggling with multiple overlapping tariff annexes Key Takeaways: CBP trade processing is continuing with minimal disruption despite the shutdown, though delays may occur with other government agency inspections. Importers face new uncertainty as layered tariffs create multiple, conflicting country-of-origin determinations. Pharmaceutical tariffs remain unclear, but exemptions may apply for U.S.-based or expanding manufacturers. Ireland and Switzerland are key pharmaceutical exporters likely to be heavily impacted. Customs brokers must navigate increasingly complex 232 annexes, requiring spreadsheets and case-by-case analysis.

These reforms, introduced as part of the 2026 economic package, aim to reshape tariff codes, increase compliance obligations, and strengthen Mexico's alignment with the United States. Together, Annik and Manuel discuss what these sweeping changes mean for importers, customs brokers, and international businesses navigating U.S.-Mexico trade. From increased penalties to tariff hikes on over 1,300 products, this conversation offers a timely look at what companies should expect as Mexico seeks to tighten compliance and revenue collection. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why Mexico is reforming its customs and tariff laws in 2026. How customs brokers' responsibilities and liabilities will expand. What businesses importing from China should prepare for under the new tariff regime. The potential impact of higher penalties for misclassification and noncompliance. How these reforms tie into the upcoming 2026 USMCA renegotiation. Key Takeaways: Mexico is aligning customs and tariff policies more closely with the U.S. ahead of USMCA renegotiations. Customs brokers will face greater accountability for ensuring accurate declarations. Importers could see penalties of up to 300% of the goods' value for violations. Roughly 1,371 tariff codes will be affected, with duties rising between 10% and 50%. Businesses need to prepare now with compliance programs, technology, and proactive supply chain strategies.
