The Trump administration opened a new front in its immigration policy, the financial system, through an executive order signed on May 19 of this year, the White House instructed the Treasury Department and Regulatory Agencies toTighten controls on bank accounts, credits and transfers linked to unauthorized immigrants neatly suited to work in the United States. Although this order does not directly prohibit remittances, it does raise new financial oversight rules that could change the way millions of immigrants send money to their families throughout Latin America.
The measure pays special attention to the use of ITIN, the tax number used by people who do not have social security, as well as small international transfers, digital payment platforms and cash deposits that the government considers potentially associated with illicit activities.
In the order, Trump affirms that financial investigations detected operations linked to Mexican cartels dedicated to fentanyl traffickingas well as transnational criminal networks that allegedly take advantage of bank accounts and money transfer platforms in the United States.
Mexico could be one of the countries with the greatest impact. Remittances sent from the United States represent a predominant source of income for millions of families and have reached historic levels in recent years. For now, many of the measures will still have to go through regulatory processes before coming into force. However, the message is clear, the Trump administration seeks to turn the financial system into another tool of immigration retention.

At shows with Clary Castro. He told us in recent weeks that there are new productions.
“It’s the new season of The Lord of the Skiesthe tenth and final season of this franchise with which Telemundo conquered Hispanic television with a completely different story.

We already know that this production will be released once the World Cup is over. So we will be watching the first episodes of Lord of the Skies back in July. We understand, according to a press release shared by the television station, that iconic characters such as Rutila Casillas as Carmen Aub and also Diana Ahumada as Isabella Castillo return with him,” Castro said.
He added that “along with them there is also a broader cast that obviously makes up the whole of the story where the names of Roberto Sosa, Maricela González, Robinson Díaz, Sandra Echeverría, Ximena González Rubio, Leonardo Álvarez, Denia Agalianou, Carlos Corona, Estefanía Hinojosa and many others stand out who are great characters within this plot that, as we know, managed to sweep boundaries and well, regardless of anything, of any criticism that may be made of it. To the Lord of the Heavens, I think he deserves closure and a closure that truly is closure at last, not a speculation of whether he will return, he will not return and with this it is clear to us that it is the end.
