Scoop: At a secret meeting this summer, an aide to Stephen Miller laid out Trump administration's plan to make it easier for states to round up and institutionalize mentally ill homeless people — by pushing a drastic policy change that would weaken the rights of millions of disabled Americans.

How Trump’s homelessness crackdown became a sweeping retreat from disability rights
After issuing a memo making it easier to institutionalize homeless people, the Justice Department began abandoning cases protecting disabled people’s right to live in the community.

October 1, 2026 split screen. On the left, what happened to Becca Good after Trump and others slandered Renee (from the family's lawsuit against Stephen). On the right, some calls Katie Miller's parents got. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/28... www.justice.gov/usao-ma/pr/m...

compounded the injury. Because senior federal officials, including the President and
Defendant Noem, publicly branded Renee a terrorist and a criminal within hours of her
death (as discussed below), Becca lost her privacy along with her partner and has been
made to relive the killing as a subject of national argument. She has received continuous Proia also allegedly sent the following text messages to phones numbers associated with the victim’s parents:

a.    “Good morning [first name of victim’s mother].  Does it disturb you that such evil as [Federal Official] is married to the creature that slithered from your Cunt?”

b.    [Photo of Victim 1]

c.    “My god, how can you be proud of this filth?”

d.    “Hey [first name of victim’s father], how goes it?  Hope your daughter marrying a Jewish Nazi/white supremacist is working out for you and [first name of victim’s mother].  Did you raise her to be trash or did that just happen naturally?”

long road ahead for whichever neo-Nazi Trump staffer is tasked with doing brain surgery on the AI-powered America-dot-gov site
A screenshot from America.gov showing a question and answer about tariffs.

Header: America.gov with a small U.S. flag and a "Menu" button.

Question in a light blue bubble: "Who pays for tariffs on goods being imported to America, American importers or foreign exporters?"

Answer text: "U.S. importers pay the tariff to the government. Foreign exporters do not pay U.S. Customs.

• When goods enter the United States, the importer of record is legally responsible for any duty. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
• CBP collects that duty at the port of entry. CBP: customs duty
• A tariff is a tax on imported goods. Who ultimately bears the cost in prices (importer, U.S. buyer, or foreign seller) depends on the market; that is separate from who must pay CBP. BLS

Duty rates come from the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. CBP makes the final determination of what is owed."America.gov Menu Who in America is entitled to due process? The U.S. Constitution says the government may not deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. The Fifth Amendment applies that rule to the federal government. The Fourteenth Amendment applies the same rule to state governments. Official annotations treat this as covering persons, not only citizens. Congress’s Constitution Annotated also notes that people already present in the United States—including those whose presence is unlawful, involuntary, or transitory—are entitled to due process protection in that setting. What process is required depends on the situation; that is decided case by case. Sources: National Archives; Constitution Annotated (Fifth Amendment procedure); Constitution Annotated (aliens who have entered).
