She could start by drawing up articles of impeachment and convince her Republican colleagues to agree to removal. If they’re so afraid to the point that they can’t do their jobs and are watching while we slide into fascism.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) this week described widespread worry about the chaos of President Trump's second administration, telling nonprofit leaders in her state: "We are all afraid."

Sen. Lisa Murkowski said a fear of retaliation under President Donald Trump’s administration is rising to levels she’s not seen before, acknowledging this week that it is so pervasive that even the outspoken senator is “oftentimes very anxious” to speak up out of fear of recrimination.

It is as hard as anything I have been engaged in, in the 20-plus years I've been in the Senate," Murkowski told Laurie Wolf, president and CEO of The Foraker Group, which hosted the discussion.

"It is head spinning," Murkowski told the group, according to the Anchorage news outlet. "It seems that just when you've made a little bit of progress on one issue that had caused so much anxiety, there's another one."

She argued Congress has given the executive branch too much power, "It's called the checks and balances. And right now, we are not balancing as the Congress," the local outlet reported.

These are the so called worst of the worst violent criminals.

Traffic ticket and fishing violation from 6 years ago.

Visa Revoked Without Human Review

The reason for the revocation being served: Onda has been identified in a criminal records check. Yet, according to his attorney, Adam Crayk, the Japanese man only has two speeding tickets on his record, in addition to a catch and release violation from a fishing trip six years ago , which was eventually dismissed. So how did we reach this point?

Speaking to KSL NewsRadio, Crayk said it was an automatic revocation issued by a computer. “It’s turned out that the Department of Homeland Security has used a tech bot to simply go out and search,” he said. “And anything that comes back with any type of criminally related conduct… it issued a revocation. It was never subject to human review or human eyes.”

As the action is so arbitrary and capricious, Crayk revealed that he is filing a temporary restraining order (TRO) in court to challenge the validity of the revocation. For Onda, though, it remains a very worrying situation. “I feel helpless,” he told KSL NewsRadio’s Adam Small. “Like nobody knows (the) answer, nobody knows what to do, what’s going to happen.”

Onda added that BYU has been very supportive, but he is preparing for the worst. The situation is also proving very stressful for his family. He is married with five children, two of whom were born in the States. They now don’t know whether they’ll be able to finish the school year over there

it’s nothing bad actually. its more so just grand standing trumpian verbiage.

Paraphrasing “self deport if you’re illegal or there will be consequences”

As if Uscis carters to illegal immigration. Why post those kinds of messages on the website instead of the border where the illegal immigration is happening?

Basically if you are here seeking asylum and you go to Uscis to legalize your stay, you might feel targeted by such subtle threats. They forget people have to actually be here first before applying for asylum.

And then there are pictures of wanted immigrants on the website. I don’t believe I’ve seen that before.

Last I checked Uscis was not Interpol grin
And asylum is a legal process.
Yeah, this seems to be part in parcel of a larger strategy of fear developed by someone other than Trump (Trump isn't aware enough to do it).

Officers who identified as another gender but who did not have a GRC were not allowed to, but if a trans woman had a certificate, they could strip search a female detainee.

https://news.sky.com/story/trans-women-to-be-strip-searched-by-male-transport-police-after-court-ruling-13350577
It's either the British Transport Police are tripping, or the agency that wrote the above article are being mischievous.

Either ways, I'm posting it as a test of comprehension, and I advice it be read twice before you comment.

The below is likely more in tune with the supreme courts judgement, and what the BTP will and should do.

“However, as an interim position while we digest yesterday’s judgment, we have advised our officers that any same-sex searches in custody are to be undertaken in accordance with the biological birth sex of the detainee.

The war is over, only that the protagonists are making their last effort to hold on to territory. The war ended the day Trump was sworn in.
EU and democrats are the ones fuelling the animosities. Trump is doing everything he can to silence the guns. No military aid he has authorized yet to Ukraine.
EU wants Zelensky to strike Moscow and are ready to provide him with long range missiles . Those are the real warmongers.
Whether fighting continues, the end result will be

_Russia keeps Eastern Ukraine

_West Ukraine never joins NATO.

_As a result of Russia resetting relationships ,the most potent threat to the economies of Europe and America is clearly identified as China.

The NHS will be pursued if it does not follow new guidance on single-sex spaces, the chairwoman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has said.

Along with other public bodies, the NHS will be receiving guidelines after the UK Supreme Court unanimously ruled a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law.

"We've been speaking to the health service for an inordinately long time - we will now be asking them when they will be updating their advice," Baroness Falkner told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

Currently the NHS guidance says trans people should be accommodated according to the way they dress, their names and their pronouns. Under the ruling this would be scrapped.

