Wrong. In the US, children are not incarcerated for deed committed by the parents.

Not exactly. There is a difference between the number of people and the number of encounters. 1.6 million encounters does not equate to 1.6 million people. For the past 35 years, the number of people crossing has been around 1 million a year. That said, regardless of how you cut it, it is a huge number of people. Mexico agrees to allow only migrants from 4 countries to be returned to Mexico. All other nationalities have to go through normal deportation. Family groups are a particularly tricky issue. The Mexican state of Tamaulipas (which borders south Texas), would not accept the expulsions under Title 42 of Mexican, Guatemalan, Honduran, or Salvadoran parents with children under the age of 7. Mexican immigration officials in Chihuahua (bordering El Paso) permitted CBP to expel families under Title 42, regardless of the age of their children. The demographics at the border has changed. Years ago, it was single, adult Mexican males crossing. Deporting them was easier and quicker with most being willing to self-deport in exchange for not going to jail. Now we have families for Central and South America and deporting them is not easy. There are a number of sources of good information on the situation, here's one: https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/rising-border-encounters-in-2021

Republican governors are in a cynical competition to outdo each other and send migrants from the US border by bus to New York, Washington, DC, Chicago and, now, by plane to Martha’s Vineyard. Two unannounced planes carrying an estimated 50 migrants landed in the wealthy seaside enclave of Massachusetts on Wednesday night, surprising locals. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis claimed credit for the stunt, which took the migrants from Texas, not Florida, and left them without planning on the street. https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/15/politics/migrant-buses-desantis-abbott-what-matters/index.html

A truck displaying pro-Trump flags is driven past Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, the home of former President Donald Trump, on Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2022. Saul Martinez/The New York Times/Redux CNN — A Brooklyn-based federal judge was selected on Thursday to serve as an independent arbiter to review the materials seized in the FBI’s search of former President Donald Trump’s Florida home. The special master will be Senior Judge Raymond Dearie, who was put forward as a possible candidate for the special master role by Trump, who had sued in court to obtain the review. The Justice Department also endorsed Dearie’s appointment. US District Judge Aileen Cannon also rejected the Justice Department’s bid to revive its criminal investigation into classified documents seized at Mar-a-Lago last month. https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/15/politics/mar-a-lago-search-special-master/index.html

In 2021, there were 130,863 asylum applications.

Hong Kong CNN — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday praised China’s “balanced position” on the Ukraine war, though he conceded Beijing had “questions and concerns” over the invasion, in what appeared to be a veiled admission of their diverging views over the protracted military assault. Putin made the comments when meeting Chinese leader Xi Jinping in person for the first time since the invasion at a regional summit in Uzbekistan, days after Russia suffered a series of major military setbacks in Ukraine. Russian troops are retreating en mass, having lost more territory in a week than they captured in five months. https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/15/asia/xi-putin-meeting-main-bar-intl-hnk/index.html

Sweden's prime minister has resigned after her government was defeated in Sunday's election.

It's not legal to do that. Deportation occurs to the country of origin. Advocating illegal activity is against the forum rules. Troll post removed.

Katie Benner, Adam Goldman and Charlie Savage Wed, September 14, 2022 at 5:21 AM WASHINGTON — When John Durham was assigned by the Justice Department in 2019 to examine the origins of the investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, President Donald Trump and his supporters expressed a belief that the inquiry would prove that a “deep state” conspiracy including top Obama-era officials had worked to sabotage him. Now Durham appears to be winding down his three-year inquiry without anything close to the results Trump was seeking. The grand jury that Durham has recently used to hear evidence has expired, and while he could convene another, there are currently no plans to do so, three people familiar with the matter said. https://www.yahoo.com/news/durham-inquiry-appears-wind-down-122137208.html

A new survey shows that most Americans are worried about President Biden’s mental health following a fresh spate of public gaffes and awkward antics, leaving many to wonder if the 79-year-old should run for reelection two years from now. According to the Issues & Insights/TIPP poll released Monday, 59% of respondents were “concerned” about the president’s mental health, with 36% saying they were “very concerned” and 23% “somewhat concerned.” Just 39% said they were either “not very concerned” (18%) or “not concerned at all” (21%) about Biden’s faculties. https://nypost.com/2022/08/11/majority-of-americans-concerned-about-bidens-mental-health-poll/

Kenneth Starr, the polarizing former independent counsel who led a highly publicized investigation of then-President Bill Clinton, has died at the age of 76, according to his family. He died at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center in Houston of complications from surgery, his family said. The high-powered Washington lawyer, who also served as U.S. solicitor general and a federal judge during a decadeslong career in government, played a pivotal role in the investigation of the so-called Whitewater scandal that engulfed the Clinton administration in the mid-1990s and eventually led to the first impeachment of a president in more than a century. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/ken-starr-investigator-probed-clinton-administration-dies-76/story?id=89841565

London CNN Business — Royal wills are never made public. That means what happens to much of the Queen’s personal wealth following her death last week will remain a family secret. Forbes estimated last year that the late monarch’s personal fortune was worth $500 million, made up of her jewels, art collection, investments and two residences, Balmoral Castle in Scotland and Sandringham House in Norfolk. The Queen inherited both properties from her father, King George VI. https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/13/business/prince-william-1-billion-inheritance/index.html

The stock market fell the most since June 2020 following Wall Street’s humbling realization that inflation is not slowing as much as hoped NEW YORK -- The Dow Jones Industrial Average sank more than 1,250 points Tuesday, its steepest sell-off in more than two years, after a government report showed that inflation is maintaining a surprisingly strong grip on the U.S. economy. The S&P 500 sank 4.3%, its biggest drop since June 2020. The Dow fell 3.9% and the Nasdaq composite closed 5.2% lower. The sell-off ended a four-day winning streak for the major stock indexes and erased an early rally in European markets. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/asian-stocks-gain-ahead-us-inflation-report-89797779

A Michigan man’s obsession with the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory culminated in a Sunday incident in which he murdered his wife and badly injured one of his children, his daughter told The Daily Beast. Igor Lanis, a 53-year-old resident of the Michigan city of Walled Lake, was killed Sunday by police after he started shooting at them with a shotgun, according to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that the injured child, a 25-year-old woman, managed to call police around 4:11 a.m. after being shot by her father. https://www.thedailybeast.com/igor-lanis-murdered-wife-shot-daughter-after-being-sucked-down-qanon-rabbit-hole-family-says?fbclid=IwAR2Ex80txphSljq6epYz_eBRQbHAiSRcXySx5YyJAe85-mB0VTwm1HA4w00

Also of interest: Sweden election: Result could take days as vote too close to call Sweden's election was too close to call on Sunday night, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said. Exit polls at first predicted victory for the incumbent left-wing coalition, but results later suggested the right-wing bloc could narrowly win. Crime and integration of communities were major issues in the campaign, and the far-right Sweden Democrats look set to become the second-largest party. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62872545 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62872545

Gang violence and gun crime have increased in Sweden in recent years A sharp rise in gun violence and gang crime has become a leading issue in what Sweden's media have described as one of the ugliest election campaigns in history. "Right at this spot here we had a shooting about this time last year," says Martin Gunér, a police officer in the suburb of Gottsunda, just a 15-minute drive from the medieval spires of the university city of Uppsala. Gottsunda is notorious for drugs and gun battles, and classified by police as one of the 10 most vulnerable areas in Sweden. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62823893

Only working members of the British royal family will be allowed to wear military uniform during the state funeral and processions for the late Queen Elizabeth II, veteran royal correspondent and CBS News contributor Roya Nikkhah reported Monday.
