#Trump’s latest enterprise is being developed by #Dubai real estate company #DarGlobal & will be the first Trump International Hotel in the #MiddleEast.

…The advertised “golden visa” does not specify which country it is for, but in Feb Trump announced the concept of selling a "#GoldCard" #visa for $5M potentially offering #wealthy buyers residency in the #US & granting them a pathway to #citizenship.

Wow, more intimidation of non-profit groups:

"The Republican-controlled U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security is investigating the Chinese-American Planning Council, a New York City nonprofit, alleging in a letter that the taxpayer-funded group’s know-your-rights training sessions may help undocumented people evade immigrant enforcement officers."

Malta ‘golden passport’ scheme breaks the law, the EU’s top court rules.

The European Court of Justice has ruled that Malta’s “golden passport” scheme violates EU law, forcing the island to scrap the commercialisation of EU citizenship.

The Maltese scheme has implications for the entire bloc, as people who acquire Maltese citizenship enjoy the right to live and work anywhere in the bloc, and to vote in EU elections.

So about a u.s judge that got recently arrested with the backing of an "administrative warrant."

A #judge in #Wisconsin state was arrested due to helping a person targeted by the current #us #administration.

Here's what happened: The judge was caught guiding this person to through a private jury door trying to hide them from #ice or from agents. Resulting in this judge getting arrested by the #fbi

The ice agents apparently did not need a #judicial #warrant to enter the #courthouse they instead used an "administrative warrant." Usually you hear about getting warrants from a judge not the #administration. It's certainly different from the everyday.

Things are getting more tensed and extreme in the u.s

Not to mention that current administration is set on experimenting on whether they can #deport u.s #citizens and taking away birthright #citizenship from traditionally considered, u.s citizens.
