Q: How can markets trust the Fed is independent if it looks like there's a criminal investigation into Powell for not complying w/ Trump?

Judge is asked for emergency hearing after Congress members blocked from ICE facility in Minneapolis
The Trump administration secretly reimposed a policy limiting Congress members' access to immigration detention facilities a day after a federal immigration officer fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis, attorneys for several congressional Democrats said Monday in asking a federal judge to intervene. Three Democratic members of Congress from Minnesota were blocked from visiting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility near Minneapolis on Saturday, three days after an ICE officer shot and killed U.S. citizen Renee Good in the city. Last month, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb in Washington, D.C., temporarily blocked ICE from enforcing policies limiting Congress members’ access to immigration detention facilities.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Perhaps the most newsworthy bit in the NYT "interview" with Trump: He did tell ICE to go easy on his OWN industry and farms. The latter was pretty clear.
