More than 30 models were hired by Trump Model Management and brought to the US using the H1-B Program. Federal Law makes it clear that the employer must pay the amount stated in the H1-B application, in this case $75,000…. By failing to pay…the Trump is in clear violation of immigration law.

The highest court in our land has determined the government can deport human beings to countries not their own and without any legal review -- until at least such time as a court rules this unconstitutional. And, oh, the matter will be litigated for years. Welcome to the American gulag. It's here.

Day by passing day, we are watching what amounts to a national police riot by ICE. But what worries me is that what we are witnessing is not the actions of an agency that believes it will ever be subject to meaningful oversight or legal authority ever again. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-believ...
