Iran's Shipping War, Fed Inflation, ICE Traffic Stops, Deportations

from 4 Things To Know This Afternoon · host Erick-Woods Erickson

Iran Threatens Critical Shipping Lanes I explain how the battles over the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea could drain American resources, raise costs, and allow Iran to keep destabilizing global trade. The Federal Reserve Confronts Inflation I examine Kevin Warsh's testimony, the latest encouraging inflation data, and why the Federal Reserve is still keeping potential interest rate increases on the table. ICE Suspends Traffic Stops After Fatal Shootings I look at the decision to suspend vehicle stops during immigration operations after two deadly encounters and what it could mean for deportation arrests. Deportation Requires Strength Without Cruelty I make the case for enforcing our immigration laws while recognizing that voters want a government that is firm, careful, and compassionate in how deportations are carried out.
