MEXICO DENIES US PERMISSION TO LAND PLANE WITH UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS 

 While two other flights to Guatemala were allowed to land in Guatemala, Mexico denied the US permission to land so the flight never left the US.

Trump is learning he needs cooperation from Mexico to deport the undocumented workers. 

Because Trump believes he has absolute power he ends foreign aid to Latin American.  This is the carrot which gets these countries to cooperate.  Why cooperate if Trump is going to end foreign aid until these countries surrender their sovereignty?

THIS APPROACH TO ACQUIRING SOVERIGNTY IS BEING USED AGAINST CALIFORNIA

Trump is effectively demanding that California surrender control over the fire areas or forgo any federal aid.  I want to see of all the Hollywood types who still think Trump is the second coming.

I am not sure how it would work.  California pays more into the federal budget than it receives back from the federal government.  Theoretically, they could hold back payments to the federal government to pay for the relief.

Lawsuits are not always about winning, they can also be about pushing a political agenda.

There are 9 Republican House Members in California.  There could be enough to align with the Democrats to create are war between the House and the Senate.  Just 2 or 3 Republicans can declare as Independents and caucus with the Democrats, and the Republicans will lose the House.
