Podcasts about united states immigration

If you've followed national news over the last few weeks, you've likely heard stories of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, making arrests in hundreds of cities. They've been in Nashville for about a week. And as they've done everywhere, they've made hundreds of traffic stops and even stormed our lower Broadway tourist area. They've even taken young children as the school bus drops them off in the afternoon. It's a scary time for our immigrant population, both those here legally and illegally. Many people question whether these agents are real or just posing as the real thing...

Dozens of people in Northeast Ohio were taken into custody by United States Immigration and Custom Enforcement officers as part of a larger, nationwide push by the Trump administration to crack down on illegal immigration. President Trump made immigration and deportation of those here without legal status a key part of his reelection campaign. His first week in office saw a flurry of executive orders on immigration. The story begins our discussion of the week's news on the “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable.”

Years of Service: 1997-2022Darin began his law enforcement career in 1997 with the Border Patrol. After 4 years of enforcing United States Immigration law, Darin was hired by the United States Postal Inspector Service. Darin began his career as a Postal Inspector in Puerto Rico and was later transferred to Washington DC. While in DC, Darin was assigned to a task force working on anthrax attacks with the investigative name Amerithrax. The case investigated the mailing of anthrax spores to news outlets as well as to Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Lahey which resulted in the killing of five people and infecting 17 others. Darin was later transferred to the Boise, Idaho office where he was responsible for investigating cases throughout the state. Some of these cases involved assault, robbery, homicide, drug trafficking, romance schemes, and mail fraud.

What was Abscam? In this episode we try an answer that question for those of you who may not remember, or be as familiar with, what many will recall was the second biggest political scandal of the 1970's and early 1980's.  It involved six United States Congressman and one United States Senator.  They were :US Senator Harrison A. Williams (D-NJ)US Representative Frank Thompson (D-NJ)US Representative John Jenrette (D-SC)US Representative Raymond Lederer (D-PA)US Representative Michael "Ozzie" Myers (D-PA)US Representative John M. Murphy (D-NY)US Representative Richard Kelly (R-FL)It was basically a criminal sting operation conducted by the FBI using a known conman, Mel Weinberg, to set up various elected officials at several levels of the Government. It is the same scandal used for the basis of the movie " American Hustle". It was not just Congressman but also 23 other elected and governmental officials who were eventually netted into the criminal takedown. It also included one member of the New Jersey State Senate, members of the Philadelphia City Council, the Mayor of Camden, New Jersey, and an inspector for the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service who  were all also convicted. The operation was directed from the FBI's office in Hauppauge, New York, and was under the supervision of Assistant Director Neil J. Welch, who headed the bureau's New York Division, and Thomas P. Puccio, head of the Justice Department's Organized Crime Task Force for the Eastern Division of New York.In all of these cases it stemmed from an investigation into theft, forgery, and stolen art. The FBI enlisted the help of a convicted conman to help them run a sting on criminals but as they made their way up the food chain they found they could nab some high ranking elected officials. All of the elected officials were somehow connected to this investigation. All but one. That one case that was the exception was the case of Representative John Jenrette of the 6th District of South Carolina, OUR CONGRESSMAN. In this episode you will hear from the conman himself, you will listen in as the FBI moves in on the congressmen in question, and you will listen in just as the nation did as all of this unfolded. Ironically, the only story they rarely  talked about in this early stage of the game, will be the story of John Jenrette, and as we will show you there are reasons for that.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which detains hundreds of thousands of people nationwide, typically says fewer than a dozen detainees die in its custody each year. But if the agency releases a person in dire health, they're not in custody when they die — so ICE doesn't need to count that death. Today, L.A. Times immigration reporter Andrea Castillo tells the stories of two people who were abruptly released by ICE just days before their deaths and pulls back the curtain on the system that allows this to happen. Read the full transcript here.

