Canada Strikes Back: Matching U.S. Auto Tariffs

In a bold move, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada will impose matching tariffs on U.S. automobile imports. This decision comes in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's 25% tariffs on auto imports, which took effect on April 3, 2025.

Administrative Error Leads to Controversial Deportation

The Trump administration recently admitted to an "administrative error" that resulted in the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident, to El Salvador. Despite a 2019 court ruling granting him protection from deportation due to credible fears of persecution, Abrego Garcia was mistakenly sent to a Salvadoran mega-prison on March 15, 2025. 

Abrego Garcia, who has lived in the U.S. since he was 16, fled gang violence in El Salvador. He resides with his U.S. citizen wife and their child. The deportation occurred under the Alien Enemies Act, a rarely invoked 18th-century law, as part of a broader immigration crackdown. The administration has stated that it cannot facilitate his return, citing jurisdictional limitations.

The case has sparked legal and political debates, with critics highlighting the potential dangers Abrego Garcia faces in El Salvador and questioning the administration's adherence to legal protections. His attorneys continue to advocate for his safe return to the United States.
