UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Important clarification—the tariffs aren't fully walked back today, only for the goods that meet rules of origin requirements under USMCA It's likely some of the 50-62% of goods not using those provisions can meet them, but it's unclear how much (and could be a paperwork burden)

Trump eased the 25% tariffs on Mexico & Canada today—exempting USMCA-complaint goods for 30 days. That still leaves $500B hit, especially oil, cars & parts, aluminum, baked goods, & more* Aluminum is of particular note since it'll be hit with an additional 25% tariff on March 12

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.
