Shortly after a huge crowd of people in southern US border before Section 42 was repealed amid the pandemic, a law was passed that made it easier for US authorities to ban immigration entry in their territories, referring to the health of the population, the Government of the President Joe Biden announced that “our borders are not open” and that “anyone who tries to enter the country illegally will be arrested.” The law, in place since 2020, was repealed at midnight on Thursday. Its end was followed by scenes of anguish and despair along the southern border, as people who had been waiting for months to seek asylum in the country figured it would be easier for them to do so now. President Biden warned that the end of Section 42 could be followed by “scenes of chaos for a while.”

Meanwhile in the Republican camp, Mr. Donald Trump he appears to be “trying to overcome the limits he did not overcome during his reign”, as the New York Times characteristically notes. During a nearly hour-long interview with CNN on Wednesday, the former president announced his potential agenda for a second term, saying, among other things, that the US should default on its debt for the first time in its history. , external debt.

In addition, he argued that the case of the rape of journalist and writer Jean Carroll, for which he was convicted and ordered to pay the amount of $ 5 million, is a “ridiculous case.”

Shortly after these statements, Carol stated in an interview that she was considering suing the former president. “He is evil, he hurts people. I feel sorry for the young Americans who listen to him,” he said. In an interview with CNN, Trump said that the trial was rigged and that Carroll’s goal was simply to extract money from him. The audience, made up mostly of Republican voters, reacted to this statement with laughter and applause.

The scathing criticism the network has received for its handling of interviews with the former president comes not only from activists and opposition parties, but now from people inside the channel. Hosts, staff and executives said they were disappointed that Trump “had been given the freedom to spread his lies.” “He called a black cop a ‘tramp’, attacked the host and made fun of the sexual abuse of Miss Carroll while the audience laughed downstairs,” host Jake Tupper said indignantly.
