As a lawyer for a conservative think tank, Bondi filed a Supreme Court brief last year saying service members who followed such orders were committing crimes.

Jair was following the rules by attending his final green card interview. “The USCIS officer asked if just Jair could go back, and I went w/him because I was his attorney,” said lawyer said. “Instead of going into an interviewing room, we went into another room where there were two ICE agents.”

The reason we don’t sell H200, and other advanced chips to China is that they have dual-use (military and civilian) capability.
These will help China improve their AI, surveillance, and cyber espionage capability.
The export controls existed strictly for NatSec purposes.
