The pilot of the Black Hawk helicopter that collided with the CRJ, Army Captain Rebecca Lobach, did not comply with directions to change course seconds before the fatal incident. On the night of January 29, Lobach was conducting an annual flight evaluation with her co-pilot Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, who was serving as her flight instructor. Three months on, new details reveal that Lobach made more than one mistake leading to the collision with an AA CRJ. Not only was Lobach flying her Black Hawk too high, but in the final moments before the impact, she failed to take advice and instruction from her co-pilot to switch course. Lobach's piloting skills were being tested during the evaluation on the fateful night, before the crew were informed that another aircraft was nearby. 15 seconds before colliding with the CRJ, Reagan National air traffic control told Lobach and Eaves to turn left, but she did not do so. Seconds before impact, co-pilot Eaves then turned to Lobach in the cockpit and told her that air traffic control wanted her to turn left. She still did not do so.

My friend, it does not apply to non-citizens who are illegally in the United States. In other words, people who should not be standing on US soil, and are only doing so because they criminally entered the country. An Illegal alien inherently enjoys no rights within the US, as they should not be within US borders to begin with.

To be clear, so-called "constitutional protections" do not apply to non-citizens within the United States illegally.

Exactly. It's really quite simple, as you perfectly stated.

A 16-page draft Trump administration executive order circulating among U.S. diplomats proposes a radical reduction to and restructuring of the State Department. The order would eliminate dozens of positions and departments, including those dealing with climate, refugees, democracy and Africa, as well as the Bureau of International Organizations, which liaises with the United Nations. It would also include a sharp cut to diplomatic operations in Canada. Under the changes, the sprawling State Department would be reorganized into four regional bureaus covering Indo-Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and Eurasia. Non-essential embassies and consulates in Sub-Saharan Africa would be shuttered. The order as written would eliminate, among others, the Bureau of African Affairs, the special envoy for climate, the Bureau of International Organizations, and the Office of Global Women’s Issues. Diplomatic relations with Canada would fall under a significantly reduced team delegated as the North American Affairs Office (NAAO) within the Office of the Secretary, and include a substantial downsizing of the U.S. embassy in Ottawa. Diplomatic staff would now be assigned to regions, where they would be expected to stay throughout their careers [Excellent!], rather than rotate around the world; current diplomats who don’t want to join the regional ranks could apply for a buyout until Sept. 30. A new foreign service exam would also be formulated requiring “alignment with the President’s foreign policy vision.” The prestigious Fulbright scholarship, which has sent thousands of promising students around the world for studies, would be recast as “solely for master’s-level study in national security-related disciplines” with priority “given to programs with intensive instruction in critical languages,” including Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Farsi and Arabic. The order would end fellowships associated with Howard University in Washington, as part of the Trump administration’s rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Under the plan, the Bureau of Humanitarian Affairs would assume any mission-critical duties previously carried out by USAID. “All positions and duties must receive explicit written approval from the President of the United States,” according to the order. The State Department’s workforce includes 13,000 members of the Foreign Service, 11,000 Civil Service, and 45,000 locally employed staff worldwide. Sounds great to me.

It's not too soon. Just-in-time production.
