A number of fliers were posted in a Washington, D.C., neighborhood, featuring ICE logos and citing federal laws about immigrants. The agency has disavowed them.Republican partisans could be taking unsanctioned action
or it could be a Trump campaign committee action.

Questions for: ‘Trump Will Withdraw U.S. From Paris Climate Agreement’
Do you think Mr. Trump made the right choice? Why or why not?https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/02/learning/questions-for-trump-will-withdraw-us-from-paris-climate-agreement.html
Donald trump has proven himself a selfish bastard
He has forced the diplomatic corps to follow his whim.
Dave Horn has done a good precis.
The U.S. will meet the goals of the Paris treaty without federal action.
The world will surpass the two degree warming limit.
The Paris goals are not sufficient to prevent disaster in the tropics. Disasters will not be limited to the tropics.
The longer action on carbon emissions is delayed the more draconian will be the actions required.
The G7 know.

Ex-British Party Leader Is Pulled Into Trump Campaign Inquiry
Nigel Farage, who led the U.K. Independence Party, scoffed at The Guardian’s report that said he was a “person of interest” in the F.B.I.’s investigation.The F.B.I. is properly concerned with U.S. domestic intelligence.
In so far as Nigel Farage was involved with the Trump campaign he is a person of interest to the F.B.I. He is obviously a person of interest to the British domestic intelligence service.
A Russian connection is not germane.

Trump’s Travel Ban
A reader writes that the administration is unwilling to give up the fight to reinstate the ban.There is no need to limit the administration to just one reason. Be generous, any reason to ban Islam will please
the Christian Right.

Opinion
Should the President’s Words Matter in Court?
In general, no. In the case of Trump’s travel ban, yes.Trump's statements before and after election bear directly on his presidential order.
Last Thursday’s opinion by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit properly rejected the order as probably unconstitutional.
The supreme court should refuse an appeal.

Written Proof That the President’s Lobbyist Ban Is Worthless
Leave it to Mr. Trump to take an exception to a rule and make it the rule. “Ethics waivers” are now permission to ignore ethical standards.Yes.
