Dans la plainte, elles racontent qu'elles étaient en train d'attendre leur tour pour acheter du lait et des œufs quand cet officier a fait un commentaire sur l'accent de Martha Hernandez et leur a demandé leur lieu de naissance.
Les deux femmes, dont l'une est née au Texas et la seconde en Californie, ont aussi expliqué que l'agent les a retenues pendant quarante minutes. "Cet incident fait partie d'une tendance plus large que nous avons observée de tactiques abusives utilisées par les agents aux frontières, qui se sont aggravées sous l'administration Trump", a indiqué à l'AFP Cody Wofsy, avocat de l'ACLU.

NJ attorney general subpoenas Trump’s inaugural committee

NEW YORK (AP)
President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee received a sweeping request for financial records this week from prosecutors in New Jersey, the second subpoena the group has received in as many weeks as its fundraising and spending draws mounting scrutiny.

The committee said Friday that it is in contact with the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office, which issued the request for documents on Monday as part of a civil inquiry into how the committee raised and spent $107 million on inaugural events.

The subpoena, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, resembles the wide-ranging request for documents the committee received last week from federal prosecutors in Manhattan, who are investigating, among other potential crimes, whether foreigners illegally contributed to the inaugural events. Among other materials, the New York prosecutors asked for documents related to any payments made by donors directly to contractors and vendors who worked for the committee.

How President Trump came to declare a national emergency to fund his border wall
 
Building a wall on the southern border was a cornerstone of Trump’s presidential campaign, and even before Democrats took control of the House, he had stewed over his inability to make it a reality. The tension came to a head in a March meeting in the White House residence, when Trump learned that his aides had secured only $1.6 billion for border fencing in an omnibus spending bill.
 
Trump fumed to then-House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) that the funding was a fraction of what he would need and threatened not to sign the measure, according to two people with knowledge of the conversation.
 
“We gave you what you wanted!” Ryan shot back, the people said.
 
Swearing profusely, Trump said that was not true and asked Ryan who had relayed such a message. Ryan said it was Trump’s own aides who negotiated the bill, including Marc Short, then the White House legislative affairs director, the people said.
 
Around that time, aides put out a statement saying the president would sign the bill. That sent Trump into a rage. At one point, he declared the aides did not represent him and the statement should be rescinded, the people said. He was eventually convinced by his equally angry chief of staff, John F. Kelly, to sign the measure — although he remained furious with Ryan and his own team.
 
Soon thereafter, Trump told aides he had to find a way to get his wall without Congress.

White House and Justice Department lawyers are planning to challenge in particular the legal standing of those who plan to sue, and they are contemplating ways to keep the case out of courts that might be unsympathetic to the administration’s position, officials said.
 
The administration told surrogates on a call Friday morning that they are looking for ways to stop California, in particular, from bringing a lawsuit. Such a suit would likely come in the Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, where the Trump administration has seen a series of legal defeats.

Ex-federal prosecutor: I would have 'owned' wearing a wire to record Trump

"President Trump's lucky I'm not in the Department of Justice because after Comey's firing, I would have discussed the 25th amendment," Rossi told hosts Krystal Ball and Mattie Duppler. "I would have discussed wearing a wire, and I would own it."

The New York Times reported last year that former deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein considered secretly recording Trump, and discussed removing Trump from office via the 25th amendment with other DOJ officials.
