Britain's Keir Starmer arrives in China for pivotal visit

... British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived in Beijing on Wednesday at the head of a 60-strong delegation for a three day official visit aimed at boosting trade and re-engaging with China after almost a decade of wrangling. ...

Chatham House research fellow Yu Jie told the BBC that what China wanted to get out of improved ties with Britain was geopolitical capital and to open up its market to Chinese investment, which currently accounts for a "very minimal" 0.7% of direct foreign investment in Britain.

Yu said that in the midst of the "disruption" being wreaked by the foreign policies of U.S. President Donald Trump, Beijing may view Britain as a reliable bet that can offer "order and organization." ...

Funny how GOP leadership can see the retrubution, but the GOP cop with 37 years experience thinks what's happening in Minnesota is just Cop Business As Usual.

Look, when in the aftermath of 9/11 our then current border and immigration agency was dismantled and transformed into DHS and ICE came about I said this isn't going to go well. Same for the Patriot Act. Guess what? That thought aged well. The Patriot Act in all its forms has been used and abused. DHS for years have been a failed agency. ICE has now been militarized and is using terrorist tactics and violating constitutional protections. Yes, terrorist. The brain washing runs deep in this organization. I don't know how bad Border Patrol is but likely about the same state.

The whole agency needs to be dismantled and built from the ground up.
- It needs to protect our borders yes, but in a humane way.
- It needs to process immigration and visa, in a timely and humane way.
- Immigration violations and deportations are going to result in enforcement, again they need to be dealt with in a fair and humane way.

Sure there are "bad guys" crossing the border. Even Israel prior to the war couldn't stop that in Gaza which is tiny and totally militarized. And sure they need to be dealt with.

What we have going on is not dealing with "bad guys" but rather somewhat random sweeps of where ever documented individuals and even Americans are residing. We know they are residing there how? Oh, ya - they are documented. You have people who are here legally and documented according to our laws being treated like they are terrorist and criminals. Young Children are being separated from parents and sent to what are effectively concentration camps themselves. Prisoners in these camps are being effectively tortured and indeed even murdered. Virtually none of these people are criminals. They are being denied due process and treated like hardened criminals. The thugs in fatigues are detaining Americans as well. They are even sending them out of the country. Really, who are the bad guys here? Who are the terrorists? Bovino has been the thug in charge of these operations in Minnesota. Two murders of citizens on his watch. HE deserves prison.

ABOLISH DHS. ABOLISH ICE. They are failed organizations that do not measure up to America's beliefs and standards.

Rubio to warn of military action if Venezuela's new leaders stray from US goals
abcnews.go.com

... Secretary of State Marco Rubio plans on Wednesday to warn that the Trump administration is ready to take new military action against Venezuela if the country's interim leadership strays from U.S. expectations.

In prepared testimony for a hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Rubio says the U.S. is not at war with Venezuela and that its interim leaders are cooperating, but he notes that the Trump administration would not rule out using additional force if needed following a raid to capture former President Nicols Maduro early this month. ...
