Donald Trump wants to deport illegal immigrants with ʼno judges or court casesʼ In a series of tweets fired off on Sunday, US President Donald Trump described people entering the country from Mexico as "invaders" trying to "break into the country," and suggested sending them back to their country of origin without legal proceedings.

"When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came," he wrote.

American civil rights advocates immediately responded that such a procedure would violate the US Constitution. "What President Trump has suggested here is both illegal and unconstitutional," a tweet from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) read.

"Any official who has sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution and laws should disavow it unequivocally."

Biofuels: Good or bad for the environment?

Brexit: BMW follows Airbus in warning of cut to UK operations

In the early part of this century, as governments grappled with how to most effectively combat global warming, policymakers put carbon emissions caused by transport in their crosshairs.

Transport, after all, accounts for 22 percent of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Emissions in that sector are increasing faster than any other, due also to steady growth in the use of personal cars in the developing world. And so governments came up with what they thought was the perfect solution: What if the cars could burnnaturally occurring, renewable biofuelsinstead of fossil fuels? Bio-based crops donʼt emit carbon — or so they assumed. Brazil established its ethanol fuel program 40 years ago, and today is

considered to have the worldʼs first sustainable biofuels economy, with almost all cars burning some element of biofuel. In 2005, the United States established its first national renewable fuel standard under the Energy Policy Act, calling for 7.5 billion gallons of biofuels to be used annually by 2012. The law obliges fossil fuel providers to mix in biofuel, mainly biodiesel from oilseed and ethanol from corn. Thanks to Americaʼs plentiful corn production, the US is today the worldʼs largest ethanol producer.

BMW, which manufactures the iconic Mini and Rolls Royce cars, on Friday called on the British government to declare its preferred position on trade and customs with the European Union once it leaves the bloc. The German carmakerʼs special representative in the UK, Ian Robertson, said the company needed clarity by the end of the summer. "If we donʼt get clarity in the next couple of months we have to start making those contingency plans ... effectively making the UK automotive industry less competitive than it is in a very competitive world right now," he told the BBC.

BMW employs about 8,000 people in the UK. Last year, the firm said, that despite Brexit, it would produce a fully electric version of the Mini at its UK factory, near the city of Oxford.

The carmaker builds another quintessentially British car, the Rolls Royce, at a facility in Goodwood, West Sussex. But BMWʼs chairman Harald Krüger has also made it clear that production could be moved to the Netherlands in the event of a hard Brexit — a scenario where Britain would leave the EU without a comprehensive trade and customs deal.
