ICE abducted a 15-year-old autistic boy during a bathroom break and kept him hidden for nearly a week.
His mother thought he was missing. Even local police couldn’t find him because ICE never told anyone they had him.

He was selling fruit with his mom when he asked to use the restroom.

Just another Fox News Tsunami of Adolescent Misogyny

Krasnov hates AOC, so this probably means Watters will be offered a cabinet position. 😬

Hmm... I wonder why you were on their call list. I hope you told them to remove your number and not sell it.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

Americans seem to think that all Latinos & Hispanics are the same, so they assume that they see themselves as one big family. It's racist, imo.
