We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names.
None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists.

Fact-check of Trump’s tariff speech finds some doozies. Why tariffs? Speech suggests they could replace income tax, benefiting wealthy over lower income Americans. When a choice makes no apparent sense, it’s usually about $$$.

Ann Arbor was meant to grow. We just didn’t follow through. In the 1970s, city planners envisioned 150K residents in a compact, connected city. Instead, we built zoning walls around downtown and called it progress. Part 4 of my “Density is Fun” series. #a2council
