The FAA has grounded all flights to and from El Paso International Airport, located on the southwestern Texas border, for the next 10 days due to special security reasons. The FAA warns U.S. government may use deadly force against an aircraft in violation, if it is deemed to pose an imminent security threat. The no-fly restriction applies to airspace over El Paso as well as nearby Santa Teresa, New Mexico. Fort Bliss lies just west of the airport.

And yet, the intent of the wording is obvious. The wording doesn't state both legal residents and illegal aliens, since there obviously shouldn't be any illegal aliens on U.S. soil.

The census is a count of legal residents in the US. Most are citizens while some are green card holders, but they are all legal residents. There shouldn't be any illegal residents on US soil.

The Republicans have had to file a lawsuit to prohibit the U.S. Census Bureau from counting people who are in the U.S. illegally during the 2030 census. Why should they even have to do that? Doesn't it go without saying? Immigrant rights groups say “That unlawful request would distort representation for millions of Americans and shake the foundations of our representative democracy. What? The Republicans are only talking about illegal immigrants (not Americans) who shouldn't be on U.S. soil to begin with. The census would apply to legal immigrants.

Reuters - Becky Ringstrom was heading home after following federal immigration officers in her gray Kia SUV in suburban Minneapolis when she was boxed in by ICE vehicles and arrested by agents. After the arrest, the 42-year-old mother of seven later said she was transported to Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in downtown Minneapolis where an officer gave her a citation charging her under a federal law that criminalizes impeding law enforcement. Her name and photo were added to a government database. The arrest of Ringstrom became the latest detention of one of thousands of local activists for violating Title 18, Section 111 of the U.S. Code, a catch-all charge for anyone who “forcibly assaults, resists, opposes, impedes, intimidates, or interferes” with a federal officer conducting official duties. The statute can be charged as a felony or misdemeanor. As a felony, it carries up to 20 years in prison (penalties beyond eight years are reserved for people who use “a deadly or dangerous weapon” or cause an injury). The Trump administration has prosecuted at least 655 people under that charge. How does a "mother of 7" have the spare time to run around obstructing ICE vehicles? Unless she's getting paid? In addition to collecting tax-payer funded benefits for 7 kids?

The rest of the world runs 24V in heavy trucks and zero issues. It’s actually better. Leave it to the EPA to sabotage proven engineering.

In light and medium trucks, the Deutz are water-cooled. I had good experience with water-cooled Deutz in 863 Bobcats. My Liebherr A912 rubber-tired excavator did have an air-cooled Deutz and was absolutely trouble-free.

Utility tractors under 25 horsepower are exempt from Tier 4 emissions, so no DPF or DEF.

A federal appeals court Friday night backed the Trump administration’s policy to lock up the vast majority of people it is seeking to deport without offering a chance for bond, even if they have no criminal records and have [illegally] resided in the U.S. for decades. A divided three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that the administration’s view is the correct interpretation of the federal government’s power to detain people targeted for deportation. “That prior Administrations decided to use less than their full enforcement authority … does not mean they lacked the authority to do more,” per Judge Edith Jones, a Reagan appointee. https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2026/02/06/win-trump-appeals-court-blocks-judges-releasing-migrants/