Immigrants need a system in the United States that works not just for the wealthy but for anybody to come in and become a U.S. citizen. These people who are coming into our country should always be screened to make sure they're not on a terrorist watch list or any FBI most wanted list. But how has the United States Immigration policy changed over the years? That question needs to be answered in a political debate. Unfortunately, American government has not signed a immigration reform bill since 1986. Americans are wanting a improved system of allowing immigrants who have come into our country legally to become U.S. citizens. Immigration can definitely change and improve our diversity of our culture. As well as appear that we take in people who have left their homeland country for reasons other than terrorism. The immigration system in the U.S. needs to be changed and reformed before it falls apart. Enjoy this episode! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nrodyunknown/message

Along side Derek Upright, my guest co-host, I welcome Academic Actor, Director, Production Manager and Patron of the Arts Anthony Bonilla. Like Derek and myself, Anthony attended Manhattanville College. He became very active in the performing arts ever since he accepted the role of a sailor in "Anything Goes" at Cushing Academy. Since then, he has acted in, directed and produced many academic productions. These productions including "Guys and Dolls" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley." In this podcast episode, we speak in depth about the poignant rendition of Mary Gallagher's "De Donde?" which Anthony co-starred in as a mistreated United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement prisoner and also as a compliant bailiff. So relevant to our times, we chat at length about this riveting play. Anthony also addresses various other topics including the battle Latino actors face in Hollywood, Hispanics in the music industry, and a multi-cultural Broadway. With a deep appreciation for the performing arts, Anthony can be found viewing a variety of theatrical shows in New York. Anthony Bonilla is a sterling example of a Latino artist who courageously reaches for his dreams without abandoning his roots. He's a wonderful role model and one of the most honorable guests I have ever received on my podcast. I am overwhelmed with gratitude as I celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with my talented college friend! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

By and large, the USA is a very welcoming country. Nearly all of its people are very welcoming and encouraging, spare the oddball that can mouth some unsavory comments either directly to your face or indirectly. The policies, however, haven't been very clear cut and are still very fluid causing a lot of uncertainty to people waiting in line legally.Immigration attorneys have to be on their feet to keep themselves abreast of current policies. This is not easy. We spoke with Tahmina Watson Esq., of Watson Immigration Law, to know more. Watson Immigration Law is a Seattle-based law firm with immigration attorneys practicing exclusively in the area of United States Immigration and Naturalization law.Tahmina has authored many books, the latest is available via this link:https://www.amazon.com/Legal-Heroes-Trump-Era-Inspired-ebook/dp/B08KC7MBFV/ref=sr_1_1?crid=351TCJFD24LA2&dchild=1&keywords=tahmina+watson&qid=1601933998&s=books&sprefix=tahmina%2Caps%2C270&sr=1-1Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/witcast?fan_landing=true)

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing John Demjanjuk. In 1975, the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service received a list of individuals living in the United States that were suspected of having supported Germany during the Second World War. One particular name on this list was that of John Demjanjuk, a fifty-five year old naturalized US citizen living in the suburbs of Seven Hills, Ohio with his wife and kids. He would be identified by Holocaust survivors in Israel that alleged that he was the notorious “Ivan the Terrible” that worked at the Treblinka extermination camp where hundreds of thousands of Jews were killed. Demjanjuk would deny these accusations and would fight it in court for the remainder of his life. When he died in 2012, a final judgment on his appeal still hadn’t been issued, meaning that - to this day - Demjanjuk is technically, on paper, innocent… So is this a case of one of the most horrific Nazis of all time being convicted for his crimes? Or is it an innocent man and a victim of mistaken identity? A special thank you to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode!

