TOKYO: Tokyo stocks fell Tuesday morning after global markets were spooked by the Trump administration’s controversial crackdown on immigration, sending the yen up against the dollar.

Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 index was down 1.33 percent, or 257.94 points, at 19,110.91 yen at the break, while the broader Topix index of all first-section issues was down 1.17 percent, or 18.10 points, at 1,525.67.
