Trump immigration policies, aging population slow US growth projection: CBO

The US population is projected to grow by 15 million in 30 years, a smaller estimate than in previous years, due to President Donald Trump's hard-line immigration policies and an aging population, the Congressional Budget Office has said. The nonpartisan budget office projected that US population will be 364 million in 30 years, 2.2 per cent smaller than it had predicted at this time a year ago. In September, the office issued a revised demographics report that showed Trump's plans for mass deportations and other strict immigration measures would result in roughly 320,000 people removed from the United States over the next 10 years. The country's total population is projected to stop growing in 2056 and remain roughly the same size as in the previous year, the CBO said. But without immigration, the population would begin to shrink in 2030. Even if the limits on immigration and increased deportations end with the Trump administration in three years, it's still a demographic shock, .

'60 Minutes' segment on Trump immigration policy accidentally airs online

A news segment about the Trump administration's immigration policy that was abruptly pulled from 60 Minutes was mistakenly aired on a TV app after the last-minute decision not to air it touched off a public debate about journalistic independence. The segment featured interviews with migrants who were sent to a notorious El Salvador prison called the Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, under President Donald Trump's aggressive crackdown on immigration. The story was pulled from Global Television Network, one of Canada's largest networks, but still ran on the network's app. Global Television Network swiftly corrected the error, but copies of it continued to float around the internet and pop up before being taken down. Paramount's content protection team is in the process of routine take down orders for the unaired and unauthorized segment, a CBS spokesperson said Tuesday via email.

Allowing skilled immigrants to train US workers 'is MAGA', says Trump

President Donald Trump has made hardline immigration policies a signature issue, but acknowledged on Wednesday that he's been criticised for recently saying some skilled immigrants should be allowed into the country from his Make America Great Again supporters. Trump told an audience of business executives that the US needs immigrants who can train domestic workers in high-tech factories and insisted that doing so is not inconsistent with his core political beliefs. I love my conservative friends. I love MAGA. But this is MAGA, Trump said during an address to the US-Saudi Investment Forum, which he attended with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Those people are going to teach our people how to make computer chips, and in a short period of time, our people are going to be doing great. And those people can go home. The comments drew applause in the room. But last week, Trump sparred with Fox News host Laura Ingraham over the same issue. Ingraham suggested during an interview

US now plans to deport Abrego Garcia to Liberia as soon as Oct 31

The US government plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia, and could do so as early as Octobrt 31, according to a Friday court filing. The Salvadoran national's case has become a magnet for opposition to President Donald Trump's immigration policies since he was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, in violation of a settlement agreement. He was returned to the US in June after the US Supreme Court said the administration had to work to bring him back. Since he cannot be re-deported to El Salvador, ICE has been seeking to deport him to a series of African countries. Meanwhile, a federal judge in Maryland has previously barred his immediate deportation. Abrego Garcia's lawsuit there claims the Trump administration is illegally using the deportation process to punish him for the embarrassment of his earlier mistaken deportation. A Friday court filing from the Department of Homeland Security notes that Liberia is a thriving democracy and one of the United States's closest partner
