Developing story first seen 2 hours ago
The updated coverage centres on Trump’s threat to double tariffs on Mexico immediately unless it stops a migrant caravan heading towards the US border. He said the midterm results had encouraged renewed migration and warned there would be “no leniency”.
The caravan, estimated at about 1,500 people, mostly from Central America, set off on Tuesday from Tapachula, near Guatemala. The article also notes possible changes to immigration enforcement after the midterms: Texas’s incoming Democratic attorney general could stop defending the state’s SB4 law, while the US Supreme Court is weighing Iowa’s appeal of a ruling blocking a similar law.
