Tariff Ultimatum on Iran Trade Sparks Global Tension

                                                Doing Business With Iran? Trump Says Pay a 25% US Tariff. A new 25% tariff threat from President Donald Trump has sent a jolt through international markets, after he declared that any nation continuing to trade with Iran would face steep U.S. penalties. The announcement, delivered abruptly through social media, signaled a sharp escalation in Washington’s effort to isolate Tehran economically. The move comes amid heightened criticism of Iran’s internal crackdown on dissent, which U.S. officials argue warrants stronger international pressure. By targeting not just Iran but its trading partners, the administration aims to force countries—including major global players—to reconsider their economic ties with Tehran.

Trump Administration Expands Expedited Deportations Nationwide

The Trump administration has announced a significant expansion of the "expedited removal" policy, which allows for the swift deportation of undocumented immigrants who cannot prove they have lived in the U.S. continuously for two years or more. Previously limited to areas near the southern border, this policy can now be applied anywhere in the country.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that this change aims to enhance national security and public safety while reducing government costs. The policy, which took effect on January 21, 2025, is part of a broader crackdown on immigration initiated by President Trump.

Critics argue that the expanded policy could lead to wrongful deportations and legal challenges. Until now, undocumented immigrants detained in the U.S. were given a notice to appear in immigration court, where they could present their case for asylum. The new policy bypasses this process, allowing for immediate deportation if the individual cannot prove their continuous residence in the U.S. for the required period.

The Trump administration has also rescinded guidelines that prevented immigration officers from making arrests in sensitive areas such as schools and churches. This move has raised concerns among immigrant communities and advocacy groups, who fear increased enforcement actions and potential abuses of power.

As the policy takes effect, it remains to be seen how it will impact the lives of undocumented immigrants and the broader immigration landscape in the United States.
