As of 12:01 am ET today, most auto part imports will come with a 25% import tax. Not a single one of the 10 million cars turned out by US plants last year was built without some imported parts. The tariffs on parts will mean tens of billions of dollars in new costs to American car buyers and owners.

Another round of auto tariffs just went into effect. They could change the industry forever | CNN Business

The average car buyer doesn’t think about where the parts in their their vehicle come from – but automakers do.

Buried in this article is also this, proving that the US and El Salvador can agree to send people they illegally renditioned back to the US:

In Washington, the Trump administration was working to address Mr. Bukele’s confusion about whom the United States had sent him. Eight women who had been mistakenly sent were swiftly flown back.

The Salvadoran president wanted to confirm that all of the Venezuelans were actually members of Tren de Aragua. Any regular deportees were to be held separately in his prison.

Publicly, the administration insisted all 238 Venezuelans who were deported were members of Tren de Aragua. But few had documented public links to the gang and officials admitted that many did not have criminal records in the United States. “The lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose,” Robert L. Cerna, a top deportation official, wrote in a court filing.

NEW: a federal district court judge in Texas (appointed by Trump) joins a growing chorus of judges to declare that Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act is ILLEGAL. He bars the Trump admin from using the law to detain or remove any person held in the Southern District of Texas.

Neither the Court nor the parties question the Executive Branch's authority and
responsibility to enforce federal laws and, along with local law enforcement agencies, to protect the nation's population. Neither the Court nor the parties question that the Executive Branch can direct the detention and removal of aliens who engage in criminal activity in the United States.
The Executive Branch has and will continue to rely on the Immigration and Nationality Act to remove aliens found to represent a danger to the country. The question that this lawsuit presents is whether the President can utilize a specific statute, the AEA, to detain and remove Venezuelan aliens who are members of TdA. As to that question, the historical record renders clear that the President's invocation of the AEA through the Proclamation exceeds the scope of the statute and is contrary to the plain, ordinary meaning of the statute's terms. As a result, the Court concludes that as a matter of law, the Executive Branch cannot rely on the AFA, based on the Proclamation, to detain the Named Petitioners and the certified class, or to remove them from the country.'

I was among those who pointed out that an inability to get Abrego Garcia made Trump look weak. Trump can't stand to look weak. Now he's acknowledged he can get Abrego Garcia back. In doing so, he's given the lawyers the ammunition they need to prevail in court. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