Tonight's special guest is Bettina Hauser from Miami, Florida, a survivor of sex trafficking. She came to the United States from Hungary at the age of 21 as a result of a human trafficking ring based in Florida. She was a part of the organization for a little over three years, but what’s impressive is how she grew through the pain. Bettina shares, “Shortly after I ran away, I met a man who became my first serious relationship, and he gave me the possibility to start chasing money and start repairing things around me. He helped me get an immigration attorney as well as supporting me financially, saving me from running back. United States Immigration also required me to go therapy, and it was much needed, in order to receive residency.” Bettina’s first goal was to go back to college and finish her degree. Bettina not only found a way to fully finance her education, but she also maintained a 4.0 GPA in almost all semesters. She continues, “The chain of these events made me realize that I am worth a lot more than physically being used by other man. I also realized that I have goals, power, and a very strong motive to succeed. I know where I came from and I’m thankful for God every day of my life that he saved me. I know for a fact, that the life is incredible ahead of me and I wish the other girls surviving sex trafficking would see it in the same way.” Now Bettina is dedicated to helping other female survivors to overcome the consequences of human trafficking and, through her educational program, help them build a successful future while they become a healthy part of the society again.

Check your Senators' Votes on H.R. 1314 Check your Representative's Vote on H.R. 2146 H.R. 1295: Trade Preferences Extension Act Title I: Extension of African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) Background Original African Growth and Opportunity Act was signed into law by President Clinton in 2000. Allows certain products from some African countries to be imported tax-free. Oil accounted for 68% of these imports in 2014; "despite remaining the top U.S. import under AGOA, U.S. oil imports from the region have fallen by 80% or nearly $40 billion since 2011." Clothes and vehicles from South Africa are the other main products imported tax-free under this law The law was going to expire on September 30, 2015. The assistance is intended to "encourage governments to Liberalize trade policy Harmonize laws and regulations with WTO membership commitments Engage in financial and fiscal restructuring Promote greater agribusiness linkages. Reauthorization Highlights Extends the AGOA until September 30, 2025 Eliminates the President's ability to terminate an African country's eligibility for the program without notifying Congress and the country 60 days before. Creates an annual public comment period regarding whether the African countries are meeting their eligibility requirements. Increases the number of people employed full time to make sure African food exports meet U.S. food safety standards from 20 to 30. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that extending this program will cost us $2.8 billion in lost tax revenue by 2025 Title II: Extension of Generalized System of Preferences Background A bigger program for allowing products to be imported tax-free into the United States, which was first created in 1974. President Obama terminated Russia's status as a Generalized System of Preferences country in October 2014, after the invasion of Crimea. Extension Highlights Extends the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program until December, 2017. Backdates the effective date to July 31, 2013, when the program expired. The Congressional Budget Office estimates this extension will cost us over $2.5 billion in lost tax revenue. Limits the types of cotton that are eligible for tax-free import Makes some luggage and travel products eligible for tax-free import Title III: Extension of preferential duty treatment program for Haiti Extends tax-free import status for products from Haiti until December 19, 2025. The Congressional Budget Office estimates this will cost us $520 million in lost tax revenue Title IV: Extension of trade adjustment assistance Extends trade adjustment assistance until June 30, 2021 Specifically mentions farmers. Brings back a tax credit for health insurance for workers who lose their jobs due to trade agreements or due to failed pension plans until the end of 2019, which are higher than the subsidies we get for health insurance on the ObamaCare exchange websites. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that this will cost us $2.8 billion, with the most money needed from 2017 to 2021. Title VI: Tariff classification of recreational performance outerwear Contains a modified version of the Affordable Footwear Act, which reduces tariffs on some athletic footwear. Contains part of the OUTDOORS Act, which was introduced by Senators Maria Cantwell of Washington and Senator Kelly Ayote of New Hampshire, which lowers or eliminates tariffs that average 14% for "recreational performance outerwear" Washington is home to headquarters of REI, Amazon, Nordstrom, Brooks Sports, and Eddie Bauer. New Hampshire is home to the headquarters of Timberland The American Apparel and Footwear Association, the Outdoor Industry Association, Eastern Mountain Sports, Kamik Boots, NEMO Equipment, and New Balance, and the Washington Council on International Trade have all voiced support for this language, with the Washington Council on International Trade saying it's because it "would save consumers money while improving profits for our retailers and apparel companies that do their manufacturing overseas". The Outdoor Industry Association spent a record $360,000 lobbying Congress on the US OUTDOOR ACT and the Affordable Footwear Act in 2014. Title VI: Offsets Extends customs charges for some imports from September 30, 2024 to July 7, 2025 and then increases the fees for two and a half months in the Summer 2025, after the expiration. According to the Congressional Budget Office, this will cause the revenue from those fees to spike from a little under a billion in 2024, to $4.6 billion in 2025. This is the biggest single source of money that will pay for this law. Increases taxes on corporations that make more than $1 billion in 2019 by 8% for the months of July, August, or September of 2020. The corporation's next payment will then be reduced by the same amount. On the Congressional Budget Office estimate, this makes it seem as though there is much more revenue for the 2015-2020 period than there actually is. If the numbers weren't cooked like this, the report would show an additional $5.7 billion budget deficit from 2015-2020. Beginning in 2016, the law forbids college education tax credits from students who don't receive an accounting "statement" from their school. CBO estimates this will save almost half a billion dollars. Increases the fines for failing to file tax returns on time or including incorrect information on a return, for example from $100 to $250 and raises the caps on these kinds of fees, effective in fiscal year 2016. CBO estimates this will bring in an additional $136 million by 2025. Disqualifies people who choose to exclude foreign earned income from their tax returns from claiming the child tax credit, effective this year. CBO estimates this will save $293 million by 2025. Somehow changes the way Medicare pays for dialysis services in a way that will cut direct spending by $250 million. Passed the Senate 97-1 and the House of Representatives 286-138 Sponsored by Rep.

