My colleague @cass_zimmer has a new piece out analyzing the use of Guantanamo Bay as a detainment center for migrants:
Yesterday, the Trump administration sent the first 10 deportees to Guantanamo Bay, as part of a broader plan to detain 30,000 individuals there. This flight cost $142,500 alone, one indicator that this move will cost US taxpayers billions. Read more ⬇️

Notable that the deportation flight is set to land in Punjab, where our @NiskanenCenter research has indicated a disproportionate number of recent irregular Indian migrants appear to be hailing from:
A US mil C-17 carrying dozens of migrants who entered the country illegally left earlier today for Amritsar, India, defense officials said. It's first such flight outside this hemisphere. It will stop in Guam before it's scheduled Feb. 5 arrival, local time, officials said.

Great op-ed from @carinemhajjar in the @BostonGlobe. It is easy to take for granted now, but in a rapidly aging world it is a mistake to create the conditions where young people born in the U.S. may one day choose to live elsewhere because they have been disenfranchised:

U.S. agrees to pause tariffs on Mexico for 1 month in exchange for increased security cooperation:
Sostuvimos una buena conversación con el presidente Trump con mucho respeto a nuestra relación y la soberanía; llegamos a una serie de acuerdos: 1.México reforzará la frontera norte con 10 mil elementos de la Guardia Nacional de forma inmediata, para evitar el tráfico de drogas de México a Estados Unidos, en particular fentanilo. 2.Estados Unidos se compromete a trabajar para evitar el tráfico de armas de alto poder a México. 3.Nuestros equipos empezarán a trabajar hoy mismo en dos vertientes: seguridad y comercio. ponen en pausa los aranceles por un mes a partir de ahora.
