ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

More street vendors taken by ICE today, according to rapid response team & neighborhood reports.

Those ladies are very loved by the community. I bought tamales from her many times.

"Saying you're 'buying a house in New Zealand' is kind of a wink, wink, say no more," Reid Hoffman previously said. The same presumably goes for bunkers.

But there's a distinctly human flaw.

I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking.

Genuinely kind of funny how many people argued that criticizing US corporations playing ball with the PRC's censorship requirements to get access to that market was sinophobia when that turned out to be the blueprint for how they'd react to authoritarianism here

Lol they don’t have the fire in their bellies for these lies. Everybody, but everybody, knows that “no kings” does not equal “hate America.” The people who want us to have a king are the ones who believe America is deficient and they need to destroy its foundations.

Not sure why there's suddenly a complete freakout on the far right about bloodlust from liberals for revenge come 2029. Could be mirror propaganda to stir up preemptive crackdowns or just a realization of how hated these people are.

Trump vs. US was the final straw imo. You cannot read that ruling and continue believing they have legitimacy. It is not only against the plain text of the constitution, it is anathema to the national ethos. It is offensively, insultingly un-American and they ceded legitimacy by committing that sin.
