Recent supreme court cases

Unremarked upon so far has been the fact that Nicola Sturgeon is taking an enormous gamble in seeking to win the Supreme Court’s approval for what most observers reckon is her plan for an unlawful referendum on Scottish independence. No, not because it is a certainty that she’ll lose, although again that's the smart bet, but because since the SNP took a firm grip on the Scottish government 15 years ago, the relationship between its ministers and the Supreme Court has, to say the least, been extremely fraught.

This reached a head two years later when the then SNP justice minister Kenny MacAskill launched a scathing attack on the judges over their, in his view, ignorance of Scots law.

Human smuggling operations led by Central American drug cartels have exploded since U.S. President Joe Biden took office, according to a former top Mexican immigration official. Former Mexican immigration chief Tonatiuh Guillén said Friday that human smuggling industry south of the United States’ southern border has seen extreme growth recently as drug cartels and other smaller smuggling operations transport people to the U.S. “Drug-trafficking organizations end up dominating the structure of migrant-trafficking groups,” Guillén told The Wall Street Journal . “There’s been a huge expansion in the last two years.” Former Mexican intelligence chief Guillermo Valdés backed up Guillén’s claim, telling the WSJ: “Migrant smuggling has become an industrial business. Demand is huge and rising, and that means you need more and bigger transportation.” Valdés comment on “bigger transportation” is a reference to the use of vehicles such as the abandoned tractor-trailer found near San … [Read more...] about Ex-Mexican Immigration Chief: Cartels Made ‘Huge Expansion’ In Human Smuggling Trade ‘In Last Two Years’ | The Daily Wire
