U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement American history U.S. historians are rallying to stop federal immigration agencies from destroying records of their treatment towards immigrants. In a letter addressed to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which instructs federal agencies on how to maintain their records, the American Historical Association has demanded that the regulatory body shut down any "threats to the preservation of records relating to the treatment of immigrants by the U.S. Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)."

U.S. Immigration Fox News host Tucker Carlson hit out at one of the guests on his show—telling him he is in the country illegally and suggesting he could have him deported. For a debate on immigration, Carlson hosted guest Cesar Vargas, a DACA recipient who entered the country without documentation as a child and fought for four years to become a lawyer and eventually secure a green card. The pair were discussing the Philadelphia mayor’s recent decision to end an information-sharing agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when things got heated—and personal.

U.S. Tax Cuts Wage Increases President Donald Trump’s corporate tax cuts might not have trickled down to American workers in the way that he suggested they would. Trump and Republican leadership have long touted their tax cuts as a massive boon to America’s working class, if not through direct tax reductions or refunds, then through the trickle-down effect of bonuses and wage increases from their employers who receive massive corporate cuts. “Tax reform is working,” Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan said in January, mentioning Apple’s decision to reward a bonus of $2,500 in stock grants to some Apple employees. “Workers are coming home and telling their families they got a bonus, or they got a raise or they got better benefits.” President Donald Trump flanked by daughter Ivanka Trump and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin speaks during a tour of the H&K Equipment Company in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, on January 18.

(Want to get California Today by email? Here’s the sign-up .) It has been two months since officials at the University of Southern California announced that the university’s president, C.L.

U.S. Africa Command U.S. Military The United States military is looking to withdraw hundreds of its troops from Africa as Washington shifts its resources towards tackling threats from China and Russia. U.S. defense officials said the troop cuts would involve scaling back missions in Central and Western Africa where the focus has been on training local troops to tackle Islamist militant groups. Leader of the United States Africa Command, General Thomas Waldhauser, told The New York Times the draw down would start in countries such as Cameroon. “We’re not walking away,” Waldhauser said, adding that the U.S. would “reserve the right to unilaterally return” if needed to protect American interests.
