As previewed, the administration set about further militarizing the US-Mexico border and targeting people requesting asylum and refugees while conducting raids and deportations in undocumented communities, detaining and deporting immigrants and spreading fear.Critics are outraged, if not surprised.

There could, however, be some very serious competition for the Nigerian as Liverpool may also fancy a nibble. Continue reading...
