Possibly the dumbest decision by a place that has no shortage of self-inflicted wounds in recent years.
If you’re an MLS fan, subscribe to Doyle’s newsletter. I promise you’ll get coverage you want.
Why the league doesn’t want to be in that business anymore is incomprehensible.

Fifteen years ago, I got my dream job writing for MLSsoccer. Last week, that came to an end.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Bovino sent this email at 3:11 p.m. on Oct. 4.
This is what the scene looked like at 2:48 p.m. when the first group of feds made their exit. They gassed people again at 3:27 p.m.
So during this attack, Bovino congratulated his guy who kicked everything off by shooting a woman five times.

That Trump/Miller prioritize sheer numbers of removals over all else is demonstrable. They're shifting massive law enforcement resources *away* from serious crimes and into removing non-criminals. To them, ethnic reengineering > public safety and high jobs numbers.

I have no problem w security guarantees for Russia: once it has retreated inside its internationally recognised borders, Ukraine & the West should promise not to attack RU territory. But Grushko is asking for guarantees of continued Ukrainian insecurity, not Russia’s security. That’s unacceptable.

Would be a real shame if suddenly the roads leading to these warehouses were removed by the city.
Crucially, many local governments are furious with ICE over these purchases, because they were not consulted or even told. Because they are federal property now, it's taking a commercial property off the tax rolls while likely imposing dramatic additional infrastructure costs.

Alex Heigl reports on a program at San Quentin where San Francisco Conservatory students work with incarcerated men on writing and performing.
"I love the times when we look around at each other while the spirit of music is being felt and played. In those moments I feel closest to God and Heaven."
