A Guatemalan immigrant was arrested on monday after Ice agents viciously shatter the vehicles window. This happened in Massachusetts on Tallman street.
He has no criminal record. He and his wife waited inside the car for their lawyer to arrive. Video was cut short because of time constraints.

Massachusetts - The basil I tried to overwinter is mostly twigs now, but the native strawberries it shared a pot with are doing well indoors as a houseplant.

So to be clear - in Tennessee unidentified white men in hoodies can grab any immigrant that "looks" undocumented, and if officials even as much as vote to protect them it's a felony.
This is where we are now.

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.
