Explaining Trump's new immigration, deportation policy in 7 sentences

Explaining Trump's new immigration, deportation policy in 7 sentences
Deportation of illegal immigrants from the United States just got easier.

US President Donald Trump just overhauled the government's deportation process with the signing of two new memos that dramatically expanded US deportation powers and would "take the shackles off" of immigration agents.

The guidelines are part of Trump's wider security plan and making good his promise to crack down on illegal immigrants.




Below are the key features of Trump's new immigration/deportation policy:

1. Widening the net. Nearly all of America's 11 million undocumented immigrants, to include those who violated immigration laws, will be subject for deportation.
2. Widening the enforcement. The new order deputizes local law enforcement agencies to arrest undocumented immigrants.
3. Beefing up. The number of agents assigned at the Enforcement and Removal Operations Office will turn triple with the hiring of more personnel.
4. Expedited removal. All immigrants caught near the US border will be immediately deported upon arrest.
5. "Deport-first" strategy. Undocumented immigrants will be sent back home while their cases are being heard in immigration courts.
6. Children included. Immigrant children who came across the border to reunite with their parents will be treated as regular unauthorized immigrants and will be placed under deportation proceedings.
7. Criminal liability. Legal immigrants who paid smugglers to bring their children into the US will be subjected to criminal prosecution.

What the LTO says about changing mag wheels, rims and tires of your car, motorcycle

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket. If they don't meet LTO standards, you fail the test. Failing the MVIS test means you have to retake the inspection and worse, you can't register your vehicle any more. For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u

The construction and use of bike lanes are becoming more common across cities, helping to promote biker safety. Motorists are now being reminded (constantly!) that they are prohibited from driving a vehicle on a bicycle lane except under limited circumstances, like when (1) entering or leaving a roadway; or, (2) preparing for a turn from an intersection. LTO guidelines for bicycle lanes Just recently, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) released a public advisory regarding the guidelines and protocols for drivers in the operation of motorcycles, cars, trucks and other motorized vehicles.
