close consideration. sandra: we ll see what comes from the g-7 summit with controversy with our key allies. bill: secretary pompeo was in the white house yesterday saying the president s well aware of what s at stake tuesday. president trump is hopeful but also going in the summit with his eyes wide open. we have seen how inadequate agreements have been struck in the past and he will not stand for a bad deal. bill: can they get a good deal? can they get an agreement? lee zeldin is up next from the hill. sandra: as the u.s. grapples with a surge of arrests at the border a new controversial plan for housing some of those detainees. acting commissioner of customs and border patrol ron batelo. bill: and there s three dozen names for possible pardons
being done under the trump administration. they are usually pretty open about fact that they are alternative accounts. alt department of labor, alt library of congress and one called alt immigration, the alternative account for the agency called u.s. citizenship and immigration service. this account has been critical of muslim ban. apparently that criticism was not well received by the actual trump administration. on march 14 the u.s. customs and border patrol sent a summons to twitter, to the company, asking for all records regarding this twitter account including user names, account log in, phone numbers, mailing addresses and ypaddresses. real border patrol faxed that summons to twitter on march 14. unfortunately, they asked
twitter to comply by march 13, the day before they sent it which itself is mind bending. yesterday twitter sued pretty much everybody involved in issuing this strange summons and filed a case against the department of homeland security, homeland security secretary, acting commissioner of customs and border patrol agency. and the lawsuit said that customs and border patrol didn t have grounds to issue a summons like this. i know that sounds like weird legal ease until you see that, in fact, the u.s. code that customs and border patrol cited when they issued this summons and demanded this information what they cited is a part of the u.s. code that relates to, quote, inquiries relating to the importation of merchandise. tweets are not merchandise nor are they imported.
but nice try. did you try to get them for parking, too? i don t know who the trump administration has working at the legal office at customs and border patrol but we can tell two things. one, they don t have a a sense of humor and they are not that awesome when it comes to the legal stuff. after twitter sued them yesterday, today customs and border patrol tried to make the whole thing go away and rescinded the summons and dropped the request for information related to this mean parody twitter account. they want it all to go away so twitter has dropped their lawsuit in response. but under the trump administration that s your tax dollars at work. g every dollart my business was built with passion.
issue far beyond the campaign trail. the sudden surge and what we can do it. the former commissioner of customs and border patrol will be here next. but first, a look at today s planner. of course, election day, hillary clinton interview, a lot of stuff going on. we ll be right back. if healthc, if it becomes simpler. if frustration and paperwork decrease. if grandparents get to live at home instead of in a home. the gap begins to close. so let s simplify things. let s close the gap between people and care. ugh. heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm. amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.
