the @rtlnieuws article reports that one of the complexities is that Venlo is a very busy station. LOL

That was my first reaction. If you have been in Venlo, I doubt that you ever thought that it was very busy.

Fortunately, @wikipedia helps out:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_stations_in_the_Netherlands

Beter even this page (fair, a lot can change in 10 years): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_busiest_railway_stations_in_the_Netherlands

In that list of busiest train stations, Venlo is not even in the Top 100!

#Trump aide claims man shot in #Minneapolis was a "domestic terrorist" before even the tiniest bit of an investigation

Satan’s minion, #StephenMiller, is claiming, without evidence, that the #US #citizen shot & killed by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday was a “domestic terrorist” who “tried to assassinate federal law endorsement.”

He did not learn until later that he had witnessed a #US attack on an *alleged* Islamic State camp.

#Trump announced late Thursday that the US had launched a “powerful & deadly strike” against forces of the Islamic State group in #Nigeria. The Nigerian government has since confirmed that it cooperated with the US government in its strike.

“But the policies they’ve chosen have created extra costs for businesses, & businesses tend to pass on costs,” Sahm added.

The cost of #Trump’s policies is likely to increase in the coming months.

His most inflationary policy is his campaign to build a wall of #tariffs around the US #economy. Tariffs are #taxes on imports, & they are *initially* paid by the businesses that bring goods into the #US.

The federal judge who sought to meet with US #BorderPatrol boss Greg #Bovino on a daily basis said Wednesday she “was a little surprised” to see the #feds challenge that arrangement — especially after Bovino’s appearance on #FauxNews.

#US District Judge Sara Ellis made the comment Wed evening, after the #7thCircuit Appeals Court agreed to put a temporary hold on her standing appointment with the #CBP’s commander-at-large.

Ellis noted she’s been “receiving emails from the public.” She shared them with lawyers in the suit that prompted #Bovino’s appearance in her courtroom this week & a #TRO earlier this month.

“I do want to note that, certainly, any decision that I made to monitor the effectiveness & compliance of the [TRO] that I entered was based solely on the evidence submitted in this case. It was not, as the government asserts, based on anything outside of the record,”Ellis said.

There’s still a chance #Bovino could wind up spending more time in Ellis’ courtroom. The appeals court asked for additional briefing on the issue by the end of business Thursday.

Bovino was also due to appear at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse on Thursday morning for a deposition behind closed doors. Ellis has said it could go as long as 5 hours.

#law #immigration #Chicago #FactCheck #TrumpLies

Though the appeals court called off #Bovino’s appearance, lawyers still met the judge in her courtroom, acc/to a transcript posted on the docket.

“I did see Mr. Bovino’s interview on Fox News today, where he did state that he was excited to come to court & that this would not impede his activities or his ability to manage the operation at all. So I was a little surprised just to see that the government’s position…was directly contradicted by Mr. Bovino,”Ellis said.
