Direct Relief has a perfect score on Charity Navigator. If you can donate to help the hurricane victims, please do.

If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed.

They’re threatening these children with the options of being held indefinitely in ICE facilities versus taking the $2500 and leaving. They’re also threatening them with switching roles with their parents. Hence why they’re calling this “Operation Freaky Friday”

JUST IN: ICE didn’t say how much migrants would get or when the offer would take effect, but The AP obtained an email to migrant shelters saying children 14 years of age and older would get $2,500 each. Children were given 24 hours to respond.