Five key takeaways from Supreme Court ruling

The EHRC says it is "working at pace" to provide an updated code of conduct for services, including the NHS and prisons, and it expects its updated guidance to be in place by the summer.

The ruling could have implications for spaces such as hospital wards, changing rooms and domestic refuges.

Asked whether the EHRC would pursue the NHS if it doesn't change, Baroness Falkner replied "yes we will".

"We will be having those conversations with them to update that guidance," she said.

An NHS spokesperson told the BBC the service was "reviewing guidance on same sex accommodation" and as part of this process "will consider and take into account all relevant legislation and the Supreme Court ruling".

Wednesday's case was brought by women's rights campaigners who challenged the Scottish government, arguing sex-based protections should apply only to people that are born female.

Judges ruled that when the term "woman" is used in the Equality Act it means a biological woman, and "sex" means biological sex.

This means a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) - a legal document that recognises an individual's gender identity - will now not change a person's legal sex for the purposes of the Equality Act.

The Supreme Court justices argued this was the only consistent, coherent interpretation.

There is already Equality Act guidance which allows for women-only spaces, such as toilets, changing rooms and hospital wards in certain circumstances.

But under the new ruling a person who was born male but identifies as a woman does not have a right to use a space or service designated as women only.

That includes transgender women who have legally changed their gender and hold a GRC.

Baroness Falkner talks to Today's Nick Robinson about the Supreme Court ruling

Baroness Falkner said trans people should use their "power of advocacy" to ask for facilities including a "third space" for toilets.

"Single-sex services like changing rooms must be based on biological sex if a male person is allowed to use - it's no longer a single sex space."

She added the ruling was "a victory for common sense only if you recognise that trans people exist, they have rights and their rights must be respected".

British Transport Police said trans women in custody would now be searched by male officers as an interim measure while it reviews its policies and practices.

"Under previous policy, we had advised that someone with a GRC may be searched in accordance with their acquired sex," a spokesperson said.

"However as an interim position while we digest yesterday's judgement, we have advised our officers that any same sex searches in custody are to be undertaken in accordance with the biological birth sex of the detainee."

Baroness Falkner said the next stage of litigation may well be tests of the efficacy of GRCs.

Asked about whether she thought GRCs were now "worthless", she replied: "We don't believe they are. We think they're quite important."

The new guidance could also have an impact on women's sport, where the question over whether transgender women can participate has been a high-profile issue in recent years.

Sports have tightened up rules around transgender athletes at the elite levels. Athletics, cycling and aquatics have banned transgender women from taking part in women's events, while other sports have put in place eligibility criteria.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said a review on gender and equality laws was "a good idea".

Speaking to broadcasters during a visit to Cambridge, she said: "We need to make sure that the law is clear and the public bodies follow the law, not guidance from organisations that don't understand it."

She added the laws needed to be updated to ensure that they are "there to prevent discrimination, not for social engineering".

Watch: What Supreme Court's ruling on the definition of a woman means... in 65 seconds

Scottish Greens MSP Maggie Chapman, a prominent supporter of trans rights, told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme the decision would "stoke the fires of the culture war" and trans people now feared they could lose access to facilities they've used, in some cases, for decades.

She added that trans people had been attacked in recent years "just for being who they are" and she was "concerned" about the impact of the Supreme Court decision.

Trans rights campaigners have said they will be examining the judgment closely to decide on their next steps.

The UK government has welcomed the "clarity and confidence" for women and service providers brought by the judgement.

A government spokesperson said: "Single sex spaces are protected in law and will always be protected by this government, and trusts should follow the clarity the ruling provides."

Health minister Karin Smyth said the government would be reviewing the ruling to "make sure we are fully compliant with it" and would be working with equality bodies to make sure organisations were fully compliant.

She said the government was not interested in "so-called culture wars" and believed that everybody should have "their dignity and privacy and their rights respected".

"I think now is the time to make sure that we look to the future, that rights are very clear for people and that service providers absolutely make sure they comply with the law," she said.

UNLESS IT CRIMINAL CASE, THEN SCOTLAND ACTS ON ITS OWN.

THE CASE THAT WAS RULED RECENTLY WAS A CIVIL CASE.
What's going on, this is bizarre

Letitia James should be fast tracked to prison or pay 2 billion in damages.

She claimed her father was her husband to secure mortgage.
That's just one.

Many people who go after trump in a way have karma come their way.

Our loving God is truly protecting that man
Lot of Trump persecutors have very dirty deals they've made. They all went out, sparing no effort whatsoever to shut him down permanently.
God had his plans.
Notice how Ijebos and his choir are silent about Letitia. Loudly silent.
She of the noone is above the law.She should due in penury.
