#Trump Officials Accused of Mob Tactics to Kill a #Climate Measure

Nations were poised to approve the first fee on #pollution from #ships. That’s when the Trump admin began the #threats.

Among other threats from US officials, Secretary of #State #MarcoRubio personally called officials in several countries to threaten financial penalties & other punishments if they continued to support the ship pollution agreement.

The #WestVirginia Citizen Action Group then filed a lawsuit claiming Morrisey exceeded his #authority.

Under #state #law, the group argued, the governor could deploy the #NationalGuard out of state only for certain purposes, such as responding to a #NaturalDisaster or another state’s #emergency request.

Morrisey’s office has argued the deployment was authorized under federal law.

…foreign diplomats said they were stunned by what they described as “nasty” & “very personal” threats made by #State Department officials, which were mostly aimed at leaders from poorer or small countries that are economically dependent on the #UnitedStates. Some of the delegations were summoned to the #US Embassy in London for these discussions, these people said.

An ambassador from #Asia was told that, if he voted in favor of the plan, his country’s sailors would no longer be allowed to disembark at #US ports. #Caribbean diplomats were told that they could be #blacklisted from entering the US. And #MarcoRubio, the secy of #state, personally called officials in several countries to threaten financial penalties & other punishments if they continued to support the agreement to cut ship #pollution.

In the days before the #Trump admin deported hundreds of #Venezuelan immigrants to #CECOT, a notorious prison in #ElSalvador, the president of that country demanded something: the return of 9 MS13 gang leaders in US custody. Secy of #State #MarcoRubio, in a March 13 phone call with Salvadoran President Nayib #Bukele, promised the request would be fulfilled….But there was one obstacle: Some of the MS-13 members Bukele wanted were “ #informants” under the #protection of the US govt, Rubio told him.

Call on the #Senate to co-sponsor and pass the resolution now. Let the #UnitedStates join the rest of the world and #recognize the #Palestinian #state.

Making the job bad news:

Suppose that when an ICE agent tries to arrest someone, state and local officials demand to see their identification and the warrant for arresting that person. If the agent fails to provide one, the state law-enforcement officer could say: "Since you are apparently not working for the federal government and have no arrest warrant for this person, I have to assume you are a common criminal trying to kidnap someone. Kidnapping is a state crime. You are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent, etc." Then the ICE agent is handcuffed, taken away and charged with kidnapping. ICE agents who break down doors to gain entry to buildings and can't prove they are federal agents following lawful orders could be arrested for burglary or breaking and entering under state laws. Having states aggressively enforce their own laws against individual agents and doing their best to not have them released on bail changes the incentive structure for wanting to work for ICE. How many headlines do there have to be saying: "ICE agent arrested for kidnapping and held without bail" before many agents start looking for other jobs?

The whole article on how to defeat #Trump #blackmail is excellent. Please boost so the idea takes hold, especially if you k ow people in state and local law enforcement.
