CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

My dear grandmother was a geologist, and it would have given her great joy to hear her grandson digging into rare earth minerals, finding out what they do, and why they matter.

#AlexAlott was charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer with an umbrella. Yesterday, she was exonerated because VIDEO disproved the accusation. But Daniel, who attended the trial to support her, was detained the same day that the trial finished.