Creates a "cyber crimes center" within the Customs and Immigration section of the Department of Homeland Security to "provide investigative assistance, training, and equipment to support United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement's domestic and international investigations of cyber-related crimes." The cyber crimes center will have a "Child Exploitation Investigations Unit" in it. The cyber crimes center will have a "Computer Forensics Unit" which will train and support Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees and help "Federal, State, local, tribal, military, and foreign law enforcement agency personnel engaged in the investigation of crimes" The cyber crimes center will have a "Cyber Crimes Unit" , which will "enhance" Immigration and Customs ability to "combat criminal enterprises operating on or through the Internet, with specific focus in the areas of cyber economic crime, digital theft of intellectual property, illicit e-e-commerce (including hidden marketplaces), Internet- facilitated proliferation of arms and strategic technology, and cyber enable smuggling and money laundering" and will also help "Federal, State, local, tribal, military, and foreign law enforcement agency personnel engaged in the investigation of crimes" The cyber crimes center will be allowed to coordinate with the Defense Department to hire war veterans. Temporarily increases by 10% the amount of money a State can get from Federal grants if the State has a law that allows the mother of a child to eliminate the parental rights of her rapist and authorizes $5 million for the increases (only 10 states currently have such laws). Adds people convicted in the military justice system to the National Sex Offender Registry. Creates a hotline for sex trafficking victims to speak with service providers starting in 2017. Makes sex trafficking victims automatically eligible for the jobs corps.

Contains a program that transfers taxpayer funded research to manufacturers in the U.S. - including the legal rights to the new inventions - as long as the company pays for 50%+ of the upgrades to their systems. Continues to invest tax money in research for coal, oil, and natural gas It would extend the life of current nuclear power plants instead of design new ones Creates a "nuclear energy enabling technologies program" which, in part, develops "small modular reactors". According to the Department of Energy, small modular reactors are factory-made mini-nuclear power plants that can be shipped to places that don't have the infrastructure or money for large nuclear power plants. The idea is to create these for "U.S. companies" to sell around the world. So far, none of these have been designed, licensed, or constructed and DOE wants them deployed within the next decade.
